What makes your mother think like this? Do you generally behave in a responsible, respectful way, have nice friends, make good grades in school and help with household chores? Or is there something about the way you behave and the friends you keep that gives her cause for concern - obsessing over boys and having sex for example?
If it is obvious to you why she thinks this way then all you can do is show BY YOUR ACTIONS that this is unlikely. Be responsible, don't lie to her, be where you'll say you'll be, go to school, dress in an appropriate way, introduce her to your friends, don't be secretive about what you're up to and for goodness sake - don't have sex.
However if you are generally a good kid and doing all the right things and she is still saying this, next time she brings it up ask her up front what it is about the situation that worries her so much. Maybe you are doing something you are not aware of or someone has said something to her that is giving her genuine cause for concern.

first of all I am unsure as to why your mom would say such a thing. I think she should be encouraging you not to get pregnant, however I would say that her not believing you is the motivation to show her different. I do not know if you are sexually active or not, but 13 is young and hormones are there, I think that you might want to have a heart to heart with your ma and tell her it bothers you that she doesn't trust you. If you can't do that- then again use that as motivation to do the right thing. Hang in there being a teen is a lot of fun and full of decisions that make or break your future. Just think and then react and you will be fine. :)

My mother always feared that I'd get PG at a young age just like she did. Instead of being proactive she chose to be accusatory. Fortunately I never got PG. In fact I battled infertility for 14 years once I decided to have children. But the fact is no matter how much I said I wasn't going to have sex...I ended up losing my virginity @ 14. So there you go...never say never. Because you never know when you will give in.
I plan on taking a different approach with my daughter, I will educate her, make her aware of the choices she faces and either put her on the pill or buy her condoms...just in case. And this day in age its not just pregnancy you have to worry about, but STDS. Did you know that it been said that the high rate of teens having sex is what brought back gonorrhea, a std that was just about unheard of any more.

Only thing you can do is prove her wrong. My mom used to say I would be pregnant before I was 15. Not sure why she would say it. I was a straight A student, never really had an interest in boys due to school and always being locked in my bedroom. She even kicked me out of the house at 15. I was a virgin until I was 17. I think it is just a fear thing, or someone has told her something that has given her a reason to think that way?

Your mother is expressing her fears. This is her biggest fear. You need to show her you are very trustworthy. Always tell the truth, even if you're going to get punished for it. Always let her know where you are and who you are with. Get involved in a youth group, maybe at church, so she sees you are around other young people who have values. Talk to her and let her know how you feel, that you are not going to get pregnant. BTW, I'll bet she got pregnant too young, didn't she? In psychology, that's called projection, when you project your feelings onto another person.

Show her your genuine interest in school, not boys. Always let her know where you are, who you're with and what you're doing.
My biggest piece of advice is concentrate on your education now - it will so pay off if you work hard in school from here on out. Both my sisters had full rides to college and they make lots of $$ now.
No boy is worth your time until you're done with college, over 22, he's 25 and has his masters degree! LOL!
I have 3 daughters and I impress this on them often. There is nothing more important than behaving and getting good grades right now - it pays off! Trust me!

Okay... Did she get pregnant at a young age? Do you dress provocative or inapropriately? Are you already sexually active?
There are many factors in her thinking this way. You need to figure them out and prove her wrong that way. I know when you are young what your parents think of you is important, it was for me. Don't let your behavior confirm her thinking or she will become convinced and not trust you. Talk to her and communicate. Ask for her advice. Let her know that you trust her, in turn, she will trust you more.

Perhaps the way you dress or some of your behaviors are leading her to think you're on your way to a promiscuous lifestyle. Sit down and have a talk with her. Find out why. And by all means, don't have sex until you are a mature adult.

She's making that assumption because she believes you to be a promiscuous girl. Stop having sex, foreplay, etc. She might think that if you're out with a different guy all the time...
Stop acting promiscuously, and she'll stop thinking you're bound to become pregnant.
