It's because you're 14. You shouldn't be doing those things. Get a clue that your mother has been around a lot longer and knows a lot more than you, and possesses the intellect and maturity to determine right from wrong, good from bad. You clearly do not. Instead of fighting it, grow up, open your eyes, and try to learn something.

Honey, you're 14. I'm 24 and my mom still likes to know everything in my life. Life doesn't suck, trust me. Life sucks when your moms a drunk and you have to live on the streets. Does she do that to you? Your mom is your mom. As much as you hate that - she is your authority. Love and respect her now, and she will love and respect you. The more you push her away, the more she'll put her foot down on your life. Here's what you do - write out 2 lists: things that you love about your mom and that you hate about her. Put the list down for a day and come back to it the next day. Read over the list and see if there is anything you put on the list of "hate" that is pretty unreasonable. If so, cross it off. Put it down and come back to it the next day. Do that for a week. Once you've thought through all your choices on the "hate" list and think they are legit, sit down with your mom and talk it over. Ask her "why" she has you do certains things and "why" she doesn't let you do others. Ask her to be specific. But be open minded and try to see things through her eyes. This will only strengthen your relationship. Trust me. I did it once and it did wonders.



One day when you're a parent, you'll understand exactly.

Your mom loves you!

14 is a difficult stage. When my girls were that age is was rough. They were smart kids and I loved them dearly, but they did stupid things because their friends did. I wanted them to have fun, but it sure was hard to keep track of them and I worried constantly.

U will never know hard hard it is to raise a baby into a child, and then watch over them while they pull away from U.

Be patient with your parental units. When U turn 18 soon enough, and when U do I hope U do not go hog wild and do stupid things.

My mom use to purchase noisy toys for all of her little nieces and nephews for birthdays and vacations and such. We continually use to snicker. She could purchase issues like drums or symbols. For us, it grew to become into hilarious, for the mothers and fathers that had to hearken to it, they hated it. Now the table has grew to become and this three hundred and sixty 5 days for Christmas ALL of my kin have been given some thing for my infant boy that makes noise. Drums, guitar, autos with quite loud sirens, tractors, trains and he won a elmo that i will hear making a music the potty music even while he's interior the washing room and that i'm each and each of how interior the kitchen! i do no longer like it, yet that pat me on the returned and reported "have exciting!" i do no longer think of if somebody gave a recent to my toddler that made noise and reported have exciting they does no longer mean it in a jerk way. I basically think of they could understand the aggrivation which you will want for listening to the toy. and you are going to be grateful that somebody you're actually not close to to cared sufficient to purchase your toddler a recent. It grew to become into fairly a constructive deed. you would be alright. reliable luck and "have exciting!"

you should tell her that you feel suffocated and let her know you are young and want to have fun but you're also old enough to know right from wrong. ease her into the idea of giving you a few hours at the weekend to be with friends and in time she will trust you enough to give you a bit more space.

You need to wait until you are older. Instead of going over to your friend's house,

invite your friend over to your house. I wouldn't let my daughter wear make-up until

she was 16. I didn't let her dye her hair and I had to talk to the parents of her friends

before she could stay over at their house. It is called being a parent. Would you rather she didn't care at all about you or what you did?

try to get her to understand that you've never done anything bad before. if she doesn't give you space than when you do leave the house she's not gunna be there to watch you. she needs to talk to you about dating and stuff if she's afraid you'll be a slut. your mom can't follow you everywhere eventually. only the wise words she's taught you. if she doesn't stop and wont trust you than bring facewash to school and do make up on the bus or whatever and wash it off early.

deal with it until you reach the age of 18.
