Lol no. Unless its matching an outfit. Other then that if u can't drive , work , Carr for a baby, buy a six pack or even borrow money n pay for it back yourself. Then no. Sorry it's not what u would like to hear but it's the truth. Just try to make life easier on yourself. Listen to your parents. Whatever they ask u to do get it over with as fast as u can n then u will have plenty f time to do all the extra fun stuff u want. Even though u know how to text, surf the web , n may say a curse word here n there doesn't mean ur old enough to make your own decisions. Web your older you will understand.

I think that when you reach 13 years old, you should be allowed to make certain choices about your life but your parents are still the ones who make the final decisions. This is because; at this age you are still a minor and you have not yet matured mentally and emotionally. Therefore, you should listen to what your mom says since she knows what's best for you.

There's certain decisions you can make but your parents are still in charge

No, not even a big jump, 18-21 is when you can

You're just becoming an age. It's not as important as being 18. Technically 13 is still a child

At 13 you START to make choices. You can start making choices about who your are friends with and how you want to express yourself. I know you think you are growing up, and you are, just not quite as much as you think. Don't be in such a rush to grow up. It really isn't all it is cracked up to be.

Yeah some not all

Your mom is right, you are still a minor. You still have a lot to learn. I know you don't want to hear that, but, that is the way it is.

Add to that, your parents can still be held responsible if you do something that causes harm to another person, or property.

If you want your mother to trust you to be able to make more of your own decisions show her you have a sense of responsibility. You know what you need to do, like doing your homework or cleaning your room, do them without having to be reminded. If there is a certain time you are supposed to be home, get home on time. If there are things that you normally don't have to do, but you know it would help your mom if you do them, then offer to help. Little things can go a long way to help your mother see that you can handle more responsibility. If you want her to trust you to make good decisions show her you can handle the ones you have now.

Better yet tell me a choice you would like to make. Everbodys got comments of course. However i know from experience that we need to address each decision you want to make one by one. This way all options can be examined to find the best one. This is what guiding a teenager and showing them how to learn is all about. This will build trust between us and them that we actually care about them. Rather than telling them no and shut up and sit down. This conveys to them that they are stupid or dumb and lowers their selfworth. Take it from a grandparent who screwed up enough. This kind of experience is why grandparents are the best. Most children love to go to grandparents house

Great answer superglide! Wish my parents had thought more like you. I, unfortunately rebelled once old enough to leave home. Made a LOT of mistakes, simply because I was doing what I WANTED TO DO! Which were mostly the things they'd always said "no" about! I didnt learn to think for myself, & consider the consequences of my actions until much later in life. ( thnx to Bill & Bob & the 12 steps) I'm trying to raise my kids to think about their decisions/choices they make, rather than saying no "just because I said so!"
( I'm following you now too by the way! lol!)

well she took away my itouch for 2 weeks because I swore when I was with my friends, so I'm not allowed to swear, she won't let me walk downtown with my friends so they all go without me, she won't let me hang out at my guyfriends house because she thinks for some reason I'll have sex with him and get aids or he'll rape me (i dont know why she thinks that, she obviously doesn't trust me) she won't let me go to my bestfriends house who lives across the street when her parents aren't there, she won't let me wear short shorts to school on hot days, and she won't let me go to any of the popular kids houses just to hang out so everybody thinks im a total dork:/

It's your parents job to bring you up to be a future parent, so listen to your parents, they have a big job. you. 13 is young, too young to make all the right moves, Life is Hard, be a kid and have fun. and be honest, with mom and dad, about how you feel...listen to all your elders and you will be successful.

Their are so many pure evil people in the world, that even the safe towns have evil people who are waiting for you and your friends cause you think you safe but you are not, you need to listen to your elders, because we know they ARE out there, waiting for you and your friends to be unprotected from your parents.

13 is an age that you are entering a time you have to decide what is wrong and right on your own.Your parents job is to guild you in making the right decidion.They are the same parents today as they was when you was 5 and told you watch out for car in the road you could get ran over.You trusted them then:)You will make mistakes parents are there to help you.You are not grown up yet 5 mores years.Remember you are only other parents protection till 18.Then the rest of your life you are grown around 50 years or more.Best thing to tell you slow down cause 5 years your wasting trying to be grown up enjoy being that teen and care free.Liife is headed your way fast:)

You could hardly be more wrong. There are many reasons why people aren't legally adults until 18. Keys face it. We aren't fully cooked until we're around 24. Sweetie I know you feel very grown up but at 13 you are really still a little child.

The extent to which you're allowed to make your own choices should be based on the amount of responsibility you show, not on the age you attain. Make good responsible decisions with the little things and your mom will start to trust you to make more important ones.

Wrong, mom is the boss, cuz you don't and aren't even legal to work, can't pay for your own food, can't pay for the roof over your head, and your still a minor by law. It's not up to mom really to let you choose to do whatever you want because you are not mature enough to fully understand all the consequences of your choices and you would most likely choose to do things that would get mom arrested for neglect of a minor. She is mandated by the law to protect you. It is your life to live how you want when the law says you are of legal age to do so, until then the law says your mother is in charge and if she doesn't do right by that you could be taken away from her. please obey your mother! you are her child until you are an adult then you are her loving daughter for the rest of her life.
