writes:my mom doesn't let me out the house ever! once in a while she would let me have the rare opportunity to go to a b-day party, but only if it doesn't involve boys! i tried talking to her but nothing changes. I've stopped asking if i can go out cuz i know the answer is no. i feel like a prisoner and i need some advice on what to do. i leave school this year and move on to collage/6th form and the way my brother turned out when he had freedom i dont think things are going to change. please help.

My mother was the same way! it got to the point where I had to lie and say I had school work and had to go to the library! by no means do I encourage that though! Now that I'm older actually thank her because most of my friends are now pregnant or have 3 kids and no education lol just give it time!

Your mother is just over protective. My parents were the same way. There's really probably nothing you can do, believe me, I tried it all back then. Just deal with it, you're a child and unfortunately, your mother has a say in your social life. It sucks now, but you'll understand when you're older.

 Maybe your Mum thought that if she kept saying no you'd stop asking, which is what happened. So you should keep asking her to let you out.
You should also ask her why she doesn't want you to go out. Reassure her that you are aware of the risks of going out and drinking etc and you know how to control yourself. Show her how no harm has come to your friends. And tell her you've learned from your brother's mistakes. Ask her to give you the chance to go to one party so she can learn to trust you.
