How to convince my mom I could handle a boyfriend at 13?

I’ve been with my boyfriend for 7 months and I’ve known him since 3 years ago (Before I moved in with my mom). We been together before,but now we are more serious. I would say that I care a lot about him, and he respects me.We know that we cant be together forever but we want to make a shot.Even though im young im very mature, and I know that most guy’s arent like him.I want to make this work for a while, because he is willing to do anything for me.There’s only one problem my mom’s trying to make him brake up with me.

I think your mom is just trying to make you break up with him because she is trying to protect you and she doesn’t know this boy.

You should have a long talk with your mom and tell her that you are responsible and matured enough to know how to handle a relationship. I’m quite sure sex hasn’t really crossed your mind yet and you are going to be very careful about it and wait until you’re older, so tell your mom this too. Be serious and reassure her about it. She will be a bit more relieved. Tell her where your morals stand. Then, tell her about this boy - how long you’ve known him, how good he is to you, etc etc.

Then the best way to gain your mother’s trust is to offer to bring him over to meet her. Maybe for dinner, or maybe for something less formal like tea. She will probably ask him a few questions to get to know him, but I’m pretty sure that your mom will be very gentle about it if you’ve explained to her how matured you both are.

Answer #2

You don’t have to convince her of anything. Just don’t make it any of her business to know or judge whether or not you date someone, its as simple as that.

Answer #5

I’m not really sure how to answer this question. When I think of my daughter having a boyfriend at 13 it really freaks me out. Have a talk with her, ask her why you can’t have a boyfriend. Bring him around to meet her, maybe suggest that he comes over more and the two of you hang out at your house. Most likely your mom is scared of what’s going to happen when the two of you are alone. That’s probably why she doesn’t want you to have a boyfriend. Just talk to her.

Good luck
