Agreed with mandy in that you need be taking a more proactive approach towards earning your mother’s trust. If all you are doing is sitting at home being bored and lazy, I’m not surprised you aren’t making any headway. Use the time at home productively and constructively and privileges will be gradually earned. If you are expecting your mother to shower you with the trust and responsibilities of an adult, get ready to do some work and act like one.

What you need to remember is that you are the child and she is the parent. She is not overprotective for no reason - and most likely is not OVER protective - you are just exaggerating. It’s the parents responsibility to raise their child right, protect them, and take care of them until the turn 18. You are still so young and there is so much a mother has to worry about (rape, sex, drugs, accidents, death, people taking of you, pregnancy, etc). You may say that those things will never happen to you - but the world is full of people who said the same thing and have been through it. All she is trying to do is protect you and raise you the best way that she knows how.

If you want to try and get a little more lead-way. Show her some respect and show her you are mature. Do your chores, keep your grades up, follow her rules, and do not argue with her.
