2. Mom sounds like she is overprotecting you, which is normal.
3. Work on your education, that will help Mom to be a little bit more confident on your choices for yourself.
4. Ask when you can go out, and for how long. When she lets you go, keep with the schedule. After a while, she will be more secure in letting you go.
5. Ask her in a nice way, to be fair to you, and that you want to become responsible. She may yell, or *****, but don't take it personally. She wants you to have a good start in life.
6. Be reasonable in your requests, don't keep asking for what she is not ready to give at this time. You are young, so give it time:)
One of my daughters wants to see Twilight but knows I'll see it first to judge whether or not I feel it's acceptable for the values our family has.
You don't say how old your brother is. Is he older than you? If so then that explains why he can go to the movies with one friend and yo can't go to the mall with several. There is also a double standard (not always fair but there none the less) that lets boys go and do things that girls can't do.
Why aren't your grades very good? Is it a matter of not studying enough or is the work too hard? If the work is too hard then try to get some help and improve your grades if it's a matter of not studying enough then apply yourself and start getting better grades. By doing this you will show your mother that you are growing up and becoming more responsible. I know this doesn't sound like fun but it really is for your own good. (Can you tell I used to teach school LOL)
Remember that your mother loves you and only wants to keep you safe. Talk to her reasonably and see if you can work together and come up with some compromises. I take my girls and their friends to the mall and while I don't stick with them I'm fairly close. I don't go into stores with them or sit with them at the food court. We actually pretend we're not together!! They get to appear independant and I get to keep an eye on them and make sure they're safe.
Good luck and I hope you can work something out with your mom.
