How to convince my parent im mature enough? my school offers to let juniors and seniors take free college classes at the actual college and i qualify but my mom (a single parent) is super overprotective and says she doesn't think im mature enough to go to college despite the fact that ive never sworn, i always come home from school or clubs immediately, my grades are perfect, and all my friends are the same. | Take responsibility for your decisions.
If you want to take those college courses, take it even if they discourage you and then pass it with good grades and show them,they will be proud of you.
Mimimize your parties and clubbing during your college courses and earn a scholarship through the college.
If you want to be 100% mature, find work,study and rent a room. | How can I tell when my domestic ducks are mature enough to be set free? We live on a lake and will continue to provide them with food and shelter. Right now they are in an enclosed pen with two wading pools (guydie pools) to swim in. They are large and white and their wing feathers are almost to their rumps. We rescued them as ducklings, so they never had a mom to coat
their feathers with oil and I don't know if they are making their own oil yet. They seem to be quite dry when they get out of their pools and I have seen water run off of them. Do you think they are old enough to swim in the lake? We got them at Easter when they were tiny and yellow....thanks! | | all water birds make their own oils to protect their feathers if you have seen water run off their backs then they are healthy, why not try a soft release which is slowly give them a few hours a day to go down to the lake but make sure they come back before its dak, do this every day for about 2 to 3 weeks they will get used to being "free" and still have the security of coming"home" at night with the shelter protection, they will be able to swim they have a innate behaviour which enables them to do it with out thinking pretty much. hope i helped | Men am i being unfair? be honest and mature when responding please? ladies feel free to comment as well please my so called b/f~s uncontrolled dog has ate over $1000. of my jewlry. the dog is 7yrs old. his mom steals from me and blames the dog. if something of theirs would be missing its not the dog!! only my things . he ate my eye glasses $395. so i got a loaner pair. he got those as well. and yes i put them up high. i feel he should replace them. he told me to get the money from the dog??? this is wrong of him i feel. i would settle for a cheaper pair so i can see. am i being unfair? i finally returned to work this week and he wants me to quit? NO WAY!!!!!!! i need woman things he complains as it is. he tells me when to go to bed what to do this is wrong. he lets his mom take my things there is a lock on the door. however, he opens it when im gone and she freely shops as in lifts. i have been dating him 16 months and he gave me $80. and still complains. should i give it back? he said he does not want it. or should i say the dog ate it?? they both need a dose of their own medicine any ideas | Fancy, DON'T LET ME DOWN. Sorry, I couldnt help myself.
First of all, you are obbviously madly in love with this guy or you wouldnt be dealing with all his crap. I think you might be a bit of a pushover if you dont put an end to this ridiculously retarded and vile situation of theft, distrust, loysalty and justification issues all rolled into a dysfunctional relationship. You have just a few very simple options. One: Do not get revenge. It never works out and almost always backfires into a situation you did not see coming. Trust me, been there, done that. Secondly: Tell him its either his mom, or you. This may sound like an irresponsible and unfair ultimatum, but then again, losing your valuables on a very regular basis is not in any way, okay. Third suggestion: Out of nowhere, sometime soon one would hope, you leave your apt., house, whatever...and get the hell away from that man! HE obviously doesnt care enough about you to end this piracy, or at least find out once and for all what indeed is going on. Lastly: If none of these strike your "fancy", then deal with the fact that you love the guy too much and will continue with your unhealthy relationship because he's either good in the sack or makes you feel better about yourself, FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS. BE a woman, and leave his *** like so many women have done to me for a hell of a lot less. Of course, that's just my opinion and I'm sticking it to you. | If I stay in my hometown after highschool, would I not mature as much? I live in Oregon and I've been planning for 6 years that once I graduate high school I would go to college at the Art Institute of Orange County and get my degree in Graphic Design.
But lately, I've kinda been having second thoughts. I'm thinking that maybe after I graduate high school, I should just stay here in my medium sized town in Oregon. I absolutely love my church Applegate and can't see myself ever pulling away from it. I want to get involved in the ministry and help counsel church camps and lead worship and all. And also, I would go to Cosmotology school if I stayed here. There is this great hair school called OIC (Oregon Institute of Cosmotology) and I've always wanted to be a hair stylist. And it only takes a year to obtain, and its around $13,000. If I went to the Art Institute to get my Graphic Design degree it would be $89,000. Big difference. I really just don't want to graduate from college and be in a huge buttload of debt. But if I got my cosmotology degree, it would only be $13,000 and I'm sure I could pay that off and not have a huge college loan that I'd have to be paying till I die. Also, if I stayed here in my hometown in Oregon, I would take a few art classes at my local university or community college. And I would probably work at a coffee stand like Starbucks, Human Bean, or Dutch Bros. And I would save SOOO much money living either with my mom (free) or renting an apartment...which would be like $800 a month, rather than paying $2,000 for an apartment down in Orange County where the Art Institute is located. It all seems so good, cheap, and safe to stay here in my hometown.
But my older brothers don't want me to do that.
They think that it's good to BRANCH OUT after high school, and they think it's good to have the experience of moving somewhere new and unfamiliar and they think that you grow up alot more and mature faster if you do that. They think I wouldn't grow as much if I just stayed in my safe little hometown.
And they are right...I guess I do like the idea of staying here because it's safe and familar to me. But there are SOO many benefits of staying here. I'd save SO much money. I'd get my hair degree in a year. It's only $13,000 so I'd be able to pay it off. I would be EXTREMELY involved in my beloved church that is amazing. I'd take a few art classes at the local colleges. I'd work at a coffee stand. I'd know all the people around me....it just all seems so good!
But would I really not grow, and mature as much as an individual if I played it safe and stayed here? What do you think?
Thanks for reading this lonng, detailed question. I appreciate it =D | | Becca, what a well thought out question you have. Literate, articulate, and full sentence structure... Are you sure you don't want to study to be a teacher? When everything is said and done...you laid out your question in such a manner as if you answered it yourself. The way I look at it... is that for some people, getting out of Dodge is a good thing. It gives them a chance to experience life on a different level, but for others, the sanctity of a safe familiar environment is equally as beneficial for growth. Either way...when your 30, you'll still be 30. It doesn't matter what state your in. I personally like the idea of hangin' in close to home...even though I didn't. But I didn't make ties that I wanted to hang with. Your church family seems really important to you, and you know everybody around ya. I feel that if you went out and borrowed all the big money...that you would eventually end up back in your hometown. I think I would do the hair thing...and take the classes when you can. Once you can cut hair in your sleep...(and I think you will be an excellent stylist)... You can use this knowledge to help you in your pursuance of Graphic Design. In the long run...which will make you more money?....I dunno...In the long run...which make make your life happier?...giggle..you've figured that one out already. Good luck to you dear, whichever career path you decide to follow. My recommendation!... Just pick one, and enjoy your life. | How can i prove to my mom im mature enough? Well, i can see that my mom dosent think im mature enough already. She says i loose alotta stuff (which i dont, like 1 or 2 school books maby). I want to prove to my mom im mature enough to let me do stuff i cant do now. I asked my mom can i have my own website (its free of course) she said no, maby when your older. She's worried about me talking to people on the net because she thinks they might be pedophiles and i will give them my adress.....i have been talking to people online for like 5 years now and nothing happend cause im not "that" stupid. But, i want to prove to my mom i am mature, i dont do alotta chores around the house and i leave the area around my computer messy most of the times and ill change that. But any other idea's people? =X (and im 13, just to let you know XDD) | Mature behavior has to be demonstrated over a period of time, before your mother will view you as gaining maturity.
Habitually, you need to behave in ways that show you're making responsible decisions, and thinking of others (e.g. family members) before yourself.
I'm sorry to tell you, but I side with your mother. Losing a single textbook (that your parents will have to pay for) is unacceptably irresponsible. At your age, you shouldn't even have to think about keeping track of your books. It should be automatic. It sounds like you don't think it's a big deal to lose 1, maybe 2 books. But, losing just 1 book shows such a magnitude of irresponsibility, that it's going to be a long, long time, before it's forgotten.
Start pitching in around the house, without being asked. Offering to help prepare meals, set the table, clear the table, wash dishes or load/unload the dishwasher, take out the trash, help with bringing in and putting away groceries, etc. Running a household is a never-ending responsibility, and you could help. | Is Dating just an excuse for "free" benefits? I've been talking with a a few people, and a lot of them tell me that they would date a single mom but not marry her. I'm sort of thinking all single moms are good for is that "thing". I realize men mature at different ages, so maybe that's why they feel a single mother is not enough to put a ring on the finger? Personally, I used to be the type of woman that didn't date people with guys, but the older I become I realize it's about the connection you have with the person, not his baggage, though sometimes it can sway you the other way.
My question is: Do men use the word "dating" as just an excuse to get all the benefits of a real commitment without having intentions to committ? | Maybe. I don't see it that way but whatever
SteveC | OK moms of teens, I have a question for you...about dogs..? hello, i need adults with experience and i appreciate your answers.
if you were MY mom, (single with two teens, three cats, rented house.) how could I (a reasonably responsible, well behaved, and well rounded teen) convince you (as my mom) to get me a dog?
i know this is a strange question but the stuff teens say (beg and cry for it) isn't mature and won't get me anywhere. I have been volunteering at the local animal shelter (out of my own free will) and I told my mom i would not get attached but...there is a little fox terrier mix that has been harshly treated then surrendered :( I love her quiet and timid nature and my mom met her but is all like "i don't want to get attached" how can i convince mom to get me this dog? | | I wouldn't because my sister when I was younger liveing with my parents bought a golden retreiver pup a female then a male later then the dog got pregnant and had puppies , and she went to aulstrailia and we lived in the USA so no way! | Isn't this really my moms fault? My brother is 14 and he is an 8th grader.
He and this girl have a crush on each other.
My brother is a smart guy and not like other 14 year olds, hes more mature for his age. He really is a good guy.
My mom has all reason to give him full trust yet she treats this situation like she doesn't.
She won't even get to know the girls parents or the girl so she can trust her as well.
My mom has blocked this girls number from my brothers cell phone and only lets him call her from the home phone. She doesn't let them hang out either.
She says that she doesn't like texting and that she doesn't like the fact that he wants to text his friends more thn he does call and she only says that because she really wants to hear what is said over the phone. GOOD GOD cut the umbilical cord!
Because of my brothers forced distancedness the girls friends have been telling her he is using her to get closer to one of her friends. She is really hurt and my brother really does like her, a lot.
Now, I am not saying she should give him free reign over this BUT she needs to get to know the girl and her parents, set ground rules for my brother and take the block off the phone, we have unlimited texting plus she is verizon like us so I doesn't cost anything to begin with.
IMO, this is all my moms fault. Of course she had no control over the girls spreading rumors but her actions in this situation caused them to think what they did.
I don't know what to do....I am tired of seeing my brother so miserable.
My mom really does hate texting but my brother and I don't so she needs to get over that, she is already paying for it why not let him use it....it doesn't make sense.
Help? | | Omg it is your moms fault try to arrange something where your mom can monitior your bros txting.Just convince her to have the girls parents over for dinner .He is almost in 9th grade wtf | How to convince my mom to get my bellybutton pierced? I'm 13 and I really want my bellybotton pierced. My friend's brother's girlfriend can do it for free and I really really want it because a lot of my friends have it and I think it looks really cute, also, I'm very responsible and mature for my age. How can I convince my mom? Any tips? Advice?
Thank you all for your help(: | | Read and think about all the stuff you will need to keep it clean make sure it doesnt get infected. It can become infected very quickly and it takes a long time to heal. Idk where your at, but its been very hot here lately and you wont be able to go into a pool and stuff because of it. Yeah they look very nice and cute, but do some research, and keep your grades up. | What is a good place to go on vacation? Well im 16 and me and my friend want to go some were on a get away. We are both really mature and responsible and so don't say we r to young to go some were alone. We were thinking Hawaii, or something, but also maybe a cruise. We were thinking of Europe but that pricey and also we might not be ready yet. His mom can get us free plane ticket so that no problem. Were is a nice place to go? | | legally, you cant rent a car, you cant rent a hotel room, you cant check INTO a hotel room even if your momma makes the reservations, you cant stay at most resorts without someone who is 21+, you cant do a lot of things without a guardian anddddd the list goes on and on. and you cant get in and out of the country alone without the right education visas etc. OR written permission from at least your fathers. i dont make the rules, thats just how they are. |
