Mom treats me like a baby

I have a mom that treats me like a child. She makes me stay within 4 feet of her when at the mall and she won't let me walk aruond the neighborhood with friend. She says that a strandger might grb me and hurt me! Se also tells my friends that I can't go with them to the mall because I might get stolen! Why is she doing this this to me?

my mom does it to me 2 there juzzz trying 2 kee you safe but your mom is like wow I cant even expain her!! lol I feel really bad 4 u

Ouch
that really stinks
she was just trying to help you
she is trying to make you so you dont turn out like me
I got raped in my own neighborhood

Just prove to her somehow that you are responsible enough
and maybe she will think about it

talk to her and tell her that you know she's just trying to keep you safe and that she's a good mother, but you need some freedom. try to make her understand that the two of you would share a healthier relationship if she'd just chill a little bit.

try and get her to gradually loosen her leash. start by getting her to let you go out with your friends. tell her that you'll stick close to friends, buddy system FTW. and say that you'll check in periodically? like call her and tell her you're alright every half hour or something. next time you're in the mall, ask her if you can go to a different store that's still close by and that you'll be back soon to assure her you haven't been snatched.

if she's still being overprotective, get angry! don't just take it. explain to her that what she's doing will create an unhealthy mother/daughter relationship and will only cause you to resent her. :/ but be patient and don't get angry with her too soon.
