How can i show my mom im upset with her?

My mom...Seems like she just doesn't want me.

It took her forever to let me dye my hair black, and she wouldn't talk to me for weeks. and I got blonde and red put in it now and shes still pissed. She won't let me wear any navy blue.black tee shirts because she says I look tacky, and I asked to dye my hair again and she makes excuses, saying it won't work out.

It seems like shes embarrassed of me, and what i look like. She let my sister dye her hair pink, and she gets to do what she wants.

Is my mom ashamed of me? How can I express to her that Im feeling this way, and I feel like a disappointment to her, and I just want to be a kid and have fun with my life.

    it sounds like she's being very unfair- sit her down and calmly explain to her that you're maturing and you want to be able to express yourself. wearing certain colours and having certain hair colours are things that you want to have and should be able to have, especially if you sister is allowed. tell her you know she's used to picking out clothes for you, but you're older now and you've got your own style. if she's worried dying your hair won't work out, why not offer to pay for it to get done professionally? i know it costs a lot but it means you'll get what you want. don't get too angry, try not to raise your voice, the more mature you act the more she will realize that you're mature enough to do these things

    good luck! :)

    If it was my mum I would just talk to her

    All you have to do is remember to remain calm and collected because as soon as you spit the dummy out and start shouting you will just remind her that you are indeed a child and too young to do things like pick your own clothes and dye your hair.

    Maybe approach the subject by being clever, catch her in a good mood and ask her what she was like at your age, ask to see photos, show an interest, then tell her that she's a great mum...wait a few hours and then ask nicely if you can maybe have a few colours out in your hair, or just ask for a bit of freedom when it comes to picking your own clothes? Hope this helped

    Your mom is very particular about your appearance, and there's nothing wrong with that. You can't always have your own way in life. If you want your mom to know that you're upset with her decisions, tell her. However, she's still in charge.

    thats easy. Just don't talk to her for a while. Show no interest in whichever she is talking about or asking u to do. She will know when u re upset when you don't talk to her and you ignore everything.

    I would say talk to her calmly

    and explain to her how you feel.

    and if she still gets pissed.

    maybe try and give her the silent treatment ((:

    other wish maybe try and live with someone else.

    Tell her it's better you do this now than when you are trying to get a real job.

    tell her why you are upset -- state the facts of the situation - no abusive words, no curses -- tell her in plain language eg I am angry because I do not like what you say about my dressing etc ...
