Parents, what age is a good age to let your teen go to the mall without an adult(with friends)?

My mom let me when I was 14 but she was in the mall too just never around us and then when I turned 15 she let me go without her having to be in the mall at all.

It depends on how strict your parents are. I'm 15 and I started going to the mall alone, when I was 13. Most all my friends were able to go alone at that age to. But one of my friends have very strict parents and she is still not aloud to go to the mall with out an adult. If your 14 then I think thats a fine age to start going alone.

Well I have a daughter that is 13 and I am dreading the day she asks me to go to the mall with her friends. I think maybe when she is 14 and in the 8th grade. She has a good head on her shoulders but I think another year she will be wiser. So I think if you're a good kid, don't give mom and dad a hard time and they can trust you to make good judgment then they should allow to go and have fun.

I think 14 is a perfectly fine age. I'm not a parent either, but my parents started letting me go to the mall by myself with friends when I was about your age. However, I think it largely depends on the size of the mall. The mall in my town is quite small, and so my parents weren't particularly worried at all. However, my cousin lives in a much bigger city, and her mall is huge. Her parents wouldn't let her go to the mall by herself (with friends) until she was about 16.

If you want, just talk to your parents reasonably about it. You know if you parents are strict or not, and what their concerns may or may not be. If you're a generally responsible person, remind them of that. If they express concerns, listen to what they have to say, and don't just brush it off or complain. Just talk to your parents like a mature, responsible person, and see what they have to say. Unless they are pretty strict, or your mall is extremely large, I don't see why they wouldn't let you and friends go to the mall by yourselves starting now or very soon.

I'd say 14 is a good age to go to the mall with friends. My parents started letting me go with my best friend when I was 14 although since my mom had to drive us she would usually hang out in the Starbucks across the street until we were ready to go home.

This may sound young but I would say 12. One of your parents should take you to the mall and get you home. That way your parents know where you are. To go to the city I would say 15.

I am not a parent,I am a teen girl.

I've been able to for as long as I can remember I had an actual social life.

I'd say i was around 6th grade.

Your age is a good age, almost everyone I knew was going to the mall by themselves at 14 but it's different for everyone. Just tell her what you told us! c:

My mom let me start doing that at about 13 or 14. I went with my sister and one of us had a phone.

14.

Yeahh, my mom started letting me go when I was 12 or 13. Just as long as you stay with your friends and know how to protect yourself, I think ur fine
