So I miss out with my friends. I don't know why my mum doesn't let me. Because I'm 18 and when I was younger I was allowed to ride on the roads overseas. I know to obey road rules/signs and I've also been reading highway codes.
Anyway to convince her most of my route to college are parks anyway with a couple of roads. The only two reasons I can think of is:
1. Because I fell off my bike when I was younger
2. Because bikes get stolen quite often In my area
3. Because of the traffic and lots of buses.
She lets my brother ride his bike to Uni. But not me to college. How can I convince her? (because I can't just do it without her knowing because she'll find out)
Here's what you do:
When you want to ride your bike, just do it. If she complains, ignore her. If she tries to block your way, push past her.
Don't be afraid of her finding out. You're not ten, you're an eighteen year old and need to act like it.
Being under the thumb of your mother this way at your age is totally inappropriate and harmful, and to be honest, creepy. It's already very weird and you need to put a stop to it before you get any older or you're going to end up like Norman Bates.
