You know... just being younger so that "we can understand what you're going through" isn't going to make you happy.
I remember being a teenager. I remember thinking my mom was unreasonable for not letting me wear make up (she was right... it looked too much in all the pictures) or not letting me date (she was right about that too... dating at 13 is jumping the gun a little).
Maybe you could do group events with friends AND guys instead of dating? Or make a group of people whose parents wouldn't mind helping to host movie nights or game nights so that they can get to know some of the people you're hanging around with too? My parents were strict. I had to be going someplace public WITH an adult or at a friend's house where they had met the parents. I ALSO had a 9 pm curfew as a senior in high school.
Have you asked your mom what kind of compromise she'd be willing to give on makeup? You said you can wear lip gloss, but want eyeliner? Sorry... eyeliner to me just makes girls as young as you are look trampy! I can't blame your mom here! BUT... maybe you can make a deal with her that if you have a special event, like a dance, you can wear eyeliner and she can decide then how it looks? What reasons has your mom given for NOT letting you wear it?
I think your attitude stinks, by the way. Just because we're not currently your age doesn't mean we don't remember what it was like.
PS... my daughter is 14, and she gets eye makeup for special occasions only. She can wear lip gloss any time, and has her ears pierced 3 times in each ear, BUT the line is drawn at eye makeup for every day.
