Yes you can.  I realize you have written to me at least three times asking me to intervene somehow and persuade your mom to let you do something  for which she feels you’re too young.  One way to show your mom you are growing up and are more mature is to learn to sit down and calmly discuss your problems with her instead of asking someone else to help.  I don’t mind helping people when I can, but I don’t live in your house, I don’t know the rules, and the fact is that as long as you are under her roof, she makes the rules.
