Question by jamange: How can i convince my mom to let me go camping with my associates alone? I am Nearly 16?
I have a geography coursework piece that needs me to go out camping. I do not actually want my mom to be with me but she just wont let me go alone. It would be too embarrassing to let her come along so how can i convince her that she really should let me go? There are 5 sensible 15 year old boys going by the way.

You should do what you’re told two do. Listen to your parents.

Question by Alexander Dubinski: Where in IL can I go camping and be extremely far from civilization and other persons?
I want to go on a remote camping trip but can’t locate a very good spot.
I am hunting for somewhere where I can park a automobile then walk a distance and set up camp without having any one else about.
Any ideas are substantially appreciated!
Thanks.

Looks like the most significant region you’ve got is Shawnee National Forest. You can typically camp anyplace in national forests.

Are you all boys? I think patiently finding out what her concerns are, and addressing them in a serious way. Try to understand why that might worry her, and then give her your reasons why you think it’ll be ok.
If you manage to talk your mom into it, she’s not so good a mom. While I completely understand how you feel, you may try to understand how she feels. You are a young man, her boy, and she wants to make sure you are safe. Do any of your friends have an older brother who could maybe chaperon? If some supervision is there, maybe you will get your way. Good luck.
that will be very difficult you are still young. have you got an uncle cousin or anyone to go with you if not sneak off with your mum without telling anyone. Its very hard for moms its not they don’t trust you they don’t trust outside influences.
I like the older brother or even a father or uncle to chaperon. I am a mom and I think it is the weirdo’s out there that concern me not my kids… If it was a different time it wouldn’t worry me so much. Do you attend church? If so maybe there is an older boy in the youth program you could ask to go along with you. Good luck.
Your mums got a hard time trying to find the balance between doing what you want/need to do and what she as a mother wants you to do. If its for your work then oviously it is very important you get this done. Get your teacher to write a letter to your mum explaining the situation if they have not already done so and then get the parents of the other boys to write letters promising that they will be sensible and not do drugs or anything like that. If your mum still wont let you go then tell her that she needs to give you a break and that you need independance, after all, theres not that much longer for you to go before you get out into the real world and she cant live with you then. She needs to start letting go.
Bring mom along, but ask her if she can pitch up her tent a few sites away, that way, she’s not in your hair, but she feels close enough to you to help you should you need anything.
Also, tell her, in a serious tone, that you are all responsible and have never gotten into any real trouble, and that you would like to use this opportunity to show her you can be responsible.
It will be a difficult battle, but just be sure to keep your cool, and don’t yell or scream at her, as she will be less inclined to let you go.
From Illinois drive west until you hit S.Dakota. Then stop.
Alaska.
The Shawnee National Forest in southern Illinois is the only place I can think of. Illinois isn’t exactly a “wilderness” state. I would consider northern Wisconsin if you are looking for the nearest place to find some real wilderness.
