My mum wants me to stop youtube.

I will just throw in my two cents. There is obviously a reason she doesn't want you to be on the internet. I doubt she is just saying no to ruin your life (even though it can feel like that). I know for my mom personally, she had (and still does!) feel very uncomfortable about having all her kids online in a YouTube series. My younger sister is only 13 and has thousands of people watching her every day, following her on Instagram, tweeting her, etc. And that is really scary for a Mom. She constantly sits down with her to checks her phone and see what she is posting, I am always having to delete some really nasty comments that trolls just leave on our channel (sometimes directed at her!) that I wouldn't ever want her to read. People are MEAN and the internet is a really scary place. Especially if you channel starts to get bigger. If you love making videos, I would just ask if you can keep doing that on your own (without posting them online) and just keep getting better. I was making videos long before I ever posted them on YouTube just because I loved it and enjoyed showing them off to friends and family. Good luck!

As much as I have been agreeing 99% of what you have been saying, there are some parents that aren't good at what they do in life. My Mother was a control freak and did everything she could to control so much of my brother & I's lives. I rebelled at 16 and pretty much did my own thing staying at friend's houses and such. Now, in her Mother's case, I don't blame her since she is only 14 years old and trying to put herself on the net. I did the same thing starting in 2006 and have been doing it since (With starting my official show earlier this month).

Listen Kira, I understand you want to be a part of the newer generation of YouTubers, but doing it at 14 requires A LOT to be done. You have more to worry about like school and enjoying your life as a kid before you hit 18. I'm 24 right now and wish I could go back in time and enjoy some of the moments that I missed out on because of the Internet, but I have already chosen my path in life (Not saying YouTube was a bad choice). Just live. That's all you can do.

I'm pretty sure that her mother isn't abusive or a bad mother. That's why I am saying what I am saying.

Oh no no no no no. I was not saying her Mother was bad or abusive. That's why I said in my previous statement that what her Mother is doing is right for a 14 year old girl. I was just stating that my Mother wasn't a very easy person to get along with.

Yeah, but the part of you saying "there are some parents that aren't good, etc."
Most parents are good. Youngsters seem to nag and crying about everything when it comes to parents.

Everyone is a bad parent, according to teens today, and I see that way too often, that's why I have an "Shut up and listen to your parents" attitude.
 
Whether your mother is in the right or even if she is wrong the fact of the matter is you are living under her roof rent free. While you are in her house you need to live by her rules. End of.
Have you tried talking to her to ask her why she doesn't want you on YouTube? Either way, she probably has your best interests in mind.

To be fair you don't have tons of views and subs at this stage so it shouldn't be seen as a huge loss. If u had more and were a partner then maybe you have an argument. As it stands you don't as its nothing you can't build back up when you are older.

Sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear.

FINALLY. This, people. THIS IS WHAT SPOILED TEENS DOESN'T UNDERSTAND. Thank you, IftiBashir! :up:
 
I am sure your mom is just concerned, she just wants to protect you and rightfully so! I do not think a 14 year old should have free run of the internet where there are bullies and sources of pressure and who knows what else. Stick to being 14 and worry about making money in a few years time.
 
I think that you should respect your mothers rules and if she insists you must stop then you should do so but I do believe you should be given a reason and not just a flat out no means no type of thing so there's respect both ways. If this was my son or daughter I would at least let them know why I was making such a decision when enforcing it. Just like if they wanted something and I said no, I would give a reason so they're not left wondering why or feeling its unfair etc even if it is unfair and they were to be upset, at least they have the reason and have something to make sense of in their own time.
