Why do I have to put sunscreen on my mom forces me to use it?
I'm 14 and started grade 9. Last friday of school and it was one of the school wide fieldtrips for our garde so we went to the waterslides for the whole day we got a form like a week before we went. i had to wake up real early on friday morning at 6;30 cuz the bus leaves early i was real tired and my mom told me to come into her room and there was this huge bottle of sunscreen on her dresser and she told me to take off my shirt so i did then she got the sunscreen and put it on my face then i had to stick out each arm for her to lather then all the way down to my feet and it took at leest 5 minutes and she put on way to much u can see it on my arms and legs still and i looked like a snowman. i told i could do it myself but shes just like thats my job i could easily do it myself but she said shes gona do it for me until im SIXTEEN. i dont have any siblings my mom is a long fitness insturctor and beauty consultant person so also and she always puts cream on her face before she goes to bed then calls me in to her room and she puts it on my face too and it gets annoying cuz thats for girls only.
its so emberasing on the bus everyone else in my class had sunscreen on to but they all put it on themselves or said they do themselves and im the only 1 who my mom does it for me but i also said i do it myself…Y is my mom the only one like this when everyone else in my class does it themself and i have to wait untl im 16? i want to know from parents that im too old for her doing that to me?
my mom says ther is skin cancer in our family her sister died of it but i can stil do it myself…im the only 1 its not fair
and no every1 in my class already had it on no1 put it on when we got to the watersliders everyone smelld like sunscreen and every1 looked shiny when we all met at the class to go on the bus. no other mom dose this! (I live in Australia BTW

Best Answer – Chosen by Voters Your mum loves you to pieces and she is worried that she could lose you the same way as she lost her sister. If she was as close to her sister as I am to mine then this would have been a devestating loss for her. She is just making sure you have enough on for you to have full protection from the sun. It only takes one episode of sun burn at a young age, to trigger cancer cells at an older age.I know it feels unfair when all of your friends are doing the same thing ans you feel like you are the only one. Can't you just tell a while lie at school? Half the pther kids are probably telling fibs too.Why don't next time, you put the suncream on yourself but in your mum's room so that she knows you are putting in on properly. She will trust you next time if you in the future when you do it on your own.
You are lucky to have such a caring mom. I know it feels embarrassing, but she is worried about skin cancer. It makes her happy to know that she is doing the best she can to protect you, so try not to be too hard on her. She can also reach bits that you can't. Why not come to a compromise and show her that you can put most of the sunscreen on yourself and then get her to do the bits you can't reach. If she sees that you are able and willing to do it, she might ease up a bit.
If your mom's sister died of skin cancer, it's natural for her to have heightened fears of skin cancer for her child. However, IMO, you're old enough to put it on yourself.Perhaps a compromise would work for her. Talk to her, tell her your side of the story, but don't get upset. Speak like a calm and explain your situation. Ask if she'll let you put the sunscreen on with her supervising to make sure you don't miss any spots. Eventually, when she sees that you're capable of doing it yourself, she'll trust you to handle it on your own. Hopefully she will be open to listening. The key is to remain calm and handle the conversation maturely.Best of luck!
sit down with her, in a good mood, and say that you would like to take responsibility for these things yourself. if u must then let her check uve covered properly and once she starts to trust you do it properly she may leave u do it urself. il admit it sounds like she babies u a bit but she loves u and just doesnt want u to get sunburnt, or cancer. also it keeps u looking young and ul get less wrinkles if u wear it everyday! say to people on the bus that it works better if u put it on early and u dont want to have bright red burnt skin cos its really sore and horrible. she needs to cut the apron strings but dont be too hard on her 14 is younger then u think. believe me, when iwas 14 (ten years ago, oh god i feel old) i thought i was all mature and stuff, but i was an idiot. but yea, talk to her and tell her u want to be a bit more independant. and say u want to put ur own moisturiser on…u can get mens moisturiser if u want to use that.and as someone else said, ur probably not the only one. and u live in australia so u need to wear it all the time.
Well, I am sure you arent the only one that had a parent put on sun screen. I bet there are other people that lied about it too, just the same as you did. Although I will say, even as an , I need help getting it on back and everything.Also, you said putting it on your face is for girls only. NOT true. Just because you are a male doesnt mean you are somehow immune to skin cancer on your face.
Because if you DON:T use it you are likely to have skin cancer before you are 30.Skin cancer is more deadly that lung cancer!. If you get skin cancer, you might die very quickly.Just how stupid is that, to know that you might die before you are 40, because you just didn't want to listen to what you mother says now?.USE THE SUN SCREEN — ALWAYS.
