Search Results: he''s upset about this website

So I have a small dilemma thats been causing a bit of upset and frustration for two people who care for me. Situation for my whole short life I've been made to be weary of things that can happen, Im always thinking of things and cautious of what i do. Anyway but now that I'm older I've started doing more things, one of which includes walking alone down to the bridge where there are sometimes campers, like maybe 4, and nothing bad has ever happened there. So I was telling my mother about the my take I did recently regarding the rubbish there and she became extremely upset that I not only went alone but also talked to the people there. Now my boyfriend on the other hand sees nothing wrong with it and says she's being over protective.
Ok so here is the two thoughts of them both and please vote which you believe is more... um... to listen to... i feel like there are going to be a lot of both. Which is the problem because I agree with both but can't do both. Ps, this situation also applies to many other similar ones.

(Don't go) Mother says - its dangerous, only needs to happen once, can be a man or woman, it does happen, people disappear, get raped, get killed, why are you putting yourself at risk.

(Just go) Boyfriend says - she's being over protective, you can look after yourself, thous things very rarely happen, you can't just not do thing just incase something goes wrong, can't be caged forever.

(Both... dam I can't split in two) I say - Yes I understand and get what you both mean!!! So ok I'll go do things cautiously like I always do oh thats right I'm not allowed to, ok I won't... F but that means I not doing things.

... haha first time i have actually used this website for other peoples opinions because i don't know my own.
