petition for my mom to let me use pinterest

The Issue

just a bit of background info, i'm a teenager who used to frequently use pinterest for many purposes including inspiration, finding 'aesthetic' photos and wallpapers, finding memes/relatable content, and more. earlier this year, my mom took my phone as i was 'being disrespectful' and she went through many of my apps including messages, pinterest, etc. when i got home from school i found out that she found one of my online friends on pinterest, who was another girl my age (claiming to be at least) and we didn't really share much, only our first names and ages, and we sometimes sent pins or gave each other shoutouts. she said that i broke her rule (the rule was never clear, mostly implied/vague words) and she took away pinterest. she had taken it previously but i forgot why. anyways, i explained to her that it was highly unlikely this 'girl' was lying to me about who she was or trying to groom me. however, she said that wasn't the point and that the point was that i broke the rules. (we have had a few issues recently as well because i posted edits and videos with my name and age in the account, my age was in my description which few people read, but she got mad, even though i didn't show my face or voice, and she also got mad at me for commenting on a video saying that i went to the same target as someone, as well as my name, age and strawpage being in my discord bio, even though i use it to message school friends)

anyway, back to the point, i believe it's unfair to ban me from using pinterest, as it's one of the safest social media platforms, especially because i'm a pretty intelligent teenager (or so i've been told) and even she agrees I usually have pretty good judgement, so please help me convince her (praying she'll say yes and not disown me for sharing this on a public site)
