my best friend went to jail yesterday, and now my mom doesnt want me to hang out with any of my friends. My family 85% fake and they dont want us to hang out with people that are "lower than them". which i think is a bunch of pigshit. i dont wanna stop hangin with my people cause i know they always got my back. I want to do something so that i can go to jail to make a statement.

You can stay friends with your friends without going to jail. That is only going to ruin your future. Employers, schools, etc...will not be impressed with a criminal record. If you want to make a statement show your family that just because you are friends with people who went to jail doesn't make you any less of a person.

Well I am an old man lol. I picked up on one of the things you mentioned more than the others.
Here is my answer to you. Other answers have a lot for you to look at. But if you are involved with a group where you need someone watching your back then you do need to change friends.
Why do you feel you need someone to watch your back Why?
Well from reading you added comment I will add this.
You left out a lot of info we would need to make a good answer for you.
1. How old are you and how old are you friends?
2. Just what did you friend go to jail for?
3. Where do you live big city or small town.
4. Why do you think you mom and dad are phonies?
5. Are you still in school or are you thinking of dropping out?
See there is a lot you left out of you question so before making smug remarks to some good people how about giving some good info to them ok.

The only statement that you would be making would be that you're not smart. And you'll regret it for the rest of your life and wonder how you could have been so naive and immature. Your family is trying to help you rise above all the drama and bad decisions that are apparently being made by your friends. They're not trying to be snobbish, they're trying to help you have a decent life and not make any irreversible decisions that you can't take back. Whether you realize it or not, it's your family that has your back. Not friends who are out there getting into trouble. Listen to your family, they're the ones who really love you. You'll understand this when you're a little older.

Going to jail to make a statement to your family in an immature tantrum will haunt you for the rest of your life.Your family does have your best interest at heart. Emlpoyers can find find out about a conviction and hold it against you. Many youths get into trouble while acting out against authority- you dont want to be a statistic. Try letting go of your anger and work to be able to forgive those that have done you wrong. Make some new friends that value you for your intellect and not your brawn. I send you love and hope you find your way.

what caused your best friend to go to jail?
I think that it's great that you want to stand behind your friends, but you also have to look at what your family is doing. They are looking out for your best interests. They don't want you to go to jail or end up getting hurt. I really don't think that it's that they don't want you hanging out with people "lower" it just that they want what is best for you.
I don't know how old you are, but just know that the last thing that you want to do is go to jail. It will follow you for the rest of your life, and depending on what you do it won't only hurt your future, but it may also change the future for others. Jail is not the answer. It is not fun, and what are you going to do once you are in there? Please Please Please just stop and think.

OK- don't be THAT rebellious... that will stay on your record for a long time, and it will be expensive- it's not worth it, however, you can still be there to support your friend. You don't have to rub it in your families faces, because they wont change- but just go your own way and be your own person- make your statements quietly, and just try being the best you can- learn how not to act from your family- but they are your family, and they will always be there for you- Your friend might not.

The only statement you'll be making by going to jail is proving your family right!!! My mom is the same way thinks I'd do the same as whet my friends do but to eachhis own. Though I've also learn you are who you surround yourself with!!!! Show and prove your family wrong...keep your friends and do what you think is right.....and going to jail IS NOT RIGHT!!!!!

Want to go to jail to make a statement? Oh that's a mature thing to do. Those type of stupid consequences might hurt you in the future. Didn't you think about that?

when i was younger my parents "tried" to decide who my friends were going to be and i ended up in jail because i refused to listen to them....i'm not telling you to listen to them about who you should hang out with 100% because it's in a teens blood to be rebellious but ask them if they could meet you half way.....try talking to them and explaining that if they tell you what t do all the time it's just going to push you away even more...i completely understand what you mean by "fake" because my parents owned their own business and were always trying to live up to the town's expectations and so i felt like any little thing i did was broad-casted on 5 o'clock news and so i started to hang out elsewhere and then getting in more trouble....the most important thing is communication if that doesn't work (which it should if your parents truly love you) then try getting an outside influence like a teacher or something....parents and teens just need to compromise

going to jail isnt the way to make a point. Making a point is where u stand up for yourself and not putting yourself down. U dnt want to show ur family that u r just lyk the rest of the people in the world but that ur friends are tru freinds and not some victim criminals. Now i dnt kno y ur frend has gone to prison but im sure if u stay with your frend till the end he will realise and ur family will realise that ur group of frends are real mates not enemies. Ur family just want the best for u but u ave to let thm no tht u r old enuff to look after urself and as much as u love them u want to stay with ur frends. Tell ur parents tht u dnt go round judging them and there frends so dnt do it back. My frends mum told him that she didnt want him to be frends with me because i carried a lot of baggage i.e my past just because i was sexually abbused for 5 years of my life but he turned around and told her where to go and its workd out for the best. Dnt swear at your parents and if thy turn around and say "well in my day" just say tht was thn this is now.
Good luck and remember dnt do anything stupid!
