I have a best friend, and I think he likes me, but that's a whole different story. Well, my mom doesn't like him calling me because she doesn't believe we're "just friends". We are just friends, we're not going out. But since we don't see eachother till school starts, we've been talking on the phone more often. She has lied to him (and me) telling him that I'm not home, when I really am. And I get very upset. He, of course, notices it and it's so humiliating for me. I dont want him to stop calling because of her, because we're best friends and that wouldn't be fair. She always gets some excuse to use the phone while I'm talking to him, or she screams and yells at me, and he knows we're arguing about him. But how can I get my mom to undersand that we CAN be just friends if we want to? I don't want my friend to feel bad, but I've noticed that he does...what should I do about this situation?

It looks like you mom needs to stop being so over-protective And just for the record girly I know the whole "just friends I swear!" thing so yeah you're not fooling anyone but that's okay. Well anyways... Try telling your mom to stop being so over protective and that if you want to talk to this guy explain the situation to her and as her why she does not like him without yelling she'll understand I'm sure (i no because hunn I've been there before with my boyfriend Joe we were "best best friends" for the longest time - closer then peanut better an' jelly and the only thing that we didn't tell each other was that we both had a secret crush on each other. But I'm sure that you're mom will understand and if all else fails hey there's only about a month till school starts but I'm sure she'll understand!! keep me updated and let me no how it goes!!

well it all depends on how old u are but if your 13 and the only way u are able to talk to him is on the phone than I think that your
mom is being pretty unfair, it's not like u guys are dating and I think that u need to sit down and explain the situation and let her know exactly how u feel but do it in a respectful manner without all the yelling because arguing won't get u no where. I mean it's not like she's gonna be able to keep u guys away from each other
at school. so ask your mom what her problem is with him and get down to the source of the problem and try to work through it and it will all work out for the best.

Sounds like your mom needs to grow up a little. You have a mind of your own. Try maybe getting an apt with your best friend to help you out. Otherwise, if you are a minor, as much as I hate to say it, you will probably have to abide by mommys wishes.. I feel ya.. Im sorry you have to deal with this, but theres really no other way, unless you move out. Good Luck, KID!!

Confront your mom and tell her that you are just friends.If that doesn't work then tell her that you have nobody else which is kind of true because he is your best friend.Maybe that will help her.Have you told your friend the situation? Maybe he will understand more.

Did you already asked to your Mather why she doesn't´t like him?
Try understand her reason and explain yours, I´m sure that if you and your Mather have a little chat, without screams and yells, your Mather can understand you and can to accept your friend.

mmmm explain your just friends and tell her its better he call you than you calling him that would make it seem like you "after him"
pray ...for wisdom and understanding ....if your mom is on the phone interupt her like she does you reverse sychology

How old are you? Just tell your mother that he is your friend, the special he is for you. And that you are only friends.
Tell your mother it's your life
GOOD LUCK

i dunno. i know wut its like, my mom was the same way. just try calmly explaining the situation to, say " mom, ____ and i really are just friends. we are very good friends, and if u dont believe me, then too bad for u. stop lying to ____ and i get over it ( or something like that, w/e) when u lie to him its very embarassing to me, and it makes him feel bad. dont u see that? ( and then just add on wutever else, i dunno its a start, good luck)
