Ok, so my problem is that my mom is very strict... I cant hang out with my friends (I've only got to 2 times luckily) and I cant even choose what hair style I want because she thinks "it'll change me for ever"I always nicely discuss rules with her, but she always just tones me done and gets pissed.. :( Most of my days, im stuck in the house especially on weekends because my mom belives being by yourself is the best. She also doesnt like my friends, like for instance I have a friend named Cory, and one time we were hanging out and cory's friend comes along and brings a FAKE looking gun to show.My mom saw it and got pissed and thought Cory brought it... even though his friend admitted to her HE brought it. So nowadays she thinks Cory is a gangster even though he's a regular straight A student. So anywho how do I talk about things with a mom who's taking away my teenager years? :(

I feel for you. You didn't mention your age.Continue to be respectful to your Mom even though it is very hard. I grew up in a strict household. I got to double date at 15 instead of 16 because I was "snoopervizing "my older sisters.When I got to date alone, my parents followed. I we went to the A&W, there they were. If we went to the movies, there they were walking up and down the aisles. My boyfriend was a good sport about it because he loved me so much. Oh, the prom, I got go ,but had to be home at 11:00.i STAYED HOME ALOT.It sucked, so I understand. I'm 55 now and just getting into going out and doing things, they really scarred me.I just wanted to let you know that their strictness is survivable and I empathise with you. Hang in there.Grandma.

sorry to hear it...is she a single mom? this might be the reason that she is so overprotective. She doesn't want her baby to head into the wrong path. she wants you to be successful and have a "normal" life. sorry about you not being able to talk to her. I was going to suggest sitting down with her and trying to reason with your mother, but she doesn;t seem to WANT to listen to you. Maybe write to her or write a "diary" excerpt that she can "accidentally bump into and read. something that expresses how you truly feel. make it sincere and make a list of things that you wish could change about your relationship with her. good luck and God Bless.

A fake gun??? Who are these people you're hanging out with??
It sounds like your mum is protecting you. She wants to make sure her little girl isn't going to go out and get drunk, get pregnant, join a gang, do drugs...etc... You should respect your mum's rules as long as you're living in her house. I wish I had listened to my mum more. When you grow up you realise that there was a lot of wisdom in those annoying rules....
