because I didn't tell her. I don't think its unfair to punish me for something so small. What do you think?

It depends on how big the punishment is...Maybe explain to her you didnt tell her you were calling a boy because you were worried how she'd react, and that you aren't 'doing' anything with him (because I assume you're not). Then perhaps she will take off the punishment. But it does seem odd that she punished you for calling a boy (unless you were having an innapropriate converstaion and she heard..lol). Just explain to her you think its unfair, but calmly- maybe write her a not or plan out your discusssion beforehand. And if she still refuses, next time maybe call him from a cell phone or pay phone or when she's out.
good luck
(but maybe clarify your question more, so the responses will be better)

I think what ur mom did was right, but she should have talked to you about it first. You should tell your mom that you are sorry. She had a right to punish you about that, but she also should explain to you why what you did was wrong. It's not that small. She's probably just looking out for you. Some people who do this at an early age end up being in a lot of trouble later.

Try being more open with your mom.
Moms need the feeling they are a part of your life.
Not that they want to rule your life, they want to stand by you with advise.
Dont forget Moms have been there, done that and know what can happen.
Try talking to her about her youth years.
How it was for her with first boy friends.
Ask her what her mother thought about the subject.
Tell her you would like to be able to talk to her about things, like a call to a boy.
If you give your mom the feeling that you are trusting her with your feeling and thoughts, then she will know you better and start trusting you more.
And maybe one day you can call a boy while shes sitting next to giving hints.
Its works in our house - try it.

READ the ? people she only called him. You're mom is wrong. If she shelters you from boys too much it leads to even more wonder about them. I am studying psychology and the more you hide something from someone the more the are going to investigate. She she show you that she trusts you a little bit. since you're 14 i think you should be able to talk to someone without people judging

You have what is known as over-protective parents......lol Which means they want to trust you and they might but they still want to know everything that goes on in your life. I personally think you are old enough to call anybody. Your 14 not 9. They should start treating you like a teenager and less like a prisoner.......lol

You have been held accountable for something you knew that was against your Mom's rules. She is holding you responsible for what you knew was wrong. Punishment is the consequence.
Yes, you should be punished and YOU should hold YOURSELF accountable for your decision. You were FULLY responsible for your decision. . . no one else forced you to disobey.
Learn from your mistake. . . follow the rules. Life is so much simpler then. You don't have to lie when you live the truth.

If all you did was call him, then yes, it is unfair. It's just a phonecall. But a punishment is fair if you hooked up with him.

Kids must live by their parents rules, even if you dont like them. Sorry but you must play by those rules or get in trouble
