im so pissed, yesterday my mom said i couldn't go to my friends so i was mad but not as mad as i am today. so i asked again today if i could go over to her house and she said no again. this time i asked for a reason and she said its cause im not following the rules her boyfriend just made. well they are stupid rules.my mom never pays attention to me anyways so why would she want me here. so i am thinking about walking to my friends house since it is only at the front of the neighborhood. would that be counted as running away or something like that? and yes i have walked to my friends house before i did like every other day during summer. should i walk to my friends house? i have a cell fone and stuff so she could call me when she actually sees im not there. im 13 almost 14 if that matters any.

she just started having rules like a week ago i have followed them long enough. a week is way to long to be following rules anyway.

She is the MOM, she is the ADULT, she gets to make the rules! When you are all grown up you will get to make your own rules. Until then stop acting like a baby. As far as the "she can call me if she sees i'm not there".... she is your MOM, she has every right to know where you are every second of every day, that is her job as your mother!

Yes, it is considered running away if you secretly leave the house when your mother said you can't. What kind of rules are they that you don't think you need to follow them everyday? Are they completely outrageous? Or do you just not want to have rules? Everyone needs to follow rules, including adults. There are consequences for breaking them (such as being arrested or fired from a job as an adult). People can't just do whatever they want. If you feel these rules aren't fair you should speak with your mom about them. At a time when your mom isn't busy ask to talk to her privately. Then, calmly explain your feelings. Don't get upset and angry or put blame on her. She will just become defensive and angry. You won't accomplish anything. Try to back up your thoughts with facts and suggestions for positive change. Running away and doing things your mother forbids will only make her mad and not able to trust you. In order to gain more freedom you need to be reasonable and responsible. Being a teenager is tough. Most of them feel that they aren't wanted at your age. I'm sure your mother loves you. You should tell her you feel left out, too. Again, make sure not to blame her. Try telling her you would like to spend more time with her. Also, if you help out more around the house your mom will have more free time so she may be more willing and able to hang out with you.

The boyfriend thing kinda sounds stupid. I kinda have similar problems like you do, but you know your mom better than we do so I think that choice is up to you b/c you'll know how she might react we wont. If you need me you can email me, just click on my pic, and find my email address if you need to. Good luck!

You're pissed because your mom is enforcing rules in her own house? Grow up and deal with it. She said no.

Sit down with your mom and tell her how you feel(calmly)and put your case..it would be better to go with her approval then to go without her permission. good luck
