as long as you live at home your parents will always see you as a child and in some respects that is thier right. If it is really so bad then have a sit down discussion and lay it all out for them, but do it without anger and meaness or you will get nowhere. You will not get everything you want but hopefully you should get some sort of comprimise. Also your mother may be in denial that her little kid is now growing up. it will take a lot of patience but if there is love you all should be able to work it out

First of all, if you feel you may do something you may regret..You need help, go see your family Dr and let him/her know exactly what you are feeling.
If you are 18, do you have a job? Perhaps the best answer for you would be to move out and get your own place.. Who pays your phone bill? MOM?? then she has a right to take you phone away. YOU pay?? Then she does not have a right. She needs to understand that you are an adult. However, if you are living under her roof, then she has all say. The only way out of this is either try to sit her down and try to communicate to her face to face or get out. GOOD LUCK

Your 18 !!! If you want to be treated like an adult you need to act like one. Get a job so you can pay for your own phone, then she cant take it away. And what are you doing spending money on prom? You should be saving every pennie to get your own place the day you graduate. Dont get me wrong. Proms are always fun, but your an adult now and you need to make adult decisions!!!

You will always be your mom"s baby. She may be a bit stressed out also. One day just sit and have a talk with her. Tell her that you do not know what it is, but here lately, it seems that she is on to you for every little thing, ask her is she alright? and that you, just want to be able to get along better with her, say, what can I do? Say mom, I love you, and I want to just have fun with you, and enjoy our time together, so can we try?

Talk to your mom.Let her know that you love her, but you also need your space as an adult. She is probably upset that her baby is grown up now. Take her out on a "date" every now and then to let her know you still need her. Both my husband and his brother do their mom that way from time to time, and she loves it.
BTW, does she pay for your cell phone? If so, then she has every right to take it away. If not, there are problems.

Well.. you know the old addage.. My house my rules!!
Unfortunately, if you are dependant on your mom for a place to live.. you are kinda stuck in the situation. You could try sitting down and taliking to her and finding some common ground..
Hopefully you two can find a way to make it work.. she is the only mom you have..

Since you've just turned 18, you're FEELING your independence.
You're simply not PAYING for your independence. Either you abide by mom's rule, or you move out. Are you able to do that and support yourself?
