My mom doesn't allow me to hang out with friends outside of school. Help?!
Question: My mom doesn't allow me to hang out with friends outside of school. Help?
I'm pretty sure she thinks that her intentions are right, but I think that prohibiting me from having a social life outside of school is wrong. I'm taking the most rigorous course load available to sophomores (I'm 15) and I have a 4.0 GPA. I do all of my homework, study for the SAT, and read often. Even when I'm done studying, doing homework, and reading, my mom doesn't allow me to hang out with my friends. She finds some excuse to keep me at home (ex: Maybe you should study some more. Help me do the laundry. Go read another book. No you can't have fun with friends. Fun shouldn't even be a part of your vocabulary).
I haven't hung out with my friends in 4 years (no parties, no dances, no movies, etc)! My best friend has her Sweet 16 Birthday party today in three hours and she expects me to come. I've already bought her a present, but my mom is not going to let me go. She'll turn crazy and violent like she always does when I ask her if I could have fun with friends. Help!
Answers:
tell her how hard you have been working, (but do not use the word unfair) and the grades you get are only good if you can have a social life... tell her it is extremely UNHEALTHY to become seperated from the outside world. Good things do not only come from grades, you need social activities also
Can you talk to your dad. Otherwise i would have a talk with your mom, and tell her your going to leave if something isnt changed. shes your bestfriend and your not going to miss it,
Is your dad around? I am assuming he is not considering your moms behavior. i would suggest calling children service. i think your mom is mentally abusing you.
Just go to the party if she is really like that.
Good for her.
