Arg....I need some advice, badly ~Lucy Ricardo~   Author:  39370  Category:(General Advice) Created:(4/3/2004 8:25:00 PM) This post has been Viewed (628 times) Hello everyone. I normally dont make post about venting and/or needing advice, but this is something that has been going on for a while now, and I couldnt think of anyone else to ask. So, heres the deal. I homeschool, live out in the country away from everyone/thing, so I only have one friend. Well, on the rare occasion that we do actually get to see each other, it always has to be over at my house, or something my parents planned. And, thats starting to tick her mom off. I know that every teen says "my parents dont let me do anything", but I'm convinced that my mom is literally a control freak. Me and Lena (my friend) have been best friend for 12 years almost. She's spent the night at my house like over 100 times, but Ive only been over to her house twice...in twevele years. She's been on vacation with us out of state, gone to the mall, movies, etc with us. Ive never done ANY of that with her family. Ive been invited several times to go on short trips with them, but everytime something like that comes up, my mom says no and makes me give them some stupid excuse. And now, Lenas mom is really starting to take offence and is getting the attitude "Well, if you wont let your daughter do things with us, then we arent going to let our daughter do things with you". I'm gonna be 16 this month, and my mom still treats me like I'm 4 years old...honestly. She's always saying she trust me, but I'm starting to think other wise. I know probably the two things most of you are thinking are "well, there is probably something going on over there that she knows about taht you dont". Thats not true at all, you'll have to take my word on this one. I basically know everything that goes on in that house and theres nothing 'bad'. Second thing you all might be thinking is "Well, just talk to her. She loves you, she'll listen". I've tried talking to her countless times, and I get the same answres every time "It's not you I dont trust, its other people." or "we'll talk about it later". Is there anything I can do about this? Because my mother worries so much and doesnt let me do anything for myself I'm starting to lose my best and only friend. Is there anything I can do, or am I basically just going to have to be friendless till I'm 18? *sigh* thanks for listening...Ive been needing to get this off my chest Love, Lucy You can join Unsolved Mysteries and post your own mysteries or interesting stories for the world to read and respond to Click here Scroll all the way down to read replies.
