I know what you are going through. My mother use to be the same. Her many prejudices which I inherited, ruined my life. I could never accept love because nobody was ever good enough for me. Here I am, 58 and still looking for that perfect mate. If you want to be lonely and unhappy, then do nothing. But, if you want to love and be loved, I think that you should recieve professional help now. Why don't you discuss your situation with a mental health counsellor at your school?

It's your life, live it how you want to. You're mom had 18 years to impose whatever values she wante don you, and now it's your turn to think and do things for yourself. She'll just have to learn to respect your decisions and trust that you're a good person.

You're nine-teen. She can fucking deal with it.

Wow.. I guess this is a tough one. The only good thing is that, you are already an adult, so things are a little bit more on your favor. Do you go to college and come back home every day, or are you in a dorm? Are your friends normal looking? or are they the freak, gothic, 100 face piercing type, clothes hanging below their butt, and dragging 1/2 pants on the floor? I would not allow my kids to have these types of friends. Their looks close the doors for everything. If you work, can you get a couple room mates and get an apartment? and get a student loan and pay after graduation? Sounds you are the ideal daughter / son. However, you are still young. Have you thought of joining the military, and then continue your college education? this can help you get out of your house. I hope my children get to be like you when they reach your age. What better reward for a parent that your child goes to college (at least you didn't think of working in McDonald's for the rest of your life right after H.S.), works, and mainly don't do drugs or drink. Have you asked your Mom what else does she want from you? you are on the right path in life, and sounds to be the ideal daughter / son. You are showing all signs of respect, and she should respect you back by letting you have friends. Again, I hope your friends are like you, and make your Mom have a second thought. At your age, you should be able to know that your Mom is just manipulating you with worst case scenarios.

that's a tough life but it's yours your not geting any younger she can deal with it if i was u and my mother treated me like that i'll just wait until she gets old then i'll do the same!! well really it's all on the love

Once you move out you can live life the way you want it.

You need to stick up for yourself and tell mommy to get a grip. Our parents can not choose our friends. You seem like a decent enough person to know the diffrence between right and wrong. Drinking is ok if you are 21 and responsible drugs are not ok. NEVER. You need to learn for yourself what is good for you and what is not. Our parents can not teach us everything sometimes we need to learn to see things for ourselves. IF your friends are not so good you will figure it out. Its just another way for her to control your life. She sounds like a control freak
