my mom doesn't let me do anything with kids who she thinks "aren't good". take one of my old friedns who my mom calls "messed up" just because shes had a rough childhood. she prevents me from hanging out with them or even living life! what can i do?!

HAH that sounds REALLY familiar...
its basically impossible to get my mom to like them ((even when she's met them)). but i just find a loophole & hang out w/ them at school & in groups out of school...

Well, Lindsy420 my mother is the same way, she doesn't want me to hang out with some of my friends that she think are "BAD PEOPLE". I did something about it let your mom actually met your friends invite them for dinner and let her see the real them. I thought my mother was so called over protective, but she isn't she knows what the world is all about and she protecting you from the ones she dosen't know. Yes, i do believe your mom should give you a little freedom but not all at once, a little bit at a time. You also have to earn that freedom that you seek. So try doing what i said invite them to dinner let your mom know that if she keeps pushing you away that one day in your life you will REBELL against her rules in her. Just sit down with her in tell her that because she doesn't except your friends then she doesn't except you. Because there's a reason that their you friends, their your friends because you have many of things in common and most have a lot of the same values in life. So just tell her how you feel.

Have a talk with your mom. If she doesn't actually know the kid, tell her that it's not fair she's assuming.

Its imp to win the trust of ur parents . just try to get ur friends to meet your mom .

In a way, I know how that goes. My mom is really protective. Just a piece of advice tho: Don't lie and go behind your mom's back and hang out with the friends she doesn't like...it doesn't end up too good in the end if she finds out. The only thing that you can do is talk to your mom. Maybe ask her if you can invite your friend over for supper sometime so that way she can get to know your friends the way that you do. Maybe then she'll see that they aren't as bad as she thinks they are
