You grow up. You're going to have these problems with your mom until you move out. It's just how life works.

In situations like EG's, she has a good deal going. I only lie to my parents if it's absolutely necessary (such as when I was hiding my relationship from..everyone ever..). That was a stupid decision, ultimately, because when I came out, nobody cared and everyone knew. And now, I have someone to talk to.

Your parents are smarter than you think. Just be a good kid because being "bad-ass" is only going to be cool until you get to college. Then you're just an asshole.

Have you ever considered the fact that maybe your mom is just concerned about your safety? That you could easily get hurt going places with an 18 year old in his car? That maybe she's just trying to help you? To protect you?

This reminded me of an episode of Full House, where the girl was under the same pressure, only she didn't go with her best friend and the older boy. Her friend and the boy ended up getting in a car accident and getting seriously injured, because they were trying to "have fun" and were speeding. Does this say [/i]anything[/i] to you?

Stop lying and accept the consequences.

I stopped lying to my mom when I was ten years old. She caught me on a lie, about why my homework wasn't being finished. Then she embarrassed me to the point of tears in front of my sister and her friends, by making me read a peice of paper she typed, listing all the things I had lied to her about, out loud. And at the bottom of that paper it said "I promise to never lie to my mom again, signed..." And I signed my name and ran to my room crying my eyes out.

I am so thankful that my mom made me do that. I have never lied to her since, for the sake of having fun or for any reason at all. And now she trusts me completely. She buys me things I don't even ask for. She pays for ALL of my needs. She lets me use her car whenever I want to. So, I missed out on a social life. Big deal. I'd rather lose out on something as trivial as having fun, than my mother's genuine trust.

It's pathetic that teenage girls fail to see the importance and value of trust such as that. Be a good honest kid when you're young, because once you're older the rewards are phenomenal.

In short: Grow Up.

I think you need to tell her the truth, and accept the consequenses becuz it's your own fault.


I'm confused... about life. and life hates me.

Shade was pointing out that the obviouse over exaggeration and difficult to beleive threads make it easy for us to assume that you are lying.


Sleep now, and rest your head, in the morning you'll be dead, no don't cry, please don't dread, cause life is only one path we tread.

I suggest that you are honest and accept the consequences of your actions. Lies usually lead to more and bigger lies. It is natural for mothers to be worrisome. You say that she doesn't tell you not to go some place or not to do something, well don't give her reasons not to trust you. If she catches you in a lie you will probably lose those privileges too. If this is the biggest of your problems, than you are a lucky kid.
