I like to write, listen to music, and play the drums. I signed up for this website to help people out. I'm obviously not a trained shrink, but if you ask me something, I'll try my best to help things become clearer for you. Being empathetic is one of my biggest qualities. I mostly answer questions that deal with emotional stuff, hence my top 3 topics, but i'll try my best with other stuff.

i'd talk to your mom and try explaining to her that you're willing to make new friends if she doesn't approve of your old friends. and just in general, try to be as compromising as you can with what she may have issues with. but tell her that being grounded this long has really cut you off from a lot of things you could've experienced and that its really starting to affect you negatively. plus, with school starting, she should realize that she's taking you away from a lot of the fun, social gatherings that high school offers. hope this works, or hope you figure something out.
