Question Posted Tuesday July 13 2004, 1:35 am

I have almost no ones instant messaging address. My mom walked in while i was talking to one of my friends online and saw that i only had ten people on my list. Since i had a different s/n last year i didn't bother getting a lot of people's IM, so she sent me to this counsiling group for teens who can't get along with others. I went to the group once and they said that i just don't want to talk to people. Should i stay in the group, or leave, i don't think i belong in there, but should i give it another day?
Please help
Lizzy

You don't belong in that group. Were those friends a mix if online and real life friends? Then tell her. Tell her is not what she this, it's the 21st century.

Hey Lizzy! Talk to her. Explain to her that the people on your buddy list are your close friends. You dont sound antisocial at all. I think you should give it one more day, for your mother. But before you go tell her that you don't believe you should be there and that will be your last day there. Honestly, I think she overreacted. The total best thing to do is talk to her.

if you dont think you belong there, then dont go! just because you dont tlk 2 ppl online doesnt mean that you cant get along with people! plus, no one knows you better than you know yourself, so if you think you have a problem, then go to the group but if you honestly think nothings wrong, then just keep living your life the way you are!! if you think theyr babbeling about stuff that doesnt relate to you, then dont waste your time! x0x0x0x

Hmm...kinda sounds to me like your mom overreacted a bit!I'm sure she was only looking out for your best interests and well-being,but I really don't think this drastic a step needed to be taken!!Just because you keep a smaller circle of friends doesn't mean your unsociable!LoL Sit your mom down and let her know exactly what you said,that since you switched S/N's you just didn't get around to getting ALL of the names added back onto your new S/N,because that's a very common thing!I've done that 2 or 3 times!!You just lose track of some people's S/N's sometimes!!Let her know that your social life is just fine and that most importantly you are HAPPY!And make sure to remind her that your social life isn't restricted to IM!!Also let her know that the group makes you totally uncomfrotable,and you just don't belong there!!!I think it's time to get back to your normal life,minus the group!!!

what harm could be caused by sticking around another day? Afterwhich you should quit if you know you don't belong there.

I think your mom is overeacting just a bit. Your friends are your buisness, plus not everyone has an instant messanger, tell her its your life and if your happy she doesnt need to worry. If you honeslty enjoy the group stay in it, if not drop the hell out. Good Luck.

If the only thing she had to go on was your buddy list, this is really, really funny.

But I'm guessing she was thinking you were anti-social before the incident.

If you really don't think you need the group, drop it if you can. Therapy is useless if you haven't got problems.

XoTruebrunettExO answered Tuesday July 13 2004, 1:54 am:
tell her mom your side of the story, you should be getting sent to this place if you don't belong there and if you shouldn't be there. i mean i've been there too, why get a whole bunch of peoples addresses, when you only talk to a certain amount of ppl.. explain to ur mom that and tell her that you don't ahve a problem getting along with others & hopefully she'll understand, but don't yell at her about it, just talk (it works out better that way) good luck :)

][ hope i helped & please rate ][

You can try it for another day if you want. But I would talk to your mom first and tell her why you only have 10 people on your buddy list. Tell her exactly what you just told us. Good luck!
