puppy_x3_love answered Wednesday November 24 2004, 1:36 pm: invite her to come check it out. there's not too much on this site that i wouldn't mind letting my parents see. if she's soo paranoid, let her see what really goes on. are there any guys on this site at all? ok, i know there are, but not many. so just let her see. and almost everyone's got a picture on their site. what makes her think that a 40 year old rapist would pick you out of all these people.

What I would do? Give your mom the address to Advicenators and let her poke around.
Let her see your advice column. Let her ask a question and see what sort of responses she gets.
A lot of parents are concerned because they did not grow up with the Internet; all many know is what the media feeds to them - that 47 year old men want to attack their vulnerable daughters.
After your mom has looked around, tell her you'll remain anonymous - tell her you won't give your address, full name, or post a picture. People can't email you directly without going through the Advicenators site, so you're safe there as well.
Above all, I'd explain everything in a calm voice - if you start screaming or getting really upset, your mom could interpret that as her being right and your being upset about it.
chaos answered Tuesday November 23 2004, 10:39 pm: She is just trying to do her job. There very well could be a 47 year old guy on here, and if you put too much info on your page it could be dangerous. And guess what, I am over 25. So yeah she may be a little overproctective, but she is just concerned about your welfare. She will probably back down after a little while. Just chalk another one up to teenager vs. mom.
