attitude
Recently I had a slumber party. One of the girls(who is like my bff since 2nd grade) grabbed the phone and called this boy she likes. I saw nothing wrong with it. My mom and older sister though thought she was acting 'wild.' So now my mom is thinking that I am going to be wild. She thinks I also need an attitude adjustment. She also thinks that I'm going to be worse than my sisters attitude when she was 13/14. I dont think I need an attitude adjustment! What should I do to help my Mom realize I'm not wild. Help fast- I rate high...

Well first of all it depends on how old you are. Your mom and sister just want the best for you and when your friends get guy-crazy, they are assuming you will be too. Just relax and stay calm. Talk to your mom 1-on-1. Tell her how you feel and explain that you don't think you're "wild" and you don't think you will ever be. Also say that you will try to be more respectful (even though i don't see anything wrong with what your friend did either, honestly lol) and you will ask your friends to be respectful also when they come over. Good luck hun =)

Mom is really concerned about you and means well, and in this day and age its hard to be safe in this crazy mixed up world. Sit down with your mom and sister and have a discussion without yelling and maybe after this talk things will be different. Ask them for a list of what you can do to prove that you are a good person and will not be like your friend. The other thing don't yell back at them when they yell at you and don't go slamming doors and act imature. Most teens are like that and it doesn't work. I used to be like that. It makes things worse. So sit down and come to an agreement that if what is on their list is followed through that you are more adult then like your friend and you can be trusted. LOL

Okay, first of all, you MUST explain to your mom what you were doing at your slumber party, and also explain that your friend was only having some innocent-slumber-party-fun. You have to also, before you tell your mom you DON'T need an attitude adjustment, to STRONGLY think about reasons why she could possibly think that, cause ya don't want her saying you're stubborn next! =) Also, tell her that you won't be easily influenced by your friend and simply just say "Mom, I'm different than 'so-and-so' and I promise you that wild-ness is just NOT for me!"
Good luck! x3

Hey there! My mom sometimes feels the same way when I hang out with my friends, so I know how this feels. Don't worry though! =D In order to help your mom to realize that you're not wild, is to show her. Conduct yourself in a mature manner when around her and visitors. Have good manners. Go for the good grades and study hard. I'm not telling you to fullout change yourself, but help your mom know that you can be mature, but also have a good time with friends. Take care!

Be respectful. It's that simple. You'll be shocked how much freedom and responsibility you are given when you speak softly and reasonably, and respect your mothers opinions.
She thinks you are a little 'wild' tell her you are testing your boundries a little but that you are smart and responsible and can be trusted.
Don't start with the whining and yelling "I DO NOT have an attitude problem!" Cause thats just... kinda stupid. You, and your mother, are both human, accept that, and respect her opinions just like you do your own.
