13/F
I'm not allowed to hang out with my Best friend 'Michelle' because we had a little fight and she left a baad message on my answering machine; not my cell my house and my mom heard it. This was like June of last year I mean all summer I snuck over her house and met her places and now we're partners for a Social Studies project and I can't tell my mom I'm going to her house. Without her I have no friends and she asked me to sleepover her house. I said no but if I keep avoiding that situation she might no be my friend anymore. What can I do I really want to chill with her and how can I explain that to my mom?
I will rate 5's.

Your mother needs to know that you've been getting along with your friend (not necessarily that you've been sneaking out to see her, but just that you've been getting along with her) and your friend needs to know why you haven't been staying at her house. She should know that what she did was rude, and very disrespectful to your mother, by leaving a nasty message on her answering machine.
Other than that, your should talk to your friend and get her to apoligize to your mom. Since the two of you have already made up, it's time for you mother and her to make up.

Because eventually she's going to feel like you're ignoring her and she'll ask you why. So just be honest. And about your mom, tell her that you two arent fighting any more and that's that. Tell her that you have to make your own friends and that she can't determine them for you. Hopefully she'll understand. Just be honest and nice when you do it so she feels like she can trust your decision. Hope i helped and good luck!!!

Just ask her if you can go to her house , who knows maybe she forgot about the message. Michelle should say shes sorry for leaving the msg if your mom is still against her. friends fight & im sure your mom will understand if you still want to be her friend. It was last year.. i think you should forget about the whole msg thing. [ l0VEisPAIN's advice column | Ask l0VEisPAIN A Question ]

Your friend probably matured a little and she should act like an adult and go see your mom. Then I think she might let you start hanging out with her again.

I matured in the first month or two that I was on this site. Anyway, your best bet is to stop sneaking out, and to talk to your mom. Start out telling your mom that you and 'Michelle' were assigned partners in social studies, and that you need to work on a project together, and the she offered for you to spend the night. Tell her that you've worked out your differences and that the two of you are becoming friends again, and ask your mom if it's all right with her.
The worst thing you can do is sneak around, your mom WILL catch you, WILL find out, and WILL get mad, and most likely WILL ground you, stop you from seeing that friend, and/or Dangit! I lost my train of thought, but it was a good one.
But I've done plenty of lying in my day, to my parents, siblings, teachers, friends... Let me tell you, it's not something you should be doing. I've only been caught in a lie once, maybe twice, it's not a nice thing, I've been working on that quality about myself. But anyway, you REALLY need to talk to your mom about it. You won't get anywhere sneaking around!! [ S_C's advice column | Ask S_C A Question ]

I think you tell mom that you are friends again. People can do a lot of changing in a years time.
Tell mom you talked and are friends again. Shes sorry and won't do it again...right?
I think your mom will be okay with it. Go ahead and say something to her about it. Then you can spend time with your friend without sneaking around. It will be so much more fun! :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
