She won't let me talk on the phone.
My mom won't let me talk to boys on the phone. Whenever my cellphone rings, shes like "Who is it??!?!?" When I actually tell her she rolls her eyes and then asks my 20 questions about the person I'm talking to.
I know like trying to "protect" me, but I have to pretty much "hide" in my room when I talk on the phone.
Help?

I'm 24, and I remember my mom being totally overprotective and treating me like a child when I was a teenager. I hated it. Let me tell you something though, I'm thinking about having my own kids soon and I know I'll be the same way. I could tell you that you'll understand when you are older and she is just trying to protect you and blah blah blah....but I know that isn't what you want to hear. She doesn't want you to get knocked up and develop a crack habit and kidnapped by a internet preditor child molestor. It happens way more then you think, trust me. Just put up with it for a few more years. You really will understand when you have some experience to your name.

My mom does the same thing. It took her a while to finally let me tlalk to guys on the phone. Seriously, when my cell rings she runs and answers it.
Moms will always be like that. You just got to tell her, "Mom, they are just friends." or something like that.

It's good to know that you realise she's just trying to protect you. All the majority of parents want is to see their child grow up safe and happy. Problem is, they cause their children untold grief in the process!!!
Try having a chat to her about it. Tell her about your friends and let her realise that they are good people. Maybe even see if you can have some of them over for dinner, so that she can meet them for herself? If she meets them, she can reassure herself that she has nothing to worry about.
Don't hide from her because that will make the matter worse. The more you hide from her, the more she will want to snoop, so try to keep your relationship as honest and open as possible and if that means telling her that she needs to loosen up a little bit then so be it. As long as you are very nice about it and don't scream or shout, this should be fine. She may not loosen up or even be prepared to back off a litle straight away so try to work out a compromise, which will also earn her respect in the long run.
Whatever you decide, try to work things out as best as possible. Mothers can be a major thorn in our sides but growing up, we don't always realise how valuable they are.

Haha! That's funny because the same thing happened to me with my mom. & This is how I handled it..
I sat down with my mom and told her how I felt. After that, I told her that I wanted to prove to her that I can be trusted so she could ease up on the "parental control". She said if I improved my grades and got straight A's, she would trust me and loosen up.
It depends on your parents. So just have a chat with them & ask them what would make them trust you. It should work. If not, ask me some more questions. K love ya. :)
