My mom thinks I am doing drugs, when I am not.
I am 15, i think that might help, it might not. Anyway, one day I was talking on the phone with my mom, and I was talking outside. There is nothing wierd or wrong with that, right? Well, to my mom it was, because i like to talk outside a lot because sometimes I dont want my parents to know what i am talking about. Well, that day my mom calle dme on the phone. I told her I was outside and she said, "I hope you're not doing anything you're not supposed to." For my mom, doing something you're not supposed to is drugs or alcohol. I told her I wasn't but right before I got off the phone with her she repeated that statement. Some of you may think it is a silly thing to worry about, but it is for me because I lost some family members due to lung cancer form first and seconde hand smoke. But the thing that made me really mad was that I was on the other line with my friend, who I had only know for two years, and when I told her that she knew I wouldn't do stuff like that. I guess what my question is, is how do I make my mom beleive that I am not smoking?

I agree with the person below me when they say that your mom might think you feel guilty if you decide to talk to her, but I think you should talk to her anyways. Sit her down & tell her you're not doing anything you're not supposed to be doing, & you wouldn't think of it. Tell her that since you've lost people to diseases due to smoking, you would never think of touching it. And you've got better things to do with your time. But tell her that calmly. If you throw a fit, then she'll probably think you're lying to her, and then she'll get pissed or she just won't trust you.
As for when you're on the phone, I do that too sometimes, or I just go in my room. I have a lock on my door so basically no one can come in unless they have the key, but they usually don't. And try to talk to your mom more. I realize you're at the age where you might hate your mom & want nothing to do with her, but your mom can be your best friend & the more you tell her things & talk to her, the easier life can be for you. I'm still figuring that out the hard way because my mom bugs the hell out of me, haha.

Your mom might suspect this because she is worried about you. Try not to mention it again. If you keep bringing it up, then she might think you have a guilty conscience. Also if possible, try not to go outside to talk when your mom is home. Maybe you could go to your room or somewhere in your house. If she isn't home though you can go outside. You do have a right to privacy. Hope my advice helps! <3 Jenn
