I love my mom so much. But most times she really scares me. She dresses like a hooker wearing really tight short shorts and and belly tops that reveal way too much. She goes to these late night clubs and always brings strange men home. I can almost swear that they are high. One guy showed me his gun and laughed histerically but never told me why he had it. I don't know what to do. She scares my friends away, and one time during a parent teacher conference my teacher almost called the cops. I was so humiliated.
Have you told your mom about her behavior? If not, you should try talking to her about it. I know that you really won't want to, but if this is really bothering you, it's the best you can do. Tell her that it scares you when she leaves and then brings home these strange men, and that it makes you embarrassed how she dresses in public. But whatever you do, DO NOT question her parenting skills...I know that sounds weird, but if you say something like "You should be dressing like mom, not a hooker!" or "Why can't you just be normal?" or something along those lines, she'll most likely get mad. Just have a gentle approach and hear her (make sure she hears you, too).
If after you talk, nothing happens, it may just be the way she is, and theres nothing you can do about it. I'm almost positive that a real sit down conversation will change the way she acts, though!

The fact your teacher nearly called the cops means her parenting skills need worked on BIG TIME. What do you do? Talk to that same teacher about the fact your mom doesn't act her age, dresses lie a hooker and has random men over all the time.
While your teacher or guidance counselor cannt stop your mother they can talk to people who can give you support or have her confronted about what is going on at home.
If the authorities need to come in from child protective services (I don't think so unless the situation is far more sever than you said) to warn her about her lack of solid parenting skills and judgment it may be a good thing.
Your teacher, guidance counsellor or principal should confront her about all this. Even better would be if you had your father find out about it. He could bring it up with a judge about your welfare and maybe change things so he got custody of you and not her.
If you had a family member you trust confront her here and make her take parenting courses that may help. Your father should be told about this and especially play up the incident with a guy who brought a hand gun into your house to teachers, guidance counsellor and your father.

if it really bothers you so much, you should probably sit down and talk to her. Try not to be so harsh, but you arent really going to be able to fix the problem unless she knows that it makes you uncomfortable and embarrassed. If you need anymore help justtt drop it in my inbox
