You should talk to your mom some more about this because that's a lot of time to have to spend by yourself. She may be doing this because she's worried you'll get into trouble of some kind so she could be over-protective, especially since you're an only child.

But the best thing to do is talk to her in a calm ,reasonable way about things that you can do during the summer. Let her know that you need the socialization and activity. Look into things that are going on where you live. Do you have a YMCA near you? Then ask about any activities that they're offering for teens. Sometimes schools or churches will offer summer activity programs for teens too so you can call around and ask about these. This way, if your mom is worried about your supervision and safety, you can tell her that these are supervised by adults and you can put her mind at ease.

If she doesn't want you going over to your friends houses, then ask if a friend can come over to your house to visit. If it's at all possible, maybe you can ask an adult friend of the family or a family member to speak on your behalf or to offer you some moral support.

I wish you all the best.

Ok my best advice is do not whine, and nag at your mom and cry when she says she cant get anything, either she is cracked or very overpretective, i suggest calmy telling her with all the details like the exact location, time and numbers of the parents, tell her in like 2 weeks in advance, dont pop it on her last minute, and as for the whole computer thing im in the same boat, i watch alot of TV, maybe try to go to some summer camps, run a summer business, like baby sitting or dog walking, work on schoolwork or do extra stuff over the year if your a nerd.

You might as well be under house arrest. :) Talk to her, tell her that you need to go hang out with your friends. Its not normal for your mom to make you stay at home all day during summer!
