It sounds like your mother didn’t feel comfortable with you being at your boyfriends, and rather than bluntly telling you, her anger got the best of her. I don’t know how old you are, but it sounds like your mother feels you shouldn’t have a boyfriend, or you are too young to be placed in a situation where you are likely to engage in sexual behaviors with your boyfriend. Give up the cell phone battery, wait a few days until she seems calm and talk to your mother. Share with her your feelings about her behavior and keep an open mind in listening to what she has to say in response. If you “flip out” when you hear something you don’t like, the whole scenario will likely play it self out again. And this time it might be an ipod or something else that gets seized.

i would give her the phone. who knows why your mom got really upset. maybe she knew someone when she was your age who got raped, maybe she had a bad experience at a boyfriends hosue when she was younger, maybe shes just really nervous about you havgin a bf. no more tantrums. just give her the phone and try to have a serious talk with her. tlel her you understand she has the authority here, but you wnat to know why she got so upset. try making a compromise with her like your bf comes over for dinner and you watch a movie in the living room. hopefully something can be arranged

Give her the phone. She is probably the one paying for it, and as much as it sucks, she has every right to take it away.

It seems pretty important for her to take your phone, and I don't know why because I have no idea who you, your mom, or your boyfriend are. I would just give it to her. Right down some important phone numbers if you must, but give it to her. (If your mom knocked down your door it must have been pretty darn important to her). You'll live without your phone: worse comes to worst, you'll be using the house phone or a friend's phone.

Your mother may be sick of letting you do whatever you want and not asking you to do anything. She might have realized that she needs to decipline more and just took it over board. I don't know if I am right. I would just talk to her and tell her your worries because it could be many things.

Hm....wow. That sounds pretty weird. Well, I can't tell you what's going on, because I'm not your mom. I suggest you talk to her in a normal tone of voice. Do NOT throw any more fits. If anything, you want to show her you're mature enough to handle whatever news she "can't tell you". She'll be more likely to open up. I've actually had a few of these moments myself, with my mom. Just be calm and mature :] goodluck!
