Mom always ruins everything
Hi.. :) I wanted your advice and opinion on this: I have my bst friend and she is black and i am white but i love her sooo much and to me skin colour doesnt mean anything,i'll love her no matter what.So she asked me to slipover at her house.But she's been recently back home(bc she moved 3 years ago at my country) and my mom doesnt give because i might get some disease(my mom is nurse).I think its just stupid and maybe she's just carrying for me but she cant do that forever. My freinds asked so many times to sleep over at her house but i always gave her some stupid excuses but acully my mom didnt gave me.. Please please help me i dont know what to do.. I really want to slepover at her house.... :( :/

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
Was the country she returned to one of those involved in the recent ebola epidemic? I know there was a lot of worry over this in the UK where I live. Regarding the movements of people from the stricken areas, including fears that aid workers returning to the UK might spread the disease. Being a healthcare professional, and thus at the frontline as you might say, possibly your mum's awareness was greatly heightened and she is still on a sort of mental 'red alert' regarding contagious diseases? It's easy to get into a mindset like this, especially if we are a bit prone to this way of thinking. A mild sort of paranoia kicks in. Then any travelling anywhere even remotely near the whole area becomes a 'threat'. Even long after the crisis is long past. Maybe a reasoned argument is the best approach? Point out that your friend isn't a danger to your health and back it up with some info. If wherever she visited was never on any sort of health black-list point that out. That there are no particular health issues attached to the place. Tourists go there all the time....and so on. I should think in a fairly short while your mum must twig that your friend hasn't returned carrying some dreadful virus (or she would have shown symptoms/been admitted to hospital/died etc) whatever you say or do. So time is in your favour. Health-scares do just what the name suggests. They scare people. Fears make us act in odd ways when they get a hold on us. And of course your mum will want to protect you in any way she can. That's what mums do mate, it's in her job-description! Sometimes myths go on and on. There are still people who really believe only gay men get HIV/AIDS. And even some idea that 'all gay men have either got it, or will get it.' You might think that's ridiculous, but I swear I've met people who tihnk like this.
