Somebody please help

How do I get along with my mom if she doesn't accept the way I am? She doesn't like that way I dress and she doesn't let me away from the house. I'm not even allowed to go out with any of my friends or spend the night with them, and I'm already 18! Somebody please help.

Ummm if your 18 you dont have to listen to your parents you can go if you want because your 18 you are considered an adult and theres nothing she can really do about it...you can just walk out and leave...but she could kick you out though

OMG my moms like the same way cept im 16 and your 18 but for what I know its not going to get better unless you ask her why she does the things she does, and if that doesnt work well then your 18 move out or move in with a family member that is more accepting with who you are.

You're an adult now. She can't control your life. So just leave, and see what happens, if she apologizes, then you can go back. But if she doesn't then I suggest living on your own or with friends.

Overall that is tough. IT is hard to be the person you want to be while living under your quardians roof. When you live in her house, you have to follow her rules. If you are 18 you should be allowed certain freedoms, because she cannot controll you forever.

Would you like to risk getting kicked out though? If you wish to take a risk, see if you can arrange living with a friend before trying. That way, if things go badly, you can live with your friend. If things go smoothly, you can live under your moms roof while having fun.

Just think, maybe there is a may you can contribute that way you can get what you want while making your mom happy. You are your own person now. You are an adult. If you show respect, you will gain it. (Depending)

Good luck!

I wonder if it could be she's looking after your best interests, cares, and Loves you - Be thankful, many, many, many, don't Care - you're old enough to know right from wrong.

All the ones telling you that you are 18 and can do what you want are wrong. As long as your mother pays your bills and you live in her house, she has control. If you are ready to move out and be on your own then do it. But don't try the "I'm 18 and I'll do what I want" thing. My daughter tried that. It lasted a whole 2 days. Once she realized that she wouldnt' have a car, insurance, money, a cell phone. all that stuff, she changed her tune.

What you should do is sit your mom down and try to talk with her. See what exactly it is that she doesn't like about how you dress. As for being able to leave the house, You need to try and find out why she won't let you. Did you do something in your past that makes her afraid to let you out? Parents usually have a reason when they are that strict.

You are not going to convince her that you are mature enough to go out if you act like a smart as$ about the whole thing. Keep your cool and show her that you are a young adult.

are you still in high school? as long as you are doing good in school you should be allowed to wear whatever you want and go out whenever, if you are not in school start paying rent, and then do whatever you want.
