i hate my mum!!

i am a 16 year old girl, and i feel trapped and isolated in my own home firstly because of my mum, i understand that i do not do much around the house, but once a week i do do the vacuum or the ironing. in school i'd say i am pretty average. i try to get along with my mum, she does let me go out every weekend infact, but on some weekends she does not let me. my mum thinks i have a boyfriend, whereas i do not. i am always on the phone to my best friend whereas my mum thinks i am on the phone to my boyfriend. i am mostly on the computer i'd say about 3 hours on weekdays and about 4-5 hours on weekends. i normally listen to what she tells me. as i said she normally lets me go out every weekend, except this one. i really needed to go out as i have a non-uniform day at school this week and i needed something to wear. i would have gone with my best friend but my mum said no, im not sure but i think it is because on tuesday i went to school at 9 30 and she caught me hanging around at the bus stop. i dont think that was an excuse not to let me go out. i told her i would not go out next weekend and to just let me go out this weekend but she said no. i dont know what do do to make her belive that i do not have a boyfriend and also to make her believe that i do not smoke or do drugs! have had it and i cannot stand her much longer. i really hate talking to her, when she said no to me when i asked her about going out, i got stroppy, anyone would. and when i got stroppy she started shouting and saying that i always get moody when i do not get my way. i dont know what to do. i told her i will not come home on monday after school and she did not say anything. i wonder if she even cares. maybe her life could be better without me. who knows because i certainly do not. i am going to crack sooner rather than later. please give me some advice on what to do, and by the way, i have similar issues with my dad.
help!

i'm 17, in our teenage years we always feel like our parents dont understand us and that we're right and they're wrong, or they're unreasonable. like you said, your mum does let you go out, shes not entirely unreasonable. i think its best if you talk to her, there seems to be a lack of communication issue. and its pretty likely she does care about you, parents who care are the ones who give certain rules and boundaries, and she doesnt seem to have done anything totally unfair. i know it's probably not what u want to hear. and she probably didnt react when you said you weren't coming home because she realized it was an empty threat.
i dont know how bad things are for you at home, but try to have a calm conversation with your mum about why she didnt let you go out, if thats what u want to know, and try to see things from her point of view aswel, and try not to fly off the handle!
good luck if u try 2 talk 2 her xx

I have similar problems with my mum. We often argu, and say things we might not mean. But i sometimes wonder is she does mean the things she says. Justthis morning she said she would let me starve. This is really scary and makes me feel unwanted. I carnt talk to anyone about this feeling and often just end up running away. When I say i am going to run away - my mum often says go on then or dont come back. I carnt stand my mum sometimes but then i just remmember all the good things she has done for me. And you are never going to get away with not arguing with her, because we all argu with or mums at times. If i was you i would just show her she can trust you. When she wants you to stay in, stay in. Take a blood test to show her you do not do drugs. And as for the boyfriend situation, I would just talk to her - because sooner or later you are going to have a boyfriend anyway - she just needs to get her head around that fact ! And DONT bunk of school again. Oh and i suggest that you dont runaway, because all you do is just regret it in the end ! - You can always find a outfit in your waorbrobe for non uniform day! - theres no need to fall out over it. Good luck - and i hope my advice helps alot ! x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x
