Okay guys! Important stuff here!

My mom has gotten all worried about online sex offenders and banned me from myspace. She's investigating all the sites I go to and I be Gaia is next to go. If this site get's blocked, no one delete my account cuz I will find ways to get online.

I'm really upset though because she doesn't trust me even though last time I really lied to her was when I was 7 years old. I assured her that my myspace is set on private, I use it primarily for music, and I only communicate with LFers and people at school. She has no trust in me.She believes all the stupid things that say "OMG, everyone your child ever talks to is a sex offender, take their passwords and question everything they do!"

I refused to give her my pw on any site. I told her I'd give her a tour of the sites and what I'm doing whenever she wanted, but no pw for her. She wouldn't do that.

She got mad at me for filling out a survey that asked questions like "Have you ever played DDR?" Total craziness.

EDIT: My mom has decided that after 4-28-06, I am grounded from the computer until school starts back up next year. From now until my final report card because I have 2 Fs, even though I do try to pass. From my final report card until the begining because I will fail English and History. English because the teacher does not give us enough time to finnish anything and counts zeros on any work that has even 1 question unanswered and because she gave the class a quiz on something nobody had learned and counted the darn thing as 35% of our grades (this put about 80% into a failing position)! History because my precentage is simply too low and my mom can't afford a toutor to help me understand history. (even though I already have the .5 credit I need in that class)

Dude that messed up. Though I have to somewhat agree with her on being worried with the whole 'myspace' deal. I'm actually planning on deleting mine soon. But that's not the point. She's being over protective with you. I know she's trying to be a good mother and making sure that nothing bad will happen to you but that just goes over the line on blocking most of the sites that you go on and/or watching you behind your back.

And as you pointed out trust is not an option right now. But I think your doing the right thing. Try again by taking her on a tour of the sites that you go on. Just keep on pressing to gain the trust that you earn.

Best of luck to you and cheers.

I say she is out of her mind, the only thing my mom is annoying about(well she only asks when she feels like annoying me) is if I look at porn, which, I am not commenting on, I can understand what she is thinking but she is being stupid about it. I also suggest the tour of the sites part, that would be best.

I think this is quite late, but if you want to give your mother a tour... make her look at the sites you barely go or never visit.

Over-protective parents suck, really. Although, with the sex offenders issues going around the world, no one would like to see their kid getting sexually harrased by some stranger.

Your mother is worried. I can empathise with that. But I do agree she is going over the line a bit.

well while she is going a little overboard (I know lame pun) she is only doing this because the minority overrules the majority, and people have died on myspce, however they have also died going to bed, getting out of bed, driving to school, from school etc..., basically, just remind you mom that the majority of the people on the site are fine, and the only people who get hurt are the really stupid ones, of which you are not, just remind your mom, it's all part of natural selection, only the strong, and smatt survive, and you are one of the smart ones

Pft, I tried that. She'd rather have me outside than online. It's not safe to be outside in these parts ever! Sex offender live on my street! She knows this.

Then it's time to use the BB of C and bust that person straight!

Remember this? (Don't bump it)

Maybe busting her mom wouldn't be a good idea... btw, did you read my idea, Numbuh?

[Saphire-089 offline]

My mom's the same. I just wish she'd stop it already. But she just insists on making the situation more bad than it needs to be by sending me some Gay email about it. Maybe some people die on it, but I WOULDN'T Because I Don't Use My Real Name. I'll Usually Use A Fake Email Addrress. There's No Way Anyone Will Find Me On That Stupid Site.


BTW, your mom is way out of line for doing this, believe me.

Yes, I remember it. What about it? Also, that was a good idea.

[KayLenny#7 offline]

Yeah, I did read yours, Rodri. She refuses to look at any site unless I give passwords. She already knows all the sites I go to.

That sucks, my dad can be like that sometimes. One time he hid my laptop in his closet because I registered for a discussion board and told him about it afterward. How dangerous can a message board about Mythbusters be? I think many parents are way overprotective. Like it has been stated previously, the ONLY way you will get "snatched" is if you post your real name or address. Show her some statistics or something.

She only cares about statistics that she hears like "There were ((INSERT NUMBER HERE)) sex offenders found on myspace." Nothing I say is of importance because "I'm only 14 and don't know anything".

[Shi_Min_Xi offline]

Ouch....Well I know this isn't going to help much...But it just shows that she's trying to be a good mother and protect you...But that is going a bit over-board....You could try to just let her see everything you're doing at all times whenever she wants to see it. But definitly no pw...(You don't know what could happen *innocent whistle...*) Yea...that's all I gotta say...

Bullcrap, you know a lot more than she does about this! I seriously doubt she's ever been on MySpace or any forums like this. MySpace does scare me, but the forums are a totally different story in my eyes.

[KayLenny#7 offline]

She's the kind of person who says stuff like "You can only have your hair repaired if there's enough money left over after I dye and perm mine" and takes dogs into restraunts even after reading a sign that says "no pets". I don't want her to get mad at me if she reads this, but she makes it seem that she honestly believes that she's above all rules, laws, and priorities. She will not listen to logic. If it's inconvinient for her, it doesn't happen. ^^'

[The BB of C offline]

I never understood how someone can be brought to think like that.

<_< hate to be devils advocate, but ya know, your parents only ever do this sort of thing cause they love you.

Sadly thats the only positive thing of having an over-protective parent.

[The BB of C offline]

That is very much true.

[KayLenny#7 offline]

I could say that you're right, but I'd be lying. Stonecreek would understand what I mean by this, but he must not have visited this topic yet or something. Maybe I'll come clean with some of it, maybe I won't.

[Stonecreek]

I only do not visit because others seem to be handling it well until now. From all accounts thus far, the mom is in the wrong, and won't let the bird fly from the nest so to speak. Sure, the parents love oyu, but they also can be a hindrance at the worst times in a teen's life as well. This is the case of the latter here.

[KayLenny#7 offline]

Uh... What's "latter"? ^^' Oh, and "hindrance".

[Stonecreek]

Uh... What's "latter"? ^^' Oh, and "hindrance".

Layman's term - a parent's love is not always what the child needs.

Latter - the second option, so to speak.
Hindrance - holds you down, gets in the way, etc.
