Her mother thought that she would get pregnant by going to a movie? Anyways, no, I don't think how her mother is acting, is being fair. How's her mother going to act the day she finds out her daughter wants to get married? Have the guy marry her, too? Sheesh.  |

I feel bad for your friend aswell poor girl haveing someone breathing down her sholder every minuite of the day this is unfair. if you sepress someone like this they will rebel is one thing she should think off. I knew a girl who was about say 13 and her mother would stand behind her when she did her homework and would not go away untill it was all done. and she would not let her wacth PG rated movies at the age of 13 unlease the mother had cheacked it out and stuff.  |

I know the world can be a scary place but being overprotective isn't good either.  |

That's definitely not fair...Her mom needs to realize that what she is doing is going to have an effect one day. What I like to the "18ers", the kids that just go wild when they turn 18 and get their freedom...I know a couple of kids like this...  |

I can see how her mother going everywhere your friend goes might cramp her style, but she will have to do as her mother tells her as long as she lives at home. Maybe in a year or two her mother might give her a little more rope. I think she is being a little over protective maybe, but it is her daughter. On my first date many years ago ... my boyfriend and I were accompanied not by MY mother ... but by HIS mother and little brother! lol.  |

I can't see her mother being overprotective being a benefit to her. I mean how is she ever going to learn to handle situations of any kind for herself if her mother is there to do it all for her? Her mother needs a reality check big time.  |

Yeah, that's not fair. She is way to overprotective. I think your friend's mom needs to learn to trust her daughter more.  |

Well, some parents are just really strict. I'm sure she doesn't want to try to make her daughter's life miserable...but in a way she is. She probably is just worried for her safety and well being. though I agree, it is a bit extreme since yall are 17. If your friend's mom doesn't let her live her life...it will hurt her in the long run because she will miss out on a lot. I'm sorry your friend's mom is this way.  |

Sadly, she is the mom and has the right to make her choices even if they seem strict to you. The mom might have very good reasons that you or her daughter don't know about. I would suggest working with the mom if you want to be able to spend time with your friend and not fight her otherwise she might be suspicious. I was raised in a strict house and yeah it really sucked at times but I never felt unsafe when I lived with my parents and I, unlike one of my sisters, never abused my parents trust when they finially gave it to me. I can not blame the mom for being overprotective at all, there are too many bad things that happen to our kids when we arn't watching and I rather have a child know she is loved then one who is let to run as free as she like. Maybe I'm misunderstanding how you talked to her mom but I get the idea there that you gave the mom a lil attitude if so I think you are majorly in the wrong, if not then I do suggest you don't take librities by judging the mother on her parenting.  |

I hate to see how wild this teenager gets when the parent finally does take the chains off. . . Kids that have been sheltered like that don't know how to live in the "real world" when they get there.  |

Poor chick, I know who your talking about and I totally agree. She is so sheltered, she can't help but be a little snobby. I dont think there is anything she can do but make a conscious decision not to treat her children the same way.  |
