Grandparents? I had a lot of friends who did that at 14.

I don't know what that all means. You'll have to be more specific -- what different places and you can't communicate with whom?

They won't let you go to your friends' homes at any time?

Hang out where?

They will never let me go to any friends house at any time,therefore I don't have very many friends at all!!

So, because you are homeschooled, you are at home 24/7.

You NEVER go to any friend's house.

What you can do is please ask your mother to come to the computer and give her side of the story.

No hanging with friends at all? At 14? That's wicked rough.

Dude I don't know what to tell you. Have a talk to with your parents and demand that they allow you to have a social life. You can try this on them: Social activities are, in my opinion, more important than academics. Not every kid is going to understand and enjoy math, literature, history and the usual list, but everyone should know how to make friends.

Ask your mom to type in her reasoning here.

I can wait. When she's nearby and available, I will be glad to hear from her why she keeps you away from any social life.

My brother can drive so I am at a computer at a College we don't have internet at home. I reason she keeps me from social life is because she thinks the Bible tell her that that is what she needs to do! Which is not true!!

Wondergirl

What are the Bible verses she uses as proof?

Sounds like you got out, and to a college no less!

Wondergirl

She not with me right now
But she goes to the college with you sometimes to use the computers? Just not this time?

TabRose
Aug 18, 2010, 02:58 PM
I can't talk to any random person at a College that's why she let's me do it! She just thinks that the Bible says parents can do anything and all things with their children,so that what's she wants to do with me.

TabRose

Now it's time to leave the College so please stay around for my furture talk! She never goes because she not fan of computers herself.

Then LEAVE the place!! Doesn't matter where at least you won't have the stress! I'm at age 14 like you and I'm planing to move out from my parents house real soon because my mom cares about my brother more than me and I'm sick of it! I cry a lot arguing to her saying I'm your first born,AT LEAST show you care!

I'm sorry. :( I'm 15 now,and I decided that I'm going to stay until I'm 18. My parents aren't as strict as they use to be. It does not make sense to try to leave. God tells us to wait on Him. Also if people don't love you remember... John 3:16 "For God so loved the world,that he gave his only begotton Son,that whosoever beliveth in him should not perish,but have everlasting life."

Is there an order that your "ex" has custody? If so you need to go back to Court and request the change. The Court will decide what is best for her.
