    My Mom Is Neglecting me because of my friends choices
    I hate life. Right now I wish I was put up for adoption, I could move out, or dead.

    My mom seen hickies on my friends neck.

    I told her that that was my friends business.

    Then she said well I'll pardon it this time.

    I said you shouldn't have to because its her neck.her life. If her parents have a problem with it then let them deal with it.

    Then she started freakin griping me out.
    She told me since she needs to stay out of my business to not ask her for anything.
    So I need a place to live. I was going to move in with a friend but what if we get in an argument and I'm forced to move out?

    Where do I go?
    What do I do?
    How do I get adopted?

    How old are you?
    Did your mom actually tell you to move out?
    Why did she say that you told her to stay out of her business when you said stay out of your friends business?
    You need to talk to your mom and tell her it was a misunderstanding that got blown out of proportion. All you were saying is that you don't have control over another families life or decisions.

    I think your mom was just concerned for your well being.

    If it were me in your moms position I would be looking at who you were hanging out with.
    I wouldn't want you to hanging out with bad people.

    I'm not saying that your friend is a bad person but I think from your moms point of view shee sees that hickey on your friend as a hickey on you.
    If your friend is hanging out with boys and getting hickies then you might be as well.

    Yes she probably did overreact, but I think all this can be sorted by talking to her, not by wanting to move away from her.

    Have you sat down and told her why you feel she is invading your space?
    Has she told you why she found the hickey on your friend to be so offensive?

    So let me get this straight ; your mother is kicking you out of the house because she saw hickeys on your friend's neck? Is that it? I find that very difficult to believe ; there's got to be something else going on here. It is true that the hickeys on your friend's neck are really none of your mother's business. But, your friendship with this person is very much your mother's business. And if your mother feels that this person is a bad influence on you and therefore wishes to limit or eliminate your friendship, that's her prerogative whether you agree or not. I'd also suggest that you discuss these things with your mother in a respectful manner. Say something like "Mom, I understand and appreciate your concern. And I agree that the marks on her neck are rather conspicuous and not in very good taste. But understand that, personally, it's really not your business. It's her problem, it's not yours and it's not mine. And rest assured that I am not doing those sorts of things myself." I know that immaturity may play a part but how much life could be better if young people learned to communicate respectfully with the adult authority figures in their lives, such as parents, teachers, etc.

    Never , ever, wish that you were dead. Your mother is concerned for your welfare. You should go hug her neck, tell her that you love her, and be grateful you have parents who care for you, clothe you, feed you, house you, buy you the things you have, and provide healthcare for you. I know sometimes we parents seem to be mean, and tough, but it's going to become very clear when you have kids of your own. How old are you? You don't want to be looking for a place to live, and trying to make it on your own. Your business is HER business. You see, you are her responsibility, and it's her job. The world, no better yet, jails and prisons are full of kids that didn't have parents that cared. Go make things right with your mother, and while your at it, reassure her that you won't be doing the things that started this in the first place.

    Yeah it sounds to me if this is the way it happened then mom got it all blown out of proportion. Her telling mom it was her or her moms business doesn't sound all that wrong to me.
    Now if she was telling mom to butt out of her life and her friends life I can see mom being upset.

    I didn't read it as she was being kicked out.

    She said her mother told her not to ask for anything any more (something my mom has said to me when we argue)

    Then she said she was moving out (I think because she was upset/angry)

    I may be wrong though.

    Yeah that is what she meant I was thinking mom threatened but didn't mean it but she is worried she will tell her again and mean it,

    I doubt your mom actually just kicked you out, which means you probably just got into a fight and now you want to leave. So maybe you should just try and patch things up with your mom or just forget about it. Suck it up buttercup, it could be a lot worse.

    Secondly, have you read your own question, particularly the first line? If you want serious advice, show a little maturity.

    Well try to move in with your friend and try really hard not to get in a fight with him/her.If that doesn't work out and you have nowhere else to go try talking to your mom.;)

    There were many different opinions shared here, but I believe the general consensus is this:
