Boy oh boy, it's like playing a video tape (sorry, CD) of my past.
It's actually creepy, I've been exactly where you are. My ex at 14 was my bff's boyfriend that she dumped, and her boyfriend was my ex that I dumped, and swimming, that's what we did every weekend at 14. We'd go swimming because our parents wouldn't allow us to date. Riding our bikes to the only place in town that had swimming, every Saturday.
My ex then, still a friend from when I was 14, I'm 41 now. We're probably still friends because he had an aneurism 14 years ago and doesn't really remember who I am. Then again, he has to be reminded that his 14 year old son is his son every day.
I married someone else. Why? Because I was 14 then! 14 year olds don't know anything. I didn't have the sense God gave a goat back then! I know it now, but back then I thought I knew it all. You think you know it all too. You know nothing at all.
Sorry, but you're 14. You don't have a clue about anything. We should know, we've all been your age, and we didn't know anything back then either.
I thought my mom was too strict too. Turns out, she was a mom, and adult, someone that had the common sense I didn't have when I was 14. Thankfully she stepped in. Wish she had stepped in more, but you can't change what you don't know about. My bad, not hers.
I now have an almost 14 year old son, less than a month from now he'll be 14.
He doesn't have any sense either. No 14 year old does.
My advice? Listen to your mom. You're 14, you know nothing. Mom was 14 once, and she survived, like me. She knows more than you do, and really, one day you'll be very grateful she was strict.
