I don't like that I have to go behind my mom's back to be independent.
I feel like by the time I'm an adult I'll still be super dependent of my mom and she gets upset whenever I mention being more independent or living on my own. She's 100% opposed to me living in a dorm for college even though I want to. And on Saturday I'm going downtown with a VN, who technically is an adult, she's almost 19 (she graduated this year) and my mom's upset that there won't be an adult there :/ we're gonna be in one spot for 3 hours and the city we live in is SUPER safe and I know a bunch of kids from my school go to this thing downtown by themselves and I'm going with my friend who's starting college. It's not like I'm a bad kid. I've never been in trouble. Never been expelled. I haven't had a problem with any teachers ever. I would get it if I was a bad kid, but I'm really not.
But I have to go behind her back and say people's mom's are driving me when it's just a friend driving me home. Or say that we're at a friend's house when we're really out doing errands.
She even had a talk with me and said she was frustrated cuz I kept bringing up being independent and "we don't do that in our culture" we literally do. My mom doesn't depend on her mom. Same with my dad and his parents. And I know I'm 16 and I don't expect to do everything on my own now, I just down think it should be a big deal if I want to hang out with a friend at a public place where kids my age and younger go every year. Idk man. Maybe I'm being dramatic and I'll realize it later.
