Mom Probs

 "My mom won't leave me alone"
"My mom is always in my buisness"
"My mom has to control everything i do"

If these are common issues for you then i've got your soultions. First of all, it is important to realize that your mom does love you, and only wants the best for you. Perhaps what you consider "prying" is her way of staying in touch with you. One way to aviod feeling constricted is by telling your mom about your day. Its probable that your mom simply enjoys conversation with you. You may not realize it, but as you're getting older and have alot going on, you're more likely to be wore out and tired when you get home, therefore less likely to want to hold a conversation with anyone. By simply telling your mom about your day is a great way to satisfy her questions and keep the fighting to a minimum. You may feel that your mom controls you. This is probably true. In most cases, teenagers want to be independent. They think that they don't need anyone to tell them right from wrong. However, they certianly do. From your young teenage years till graduation you're constantly learning, and who better to teach you those things than your mom, who (believe it or not) has been through all of it. A great idea would be to talk to your mom about everything that you are struggling with, ask her to possible approach situations differently, and tell her that you will come to her to talk about things more often. Tell her how you feel and chances are she'll listen, your mom wants you to be happy and safe. Maybe she dosen't know that the way she is doing things bothers you. It is very possible for you and your mom to discuss things in a way that satisfies the both of you.
