So you know that friend who was sending me mixed signals for almost all of last year? And you remember how I had no idea what to do? So I start talking to him again and it's great and he is planning on coming to something at my school with me and some friends and I'm all excited and guess what my mom says "I think you need to start to forget about him. You can't steal him from his girlfriend so why do you talk to him?" Now most of you will know that I do not in fact want to date him but now my mom won't even let me talk to him and I spent an hour in the bathroom crying. He's my best guy friend and I love him so much and he loved me (sibling way, not like a couple) and he was so protective and now I can't even talk to him. It makes me mad and sad and just feel shitty

Wow! Your mom obviously doesn't understand... maybe you could try make her see what you really mean...
