How do I get my mom to let me be me and let me like my music?
Question by ♫Eternal Rest♫: How do I get my mom to let me be me and let me like my music?
I am 15 and I am a rock junkie. I listen to it all metal, punk, screamo, alternative, hard rock, really anything. Whenever I put a cd in the car because I forgot to bring my iPod she will be like no I don’t want to listen to that its shit! When we have an agreement I get control of the cd player and radio in the car. Well this morning she was telling me I need to work over the summer and as long as I get a job she is happy. So I was messing around and told her ok I will go sell drugs on the street corner. She got all pissed off and told me one more word about drugs she was taking away all my music (iPod, cd, iTunes, etc.) because its corrupting my mind. My dad will listen to some of my music but he likes that I like older bands better. So he really doesn’t mind my music but its her! She will be like your going emo or goth and drag me into American Eagle and buy try to buy me clothes when I tell her no. How do I get her to let me be me and love my music?
I was messing around she knows I was but she got a little mad because I said it at the wrong time
I am a girl not a guy
The stuff i listen to isn’t bad. She has it in her head that its bad
I know I have it good but we don’t like ANY of the same music. She likes her classical crap and I like my hardcore stuff. If I ever find anything she likes its stupid mainstream crap that I hate
She knows I am clean. I will never go near drugs! I am a great student and I am in an academy at school so I am pretty smart. I do well I have like one C on my report card and thats in chemistry cause I don’t get it half the time
dude I don’t wanna be a rockstar. I know they are about drugs but I am not out there being like them smoking all the pot I can and doing 6 foot lines of blow or shooting up in my closet. I am at home doing homework or studying or listening to music or doing stuff for my mom

Get a job.
Get your own place instead of living on your folks blood, sweat, and hard work.
Listen to whatever you want there.
If your dumb enough to sell drugs, you are dumb enough to be bubba’s back door b**** in jail. If you dont want to be raped then dont go to jail.
If you were my son, a dumb-punk statement like that would have cost you all your music and players pawned or thrown in the dumpster. A fit afterward, and you would be living on the street.
