I hate my life and my mom?

Question

i hate my mom so much, I'm always getting in trouble for everything i do. she doesn't like my boyfriend and my guy friends because she thinks their bad so I'm pretending i dint talk to them anymore just to make her happy and get her off my case. she took my cell phone 2 days ago and she says she'll give it back to me when shes convinced ive changed. i knew where she hid it so i still used it when she wasn't home but now she changed the spot and i cant find it. i had plans to go out tomorrow and their cancelled because of her, i have to wait till monday now. she is getting on my nerves like no one has before. i havent seen my boyfriend since last friday and its gonna be more than a week if i dont see him tomorrow and i miss him to death. he is also pissing me off though because he hasn't called me and we talked on msn yesterday for a bit and he was being so rude. i told him to call me today but then again I DONT HAVE MY PHONE! so if he calls i wont know. i dont know what else to do. i hate my mom soooo much. i just want my dad to come back because hes gone for 3 weeks. i feel like iI'ma prisoner in my house right now.

I'm guessing from what you've said, you must be a teenager at home with mom!  I'm afraid that there's probably not a lot I can say to convince you that your mom is concerned about you and wants you to be hanging out with friends that are a good influence.  That's what all parents want for their kids!  She's not trying to p*ss you off on purpose, she actually loves you and just wants you to make good choices in life.  It's also scary for parents to deal with the fact that their kids are growing up and having boyfriends and experimenting with all kinds of things they wish you would forget about for another 30 years!  You're getting older and she feels less in control.  It's a tough situation for her as well.  Maybe you can sit with her and talk about everything calmly.  You can both talk about how you feel, and you can tell her all the great things about your boyfriend and maybe she will be able to cut you a bit more slack.  You can reassure her that you're making safe choices with him and your other friends (hopefully you are so it will all be true!) and that will make her feel better, knowing she can trust you.  Good luck!!
