I’m almost 18 (I’m about to graduate from HS, and can drive), he’s almost 20 (didnt’ graduate, but working on it, can’t drive). He’s always been nice to me. My mother saw on another site where our avatars were hugging. Do you think she’s wrong for taking me off? She says I should have nothing to do with online dating, etc. She’s errased everything I’ve done, and cancelled all my web sites, changed passwords, written into the places you name it, she did everything to get me erased and I’m not able to use that, what do you think?

I think that if it’s her computer and she is paying the bill she can do what ever she wants….no matter what you think.
Her house her rules…..even though you don’t like it.
use a fake name and address and sign up again. clear the history on ur computer after ur finished so she does not know what ur doing
she’s harsh!! wow.
She could be trying to protect you from a possible online predator? Do you ever watch Law and Order? There are some freaky episodes based around online predators.
I think since you are nearly a adult that you should sit down and nicely discuss why she did everything and maybe she would give you a reasonable explanation. It could be that she wants to keep you safe or feels you have more potential then to be with the boy you are talking to.
Her house, her computer, she pays for internet, her rules. You have to live by them.
i don’t think it’s harsh.
uh no. you live under her roof you live by her rules.
While I think the reaction was a bit much, parents today are so scared that their daughters/Sons will meet someone online that will hurt them. She was just trying to protect you.
That is so sad because you are about to be 18yrs. But as long as you are in her house and if its her computer she can do it. Go to the library or a friend house next time you want to use the internet.
She has the right to block your internet access as long as you live in her house. When you are officially 18 – and hopefully going off to college – you will have earned your right to be on the internet anytime you want. It looks like your mom has taken drastic measures – however I’m sure it’s because she is afraid that online dating can be dangerous. Please be careful – too many stories of young people being hurt by strangers they meet on the internet.

Your 18 she needs to let you grow up……just be careful on here.
yes. listen to ur mother
that’s overboard. if my parent’s did something like that to me on any of my stuff i wouldn’t forgive them until they fixed everything they screwed. no one has a right to do that. tell them off.
If you’re living in her house and she’s paying all the bills then yes she’s right.
its her house and she can doi whatever she wasnts. when u r 18 move out and do what you want
Sorry to say but if you’re not paying the internet provider bill and she is, she has every right to kick you off. I know it sucks but that’s life.
Trust me when I tell you that this guy is a ‘just for the moment’ type of guy. You’re still so young and have so many great opportunities with dating/career/life! Take advantage. Your Mom is more than likely doing you a favor.
As long as you are under her roof, and everything you own and use is being paid by her, you operate under their discretion…no matter how unfair it may be.
By the way, there are Internet stalkers and predators out there. Maybe she is protecting you from them.
No, she’s well within her rights to take you off the internet nomatter how old you are. Until you pay for the internet connection and the computer at your house, she will always have the right to keep you off the internet (in her house). Now, when you turn 18, she has no right to change your passwords, etc. Why dont you just make some private screennames and keep them to yourself. Don’t forget to delete the cookies and history after you’re done to keep her from finding them. good luck
i think she is wrong…. but you do live in here house so ya you kinda have to do what she says….
It sounds like she could possibly be over-reacting if you have given the whole story about what happened. I think that online dating is ok when done correctly with good intentions. Maybe she doesn’t understand. Do the two of you have a good relationship, like one where you can sit down and talk to her about the pros and cons of what you are trying to accomplish by talking to this guy online? Unfortunately, she is your mom and has authority rights on what you can and cannot do, but it is my experience that when parents actually understand the situations, they tend to be a little more lenient.
i think it’s a bit overboard but if you live in her house and use her computer, i don’t see much you can do about it! i guess you could try sitting her down and talking to her!
hey hun if she thinks this is not a good friendship for u or think ur “conv”w.this guy is not ok,not safe then yea she has the rite. she is ur mom and u still under age. she is just worried and protecting u. ull know all this stuff when u bcome a mom.
i think she is your mother until you graduate, so just wait then move out and maybe you can find that guy of your dreams
Sorry to say it but it IS her house, so until you get your own place I don’t think there’s any changing her mind. Plus I don’t think that guy sounds like a real go-getter. I do think she was a little harsh without giving you the benefit of the doubt and trusting your judgement unless you made bad decisions before. Don’t be so hard on your momma, she’s just trying to protect you, tooooo many weirdos out there!
Sounds like my mom. Lol. What ELSE were your avatars doing……?
MY BROTHER IS A COMPUTER WHIZ. ONE DAY IN A CHAT ROOM HE SAW A GIRL TALKING TO A GUY AND FELT LIKE SHE WAS MUCH YOUNGER THAN SHE SAID. INSIDE OF 5 MINUTES HE HACKED HER ADDRESS, THEN LOOKED UP THE PHONE NUMBER AND CALLED HER. WHEN SHE ANSWERED HE TOLD HER “I’M A GOOD GUY-BUT BAD GUYS ARE SMART TOO” AND EXPLAINED TO HER THAT MANY PEOPLE COULD DO WHAT HE DID. SHE WAS 13 AND WAS SO SCARED SHE TOLD HIM SHE WOULD NEVER GO TO A CHAT ROOM AGAIN…IT’S FOOD FOR THOUGHT
