My mom hates my best friend and I have no idea why. She says he's a sleaze bag and a liar, and I'll turn into a bad person if I hang around him.

My mom and I have definitely had our fair share of issues with each other, but this tears me up inside. She is basically making me sneak around to see my best friend. What should I do?

    Ask her what she doesn't like about him. She cant hate him for no reason. That's not fair to you or him.

    Do what you want to do.
    Tell your mom that you're going to see your best friend no matter what. If she still forbids you to see him then move out of your house and move in with him. Don't let your mom rule your life. Stand up to her and be firm.

    Listen To Mom
    Mom may be a litte kooky at times but she's been there before and I believe she knows what she's talking about. I'm not saying you need to stop talking to your friend, but listen and take note of what you mom is saying. Sit down with her and have a mature conversation about why she feels this way. Ask for examples that made her feel the way she does.

    Listen
    You just have to listen to why she doesn't like him. Try and put yourself in her shoes.

    Mature
    You have to talk with your parents maturely. If you lash out in anger, (roll your eyes, cross your arms, snap at them etc.) then they'll think your friends will be a wall between you and them. If it becomes a constant argument, then they will want to get rid of that wall. Maybe you should ask your friend to be more polite to them and not to call so late. If they're picking you up, make sure they ring the doorbell. Maybe if they come over, tell your friends to compliment them and bring some chocolate or something.

    Well..
    There must be a reason your mom doesn't like him. Give it time, and if your mom is right about him, then good for her, and you should listen to her.

But if she's not, then she'll realize eventually.

    I understand. My mom hates my best friend too, and she is completely wrong about her. I'm the bad influence, and she isn't, but of course I can't let my mom know that. But either way, if you think your mom is wrong, then you should still hang out with your best friend.

If she is a good friend, then your mom shouldn't hate her, but everybody has a negative and positive side, and parents always look at the negatives, but we're all humans!
