My mom wants me to go to prom next weekend…

And I so don’t want to go. She kept bugging me about it up until this morning when we had another fight. She thinks I don’t want to go b/c I don’t have a bf, but that isn’t true. She simply won’t believe anything I say about it, which I understand b/c of recent events. Still, she is bugging out and I don’t know what to do. I am a junior and WILL go next year, but for some reason her and like my neigbors are pressuring me to go. It is annoying. And today, my mom stopped talking to me for it (and another reason), but then this afternoon, around 5, she randomly left and it is now past 10 and we haven’t heard from her. She just left for no reason and didn’t say anything about leaving. We tried calling, but she left her phone. I’m really worried I pissed her off again and that maybe I just pushed her over a little too much. I feel so terrible! Hence why I am ranting on here…

Parents don’t want their children to “miss out” on important events in life. She probably thinks you are feeling alone and are withdrawing from people. Why not invite your boyfriend? But do GO, because it IS something you would regret not doing later on!

If you have good reasons for not wanting to go, then don’t. Your mom can’t live her youth again through you. It’s yours to live.

About her leaving hours ago.. have you called any of her friends or family? Do you know if there’s a bar she goes to, or a quite place she goes to when she’s troubled?

She came back sometime during the night…she’s here this morning.

Anyway, I just don’t want to go b/c that kind of thing isn’t me. I hate dressing-up, I hate being around a lot of people at once, I hate dances and dancing for that matter. It just isn’t me and I promised to go next year, my senior year. Idk. I’ll think of something I guess, thanks.
