I'm sorry

[Goldfishies]

I can’t believe it. My mom is making me stop posting on this forum from now on. Yesterday, my mom came in my room and wondered what I was doing, so I told her. Then she was like, well why are you talking with people you don’t know? So I told her it was ok and that I’m not getting into any trouble or anything, and she was kind of surprised that I’d been on since August. So she told me to stop immediately, and asked why I haven’t told her before. I guess she thinks this is such a big deal. I don’t know if I can come back- I feel really bad. :(


I’m sorry people, I’ve really enjoyed posting here for the past eight months. I asked her why and she said that I needed to focus on my work, but I suspect she just doesn’t want me talking to people I don’t know. I’m really sorry. :(

oh, Sam, my heart is crying right now.. this is really sad! is there any way to persuade your Mom that we are good guys and will never do anything to hurt you? (maybe we should come over for a visit, so that she will meet us?:)) but no matter how it goes, i wish you all the best in your life. i think you are a wonderful person and i am very glad i met you here! you still know where to find us - we will be here for you all the time!

.......I...I am sorry.....Is there anyway for you to stay?!

That's tough luck, Goldfishies. I wish you the best of luck persuading your mom into letting you back onto the forums. Moms are funny like that, and oftentimes for a good reason not immediately noticeable. Maybe when your mother sees you've focused on your work enough, she'll reward you by letting you back on the boards.

Don't know if you'll be seeing any of our messages to you now, but I wish there was a way that we could help out. We hope you'll return though! Everybody cross their fingers.

I don't mean to be rude here but why does your mother have that much control in what you do? I thought you were in college? Am I confusing your age? Well, if you won't be posting here anymore know that you will be missed :(

This is a real shame. It's sad that your mother's decided to shoot first and ask questions never. How are you supposed to respect that? It's also really sad, though I recognise it all too well, that you feel you have to apologise when it's your mother who's being so narrow minded.

If it's humanly possible to talk any more with her about this, do - and try to be understanding even if you quite rightly think she's being ridiculous. If she refuses to talk about it, you should feel completely entitled to go behind her back. As Will Smith said, 'There's no need to argue. parents just don't understand.'

Well, we must remember that the mother is looking out for her daughter. How many articles are out there regarding freaks on the internet? Best of luck trying to hash things out with mom. It's always best to leave most details out of one's profile when going online.

Members of this forum who are not legal adults should let their parents know about this forum and invite them to look it over. If you're hiding your involvement here, then maybe mom and dad should monitor you quite extensively. I would think that an open and honest relationship is in the best interests of all parties involved. That way, minors can participate here, while parents can have their concerns addressed.

Oh Sam, that's a real shame. Is ther anyway that you can ask your mom to look in on the site? Maybe if she gets a feel for it and realises what it and the people here are like she may relent a little ( say at the weekends?) Maybe she could sit alongside of you whilst you look in now and then - it may help ease her worries a little. I hope you can sort things out. :)

Sam, this is tragic. I've so enjoyed getting to know you, and really will miss you as a friend. I do hope you will return to us if you get the chance. You will always be welcome here, and sadly missed. Good luck with your studies, and thank you for sharing your lovely, wonderful self with us while you could.

That's a real shame for you and us, Sam. If you or your mum take a look at this, and I hope you do, then I'd definitely suggest she has a look around, and hopefully reconsiders.

My parents think I spend (=waste) too much time on the internet too, but I'm too old to be told what to do, so ...

I think this forum is one of the nicest most harmless forums there are in the whole internet and it's also both intelligent and fun at the same time (not only one or the other like many other forums). Your mum may be scared, because she's not familiar with it. She has a point and it's true that it's best not to reveal too much of your personal information to other people. You have to remember that it's not only other members who are reading your posts but many guests as well. I think that as long as you leave out family name, address and any kind of numbers (except age maybe) you should be quite safe.

Oh Sam! I'm so sorry! If your mom would be willing, I'd like to invite her to please browse through all of our forums. She'll see what a harmless website this is, and actually quite educational.

Sam is a college student, she's not a minor.

Awww Sam...I hope you can come back once in a while! I'll miss you too!
