am a 20 year old girl living at home . i cant leave because i go to skool and getting a job is way to tiring for me as i tried before but ended up getting fired in less than a week , my mother whom i live with is VERY well financially , yet she is not willing to get me my own place as she says am not responsible enough only cuz i had some issues with drinking before. anyways my problem which is really embarrassing 2 days ago i was over my friends house and we were bored and tried ( meth ) but it was my first time ever and i really JUST WANTED to try that is all ., my mom found out and she got really mad wouldnt even hear me she told me that am grounded for a week and she took my car keys ! imagine this an adult like myself being grounded at 20 for something so stupid and petty . what can i do ? i need to make her BACK OFF ! i don't deserve to be treated so poorly at my age . do you think SOMEHOW shez justified at what she did ?

Maybe try acting as a responsible adult-you would be "curb" living if I was your parent. Also as a newbie you come here????

I agree with the other reply - start acting like an adult and maybe she'll treat you like one.

Your mother was way too lenient!! Shame on her!!

P.S. I wouldn't give you a dime..You showed absolutely no responsibility. It would take you years to recover trust in my eyes.

Glad your mother is well off so she can afford rehab for you later.

I'm almost at a loss for words. You're still in skool? You just tried meth because you were bored? What grade are you in? If you are 20 years old, then NO, your mother is not justified in grounding you. She is, however, justified in kicking you to the curb.

On the other hand, it really is a shame that your rich mom won't pay for you to have your own place, since working is so tiring for you. Maybe you should contact the authorities.

Your 20 years old, your mother is not "legally" obligated to do anything for you.

Do you have any idea at all what meth can do to you? It's not like smoking pot or having a beer while you're underage. You're dealing with something that is extremely addictive and will destroy your body. Do a Google search under images and look for before and after photos of meth users. If that doesn't sink in there's probably no hope for you. Your Mother was acting responsibly and you were not.

I know EXACTLY how you feel.

When I was 16, my mom refused to buy me my first slave. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!?! I mean, c'mon!!! THEN she tells me to take my dead-cat-and-dog collection outside to air out! GEEZE!!!

But I fixed her...she won't be bothering ME anymore...I dropped a hit of acid, then threw her down into that dark, stinky hole in the basement. Now, if it doesn't put the lotion on its skin, it gets the hose again! Hahahahahaha...

If you were my child and I found out that you had been doing drugs in my house, you and your would be on the curb so fast you wouldn't know what hit you. You are disrespectful and as long as you act like a child you should be treated like one.

If you want to be an adult, get a job and move out! That's what adults do.
