My mother is freaking out. What to do?

I'm 16 years old and have never been brought up in any strict way. My mother and I always trusted each other well. But for about 2 months she's been acting like a madman. She took away my room key, changed my netflix password and forbids me to meet my boyfriend. When I was 14 I was always allowed to stay outside with my friends for a long time and had a lot of freedom. I was always home on time and everything was ok. Now I'm 16 years old and my mother says that if I'm not home at 7 p.m., she'll call the police and let my friends pick me up.

She goes crazy! What should I do?

I think it is good to have a conversation where you can discuss the topic. Is it related to

Have you done anything in the meantime, what shall I say destroyed the trust between you?

If not, just talk to her and see where her sudden change of heart is coming from. And if all doesn't work, you can still go "a little on the barricades", so just live as before. Because what does she want to do?

If I'm not home by 7 a.m., she threatens the police. But does the police do anything because I'm 16 and have rights

It is normal that your mother behaves like this now. She doesn't go crazy. She loves you very much and just wants to protect you. What a good mother who loves her child does. You can imagine that she is very worried about you. Right now at the age you are Probably because of guys and all that too. She certainly doesn't mean it badly. You will understand that better later than you do now. A lot of unpleasant things can happen at your age. Your mother doesn't want you to get hurt. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about. At 16 you can see a lot of things, especially boys through pink glasses, that you can regret badly later on. But at 16 doesn't want to understand.

Just go for it, parents also have to be brought up. If you just go along with it, you signal to her that that's okay. She'll think about whether she wants to have a theater like this every day. And if you're home at 4pm and not 7pm, the police will show your mother a bird.

My mother is freaking out. What to do?
The matter is clear. You're female and hang out with guys. I'm not allowed to write more because it is censored and against the nettiquette.

And because you're naive, and that's not forbidden, your mother goes nuts.

She doesn't want you to have to walk through life as a "single mother".

To understand your mother's fear… It's difficult. You want your freedom and it wants to protect you.

To start with, you could watch the TV show Aktenzeichen XY unsolved a few times so that you can see what could actually happen. Fortunately, nothing has happened to you so far, that's a good thing. But something could happen to you, that's why your mother is worried.
