I take it you are in the UK or Austrailia based on we don't call Mom's, Mum's here. Encourage your Mom to take you to a youth support group. It would be a big help to both of you. For you, just knowing you are not alone is a big confidence builder. For your Mom, interaction with other Moms to help her understand that her feelings are unjustified as this is a very real situation that she must address. https://www.susans.org/wiki/Telling_your_parents https://www.susans.org/wiki/Telling_your_parents_-_Part_IIHope you can get her to join you. The road is hard enough without having to deal with parents reluctance. As a parent myself, my biggest concern is that my kids, live their lives, not mine. Best of luck to you sweetie. Dawn
