Why are my friend's parents doing this?

ok, i’m a 13 year old female. so i’m in the 8th grade, i met this girl who is one of my best friends. she is one of the first people i met when i first started middle school. ok, u know how there are “groups” at school… popular gothic emo nerds… and that kinda stuff… well i’m in the middle…i talk to everyone… but i love the color Black and so, i wear eyeliner,some black types of clothing, and so does my friend…well i went to her house like 5 days before i started the 8th grade…and when i got there, i met her mom and all, and the day went well, we were just to best friends… well today is like 1 week into school and ive seen my friend at school, she still dresses the same, and so do i. well i called her 3 times already…on different days. and i thk its her dad or older brother that answers the phone…i ask for her, and they say she is not here. and so the next day at school…i ask her…where was she yesterday when i called? and she says…what do u mean? i said, i called you like 2 times this week and they always say no that u are not there at this time… she said, what? i was there. they didnt tell me any thing. i just really want to know why…her parents are doing this to me…why dont they let me talk to her on the phone…is it that they thk i am a bad influence to her? i mean…all of her friends wear Black all the time. oh yeah…i forgot to say…her mom is catholic…or how ever u spell it. but, he mom has met almost all of her friends, and they dress worser then me, to where they actually die their hair Black, and wear nothing but black…and me, i have straight short hair, to my sholders now…cuz i got it choped…and eye liner…and maybe a black T-shirt with blue jean pants and white tennies and a white sweater for when they have the A/C on…why are her parents making a big deal out of me…when all of her other friends wear ALL Black?

Answer #1

I don’t know why but maybe they just don’t like you for some odd reason. You seem like a cool nice person too me. ? I don’t get it either though. Hmmm. Have you asked your friend what she thinks?

Answer #2

Ok i think maybe it is just because they dont like you im not realli mean buh i noe were ur coming frum but how do they act around you well maybe they just dnt like u because alot of my friends mothers dont like me because how i akt

Answer #3

yeah, she is point blank too… i mean, its not like any thing is wrong, we are just friends. she wears kinda all black. and so does all of her friends. i am a respectful person. and so, i dont go saying bad words…thats something i dont do. so her mom and dad cant say i am a bad person. first of all… all i wear is eye liner and stuff, its not like i wear complete black…like them. i dont like wearing all black…its weird. =/ like me. =P lol.

Answer #4

Alot of parents are scared of the goth look/society and prob think they are protecting their daughter by keeping her friends away as much as possible. Your friend needs to talk to her parents and find out why they are doing this. As long as the way you dress doesn’t affect your personality or school work and is not a bad influence on her then they shouldn’t be worried but she needs to talk to them.

Answer #5

well…lik u said her mom is catholic so she might b disturbed by what u wear and what her daughter where as well…i know what u r going threw and im not tellin u 2 disrrespect her or anything!..but 1 day when u call u ask 2 speak 2 ur friend and if they say she’s not here say o thats good cuz i wanted 2 talk 2 u! express ur self tell them how u feel cuz this mite jus b the girl u ride or die with and they r jus gona hav 2 get use 2 that! and 1 thing dont eva change how u r 4 anybody do u! from:..ur new friend

Answer #6

I’d have your friend ask her parents if they think you’re a bad influence or some other reason why they limit contact…or your friend may already know, ask her to level with you…Good luck !!

Answer #7

Have you ask her Parents point blank. . . .
