So yes, it is okay to not love your mom. In your case, if you feel that you want to have nothing to do with your mom now or in the future no matter what, that is up to you. You have the relationship you have, and that is just the way it is. Please, whatever the feelings you have honor them.

Prove that you are trustworthy, or agree for them to put parental controls on your phone. You can do this by letting them check your phone whenever they want, and keeping your search history up so they can check that too. Over time, they will be confident that you are not doing anything you are not supposed to.

Tell them the truth. Tell them you were curious. Ask them to be happy you didn’t pick up a cigarette, as vaping e-juice has so far been found to be 96% less harmful than smoking cigarettes.

Tips

1. Don’t beg for your phone back.
2. Keep your grades up to show that you’re responsible and ready to have your phone returned.
3. Occasionally ask if you have been good enough.
4. Try talking to your school counselor to call and convince your parents to give it back if you’ve been good for a time.

Talk to your parents about boundaries.

1. Remember they don’t have it “out for you” so don’t be afraid to approach them.
2. Be honest and open, but don’t attack your parents.
3. Just knowing that your parents are aware of what you are going through can reduce your feelings of annoyance towards them.
