Hi random.
Having other people to talk to is part of what psych is all about. No matter what our problem is.
Sharing our thoughts on what we think is wrong with us and feeling like we are the only people in the world that has this happen to us.
The other part of psych is listening to what others say and hearing the unspoken words each of us say.
Learning to fill the gaps of an answer you can relate to.

Being young and feeling all those hormones racing and trying to navigate your way in the world hasn't really changed.
Just the toys that we use to play with , be it cars planes or phones.
It is always exciting to see how far you can push the limits of society.
We just have to respect other people's views of what we can and shouldn't do.
Your mom was just trying to protect you from the world. But as we know that's what parents do.
Maybe if you talked to her about things and asked how she handled growing up it would be easier for both of you.
Hope that helped.
