Help! Mom Thinks Im A Degenerate!!!!

[rippinguitarkid88]

ok i dunno if anyone here has delt with this. but ok well my mom thinks since i hang out with not so average kids (emo kids, skin heads, metal heads, etc.) they r affecting me. my mom says "They all look like the devil." also she thinks the clothes i wear and the music i listen to is affecting me. like i listen to metal which she has no problem with that but its the hardcore/deathcore/emocore with all the screaming that she hates. im in that type of band and im afraid she wont have respect for us and that if we do make it later on, she wont support us. also this is wut shes been saying

"i feel like since your listening to this and ur friends are like this, i feel they are influencing u in a bad way."

meanwhile she hasnt talked to like any of them and she doesnt kno them like i do. also a couple of weeks ago i wuz DEAD tired from school and when i wuz home i wuz talking to her and she goes "look at ur eyes. they r all red and dialated." cuz i wuz tired. i go "uh yeah so?" she says "its a sign of bad things." and also i have like problems with people criticizing me so when she does that i get mad. so now she thinks im on drugs.

well people im not. Im straight edge to an extent. i have drank before but not enough to get drunk. i dont see the point in drugs. but anyways, has anyone had this problem? i need advice on wut to do. ive tried talking and that does s**t. sry. peace out!

i have almost the same problem...my parents are aganst what i want to be when i grow up..they want me to be a marine biologist i wanna be a rock star...i've had thise problem for years they jsut can't stop judging me. I used to try to explain to them, but that just made it worse...then i ended up screaming at them...now i've just learned to keep quiet and write it all done...it makes for good writing material and when i become famous i'll get back at them through my songs....

i know it sounds really evil....but that's just me

hm yeah i can undersatnd how you feel and this is just an idea maybe if you share some interests with your mom like the music that shes likes for example the beatles lets say she likes that show her that you like that to an that your not just into that kind of music, me and my dad had some troubles with the music i listened to which wasnt even that bad sex pistols, buzz cocks etc.. an then i showed him that i like some of his bands led zeppelin, the beatles and he let em listen to my music as long as i took in other intrest you know what i mean? its just an idea.
