My mom wont let me have social media anymore. I got my first phone in 6th grade. I got snapchat, instagram, and a whole bunch of other apps. In 7th grade she eventually went though my snapchat and got upset that I added people that she didnt know. I thought that was stupid then, I think it's stupid now. Obviously you're not gonna know all of my friends. She was upset that I had boys added. We didnt talk inappropriately, we only talked. She decided that she didnt want me to have it anymore. I was like "okay fine whatever." She read a story about snapchat trafficking and the location thing and really scared me with it. The reason I cant have instagram is my own fault. In 8th grade, me and my mom got into a huge fight. I was really resentful of her and I wasn't in a good place. I told some of my friends on Instagram. I was talking about how "she needs to get off my dick" and "I'm tired of her just being bitchy." I really colorfully explained the way I felt. I know that's not the best way to talk about your mom, but I was trying to get my feelings across. I complained about my brothers, and my mom. She got upset and went off about how shes trying her best to be a good mom and took my phone for a few weeks. She didn't like that I posted pictures, but they werent innapropriate,and I had a private account since that's what she seemed so worried about. I had online friends and that made her mad because apparently "you have no idea who you're talking to" and "you could be kidnapped." I'm in 9th now and I want Instagram again. I think Ive changed a bit. Do you think it's too soon? Do you think I even have a chance?
