answer:Many people go through these kind of emotional upheavals during their mid-teen years. You are pushing for your own independence and your parents are still trying to hold onto your childhood a few more years. A couple of things to consider.: First, you will be imposing upon the kindness of others and while this may be a short term solution, if you overstay your welcome you will find yourself under even more stress and emotional turmoil. Your friends parents might be willing to have you over now but it will be a hardship on them eventually and they do not need to be in the middle between you and your parents. Keep this in mind if you decide you need time away from your family. Second, I would also add that leaving or running away will not make the situation between you and your parents any better; the only way that will happen is through coming to some kind of arrangement or compromise between each of you and that is a lot easier speaking to each other, not running away. Do it face to face. Finally, I am not real sure what you are trying to say about your mom, it seems odd that you would complain that she wants to listen to you. Can I ask you to clarify what you mean? In short, I cannot tell you how to convince your mom you should leave but I would advise you that if you are convinced that you need to do it then to do so on a short term, temporary basis for the sake of your relationship with your mom and with your friend and his/her parents. And for your sake, keep talking to your folks.
