Is my mom overreacting?

I'm 15 years old and my friend who's 17 asked me out a few days ago and I said yes. We decided not to tell our parents just yet. I lied about going out with friends when I really went out with him. And he came over as a surprise to our house when I was home alone so I called my mom and told her that he was here. I'm not the type to do anything bad and he isn't either. All we did was play with my puppy and talk.

We text and call each other a ton and she started to get insanely paranoid. Last night, I couldn't handle the questions and stress she put on me (it's finals week too) so I decided to tell her about our relationship today.

She went INSANE, I've never heard her be that mad before. I was truly scared of her, I didn't even recognize her. I talked to her calmly and tried to explain but she screamed at the top of her lungs. She says that the boy broke into our house and she was going to call him and call the police. It's a pretty long story.

Is she overreacting?

She even said she liked him and his personality when he was just a friend. Now she hates him so much. She said it was okay for me to have a boyfriend and now she never wants me to talk to him ever.

Sorry your mom is handling it this way. The way she is treating you may cause you to lie to her again in the future just so you don't have to deal with her outburst.. and that's not good. Yes you lied at first.. and you shouldn't have done that but she is really overreacting if in fact he did not break into your house.. on the other hand.. you said it was a pretty long story.. make it short.. did he or did he not break into your house? If he did.. she has every right to be upset.. but not to scream at you like that. Screaming never fixes anything.. in fact. it makes every situation worse. Try to talk to her calmly again and if she doesn't act like a mother should.. (Mature) than walk away and tell her you'll talk to her when she can listen without screaming at you. Good luck.

Yes, but you started it by lying to her. Give her some time to call down. See if you can enlist the help of a good friend of hers or a grandparent or someone she trusts to help talk things over with her.

She's afraid that you are or are about to become sexually active. She's afraid for you. She doesn't know what to say, so crazy mom came out.
And, since she now knows you will lie to her, she doesn't think she can trust you.

Yes, she is overreacting. How is she going to prove that he broke into your house? If the cops come explain your side to them.

Yes she is over reacting. 17 yr old boys only have one thing on their mind, which is making your mom freak. She doesn't want anything to happen to her little girl. Good luck.

When you lied to her, you set up a chain reaction just waiting to happen.
Is she overreacting? Yes. Does she have a right to? Probably. Right now she is envisioning everything that *could* have happened between you two. After all you lied to her once, what's to stop you from doing it again?
Give her some time to cool down. Then ask to talk with her calmly. Explain why you felt you needed to lie, apologize and be preparped to answer ALL of her questions as thruthfully as you can. Do not expect her to trust you again for a while.

why would this be such a big deal to her!? because of the age difference!? honestly, that's nothing. 2 years is NOTHING, especially since you were friends before; it's not like he's some random guy who wants to take advantage of you or anything.
You only kept it from her for a few days you said, so it's not like you've been seeing him for a year or something!

just give her some time to cool down. It might have just been a shock for her.
If not, talk to her again. She seems way out of line to me...

good luck xo

it may be pretty scary around house but just try to be in your room or kitchen shell be mad for a while but i think she definitly is overreacting thats to much my friend dated a 18 year old but her mom never got mad her mom just said you should brake up with him his not the right person for you but the mom was right because the boyfriend did drugs and stuff the girl broke up but there was nothing intense.
