When You Are Oppressed, Or Ten Weighty Reasons for Teenagers and Their Parents

My mother holds fully to the "For all you know you could be talking to some 40-year-old pervert petifile!" thing. I did tell her that this is a very family-friendly site, and that any problems of the creepy-git variety are quickly dealt with, but she gave me a patented maternal look and just said "You just be careful" in this tone she's got.


Oh, how familiar that sounds . My mother is convinced that anyone who speaks to me over the internet is a criminal. Mostly I just growl and point out how strict the BW is.

My mum gets upset at me if I give out info like "I have a younger sister". Seriously...who could stalk me with that? Not that I pay attention to her or anything...I'm not stupid.
