Did you ever walk down the street, meet an old friend or an aquaintance, and find that they know specific details about you (your schedule, activities, events) that you had only told one person?

Well, I don't want that to ever happen. So far I have managed to avoid it, but I know it is possible, I just had the luck not to meet them yet. I know that my mother has told people things, my personal business which I believe is no business of my mother's let alone their's!

If I tell my mother something, I expect it to be just a conversation between a mother and daughter, not the ears that come after. I don't expect to hear it from others' mouths next week. I don't want my personal conversation to be gossiped and go down a game of 'telephone' or 'operator'.

Right now, I can't help myself, I can't do anything. I'm just watching my mouth and my actions a little more. I'm not used to regulating the words out of my mouth so it is uncomfortable yet, but I expect to be good and silent when my eighteenth birthday comes.

Perhaps I shall give an ultimatum that day or sometime around then or maybe not say anything at all. She should be fine with not knowing anything beyond the basics of my life. A cell phone number is good enough, no?

If I stay in the city, I want my own place. I need to get away, the two of us need ROOM, SPACE. We need it and I'm gonna find a way for us to get it.

That sucks.. for people to find out of things that you dont want them to know from the one person you thought you could trust. Well only a telephone number sounds nice and the answer to the questions asked over it is simple and ambiguous.. About 2 more months till you're 18 eh? Have fun.

Well, I haven't had it happen to me when I was walking down the street, but random people sometimes approach me to inform me that they know where I live. :P

Alright, alright. So maybe strangers telling me they know exactly where my house is isn't quite the same as your situation. :P

You're quite a prolific writer if you can do two papers in four hours. :0

is it that bad for people to know your daily activities? it's not like they know what problems you have or your weakness and such? if these people know more than your daily activities ... that's really an intrusion to privacy.

You know...
...you could just not tell her stuff. Is this like "ooh boyfriend" stuff or something more serious? If it's just drama it's better just to keep parents out of the loop.
