Justus,
I'm about to be 17 and just started living with my mom after being a runaway for three months. During that time, I made friends with people who were not good for me. However, I still feel I need to cling to these people and be there for them.

As I write this, one of the girls I was closest to is in prison and will be there for a long time. I have to pretend to be fine and act as if I don't care for her, but I do, desperately. My mom refuses to be understanding and talk about anything with me. I don't know what to do. -

Hello Terry,

You must understand your mother position as a parent, you were not only a runaway, but she nearly loss you to the streets. You were exposed to the criminal elements of the streets that could derail your future. Do you not know who you decide to hang with influence your mind and decisions? I know you want to consider yourself "keeping it real" but there are different ways to do that without exposing yourself to any more trouble. Why not put money on her books?- This way you will be still helping her and she will still see you as one of her best friends. This method would also please your mother because it doesn't require contact. A friend is person who's supportive, in your friend's position, she is a victim of her lifestyle choices and your mother simply doesn't want that for you. Work with your mother by just being a financially donor, you win both ways.

I still would like to hear how she's doing. I just won't tell my mom. I don't think she'll be happy with mesending her money either.
