My mother said to me that my friends are a bad influence to me for they go out night, party goers but for me they are the only person who cares for me when i am down, who pitch me up when i am lost and the people who never judge me for who i am. they never ask for return. But my mother insisted that i will be grounded if i go and hung up with them...what should i do...?

It is very difficult to say who is wrong and who is right. You are the only person who have the answer right now. Because you know the personality of every friends and your mother. Maybe your mother is right. Or maybe your friends are right. Understand the both prospects. Then do what you want. Because whatever decision you take, it will effect you only.

Yep, I agree. You're 23 yo so wise enough to make your own decisions. Your mother was your age once and more than likely couldn't agree with her mother always as well. Young people like to go out and have some fun. That's part of life. I did exactly the same and can't say I became a bad guy. Going out has NOTHING to do with that. Ok, if it affects your daily life too much your mom got a point.
Good luck and happy Mylotting!

Thanks a ton for the discussion. Well i can understand that u must be confused about whom to support. But i think u should listen to your mother as parents always think about the betterment of their children and even if u think that your friends are the ones who support u all the time then u should prove it to your mother without arguing with her. I am sure she will understand u very well.
What say?

All mothers would only want what is best for their children. They are always fearful that something bad might happen to their children. They become over protective to the extent that even if the children have grown up, they would still be trying to run your own life. I think if your mother is getting to strict over you being with your friends most of the time, you just need to talk to your mom and assure her that your friends are not that bad and that you should also prove to her that even though your friends seem to be partying that much, they are good friends that you can depend on. But most importantly, if you are still a student now, you must prioritize your studies over partying or going out with friends.
