Influenced By Bad Experiences

I have a sister that is 6 years older then me, and the things that I get to experience really are based on her experiences.  Let's give some examples first:

• I can't go on real Leavers this year because my sister called up half way through crying and asked mum to pick her up.
• I can't go out with an older guy (and i have been asked out by three older people who I definitely did know and like) because my sister, when she was my age (16), went out with a 23 year old and had a bad experience.  And my guys weren't even that old!
• I don't have freedom - I can't go out to parties, and I can't stay home on my own for the weekend.

I'm so sick of this!  I understand where my mother is coming from and all, but it's a little bit frustrating.  Me and my sister are different people, and we take different situations differently.  Why should I have to suffer from my sister's bad experiences?!

I broke up with my boyfriend because I was afraid that my mother would find out that he's older.  This is a guy that I really like, and I miss him so freaking much, and I know he really loved me and I just want to talk to him again!  It's not like he's some crazy stalker or anything!

We met in January last year.  We only started dating in March.  I knew him pretty damn well, and I trusted him.  And I really, really like him, it's insane!

And everything is going wrong because of my mother.

I'm probably going to regret posting this, but it was good getting it out.
