Question for all teens: Is your mother having a difficult time handling the fact that you're growing up?

I'm currently 17. My mother wasn't ever really smothering, but maybe had trouble accepting me as an adult. It's resolved and all is fine now, but I can imagine how hard it is for a mother to adjust. I guess the important thing is that you maintain the healthy relationship you have, and you will see it change into more of a friendship. And more importantly, if you think the relationship is difficult for you, let her know how you feel. :)
