My mom recently asked me if I was pregnant. I was horrified because I’m so dedicated to saving myself for marriage. This question really hurt me. It’s as if she didn’t trust me. The next day was my day off from the University. When she came home, she brought a pregnancy test with her. Obviously it came back negative. But she wasn’t even satisfied with that. She went to the pharmacy and told them that the test was wrong. They told her it had to be right. My question is, how can I forgive my mom. She really hurt me. I don’t think I’ll ever forget that terrible day.

Hi friend. It must be very difficult to live in a situation like that where there is no trust, but perhaps it's a blessing in disguise. I know your parents don't allow you to go to church. Maybe you could say something like this to your mom:
"Mom, I'm frustrated that you don't trust me. I try my best to be a good person. I don't go out with a ton of guys like that. But you're right in recognizing that it's very difficult to be chaste nowadays. TV is full of promiscuity. I have friends that got pregnant when they were teens. In my university classes there are dozens of young men flirting with me aggressively... Dozens!!! My goodness, what flirting!!! Sometimes I get to thinking that it wouldn't be so bad to be a young single mother with 10 or 12 children."
The famous 'octo-mom'
Then, right in front of your mom, start admiring this picture of octo-mom. That way, your mom will start to get really worried.
"But you know, mom, I'm not so sure that this is the life I want for me. I still haven't decided. It's too bad that I don't have a community to help me avoid so sad a fate. You know, there is a church on that street over there, the 'Church of Mormons.' I don't really want to participate. I found this book of theirs" ... then show her the book 'For the Strength of Youth' ... "But it only talks about not having sex. It seems like it's a religion without any sort of fun, to be sincere. I often see the young people of this church meeting together, but they don't even take advantage of the opportunity to be promiscuous. All they do is have classes that teach about Jesus. How the heck are they going to procreate outside of marriage if they act that way?!? Ridiculous, isn't it??? My goodness, I don't even know why I'm talking about this crazy church. If I participated in that church, I've never achieve my goal of being a young single mother with 10 or 12 children. I'd have to finish my university studies, look for a good job, and live a successful life. What do you think, mom? It would be better if I didn't go to that church, wouldn't it?"
Okay, I write this joking, but who knows if you couldn't convince your mom that way? Regardless, I sincerely hope your situation improves. It would be wonderful if you could worship with us in the church. Best of luck to you, sister.
