    what rights would I have regarding education and privacy from parents??

    I have discovered that my mother has been calling my school. She has no reason to worry, she is just nervous due to recently going through a nasty separation. Is she legally entitled to information about my education as I am 18 now?? Or can I ask for school authorities not to divulge any information about me?

    You said it yourself , she is nervous. No doubt in legal terms you are an adult and as such have an entitlement to privacy. She also has the right to no longer provide for you ........ her obligations cease when you become an adult. You have no right to anything post 18 . So go down that road if you want but as you said yourself she is just getting over a nasty separation. Maybe your mother loves you and is worried that all that has had a detrimental effect on you and your studies.So if your mother isn't making a show of you and herself, give her the benefit of the doubt and behave like the adult you now are.

    Had a similar situation myself, called the place in question and told them not to divulge any information about me without my express consent, they said yes and, to my knowledge, this solved the problem.

    I normally wouldn't mind except it's starting to get very irritating and upsetting for me. She has been talking to teachers behind my back, and even trying to set up counciling sessions.

    It would be nice not to have the thought of her lurking around behind my back.

    Thanks

    I think its unfair to say that technically chedders mother has no duty towards her, Would i be right in saying that as a blood relative or more correctly a family member one would legally be obliged to assist their kin. So if chedder is not in desperate need their is no duty for her mother to get involved without her consent,however as blood relatives they owe each other a duty and should mitigate their relationships,I think chedder is behaving like an adult and they should look out for each other but with the consent of both parties. I dont like this your on you own now crap!. That false and demeaning. Your never on you own and may you be blessed with a good family.

    Yes I wouldn't mind if she had told me but she has been sneaking behind to call for no apparent reason. We do have a good relationship but i think this secrecy is staining it. I think that if i were to legally stop her it would be less stressful for both of us

    I have to agree with Pirelli, I think it's compleatly unfair parents to kick the children out once they are legally aloud. They should support their children untll they are able to support themselves and feel able to do so.
