Is it weird to still sleep with your mother?

Its not wierd yet not normal. She probably just needs to sense someone next to her in her vulnerable states (i.e. sleep). Most likely its just a case of feeling protected even when you're not alert and aware.

I agree with Holly K - this should not be on an internet forum.

However, to answer your question (in case other people are in a similar situation):

If this is something they told you (either the girl or the mom), respect their (both) privacy. If they're asking for advice, suggest them to a therapist to find out why she is having problems.

Otherwise, tell them you are not a health care professional (unless you actually are).

If she or her mother still want your advice (doesn't want to see a therapist), it could be that she is having trouble with boys, and she happens to not have a special someone in her life (boyfriend). Don't necessarily push her to get one, though.

It's ok to be close to your parents. However, if they are sleeping in the same bed, then I believe that constitutes as a problem. Even babies do not sleep with their parents. But especially an older teenager (16 year old) should not be sleeping with their parents, no matter what.

my lil brother still needs our mom to help him go to sleep sometimes but not too oftne now but hes 8 so if your 16 and still sleep with your mother talk to someone

In mainstream American culture, what you describe is unusual. Most people who don't have a spouse or romantic partner like to have their own room and their own bed and sleep alone there.

Honestly, that is a family matter that needs to be discussed with a doctor. It cannot be handled on an internet forum.

If they are not doing anything thatn it must be fine. If it makes her feel better at night then whatever. You shouldn't but into her personal business though..:/

first off, if it comforts your friend than it shouldn't matter to you at all.

what they do is their business TOTALLY not yours....

so please just leave be.
