Aw, that is hard! It would be insincere to say that you should just get over it, because I know how hard it is to stay focused on God and content with singleness when all or most of your close friends seem happily smitten with love. But there are three pretty good reasons to work on staying content!
#1- God has put your mom in authority over you, so respecting her rules is what God requires of you. By obeying her, you're obeying God, which always results in blessing, one way or another.
#2- Even though your friends are enjoying the freshness of new relationships now, chances are they will break up sooner or later. It's just the nature of high school romances, for better or worse. By saving your heart until you're older, you're sparing yourself the heartache of breakup after breakup.
#3- Charles Spurgeon once called contentment the "flower of the soul." The road God has asked you to walk down seems difficult, I know. But the character it is producing in you is beautiful, and will make you even more attractive to the right man at the right time.
If you're serious about getting your heart in the right place, spend some time looking up verses on contentment, obedience and jealousy. God's Word is powerful and relevant!
