My opinion is that as long as you're subject to your parents, living under the same roof, 18 or not, you're bound to it. I recommend reflecting on your mom's reasoning.
^This.

As for an oath, you really would need to speak to a true priest and discuss the entire situation with him.  He will guide you.  Your parents, of course, can loose you from an oath you took to them, but, frankly, it really doesn't matter if you took an oath to them or not.  As long as you are subject to them--and I agree with the above comment, as long as you live under their roof your are indeed subject to them--you have an absolute duty to obey them in all that is not sinful.  And I can say with absolute certainty that it cannot ever, in any way, be sinful not to chat with the people your parents have told you not to chat with.

I know that. What I am asking is if when I am 18 if I could make myself not bound by the oath I took.
I'm confused.  Did your oath include "until I'm 18"?

No but that was my intention. I may have just responded "I swear to God" to the statement from my mom cause she told me to do so. She may have listed the conditions and stuff but I don't remember.

Hmm.  I wonder whether you could discuss this with your mom.  Perhaps seek clarification on her demands?  Somehow I doubt she meant it to mean forever.  It sounds like this all may have gone down in anger (on both parts).  If she says she expects this as long as you live in her house, then you know them the rules.  I suspect that by the time you're 18, you're not going to care about it anymore anyway.
