Your friend agony aunti don't think its about geting your parents to understand, its more like understanding why they need to be that way. You say you are all chilling out and noone has made a move but the cool 15 year old guy blows in your ear to turn you on. Read your question again carefully, if you still can't see clearly why your parents are concerned that you are putting yourself at risk then get an older person you respect (not a friend,friend) to read it and give you their opinion...your friend

For your first problem, your parents not trusting your friends, I think it's understandable that they'll be worried. You're hanging around with boys, some older, and your parents are probably worried that you'll get into a trouble or do something you might regret.

What kind of group do you hang out with? Are they seen as trouble makers? This is another reason why your parents could be worried and don't like your friends.

I don't think it's a good idea to sneak around at night, because one day you will get caught, and that will give your mum more reason to disapprove of your friends.

Perhaps if you ask your mum nicely, you could invite them over, (a couple at each time) so your mum can see a nicer side to them and this may change her opinion of them.

If it still doesn't work out, then you'll have to accept that they won't like all of your friends, but they also have to accept who you hang out with.

My mum doesn't approve of some of my friends, mainly because they are 'stereotyped', and think they have a big influence on me. They do to a degree of course, but I still know my own mind :). Your mum may be thinking along the same lines.

Now, about your crush! Sounds like he's either winding you up or trying to make you jealous, there's a good chance he does like you. If you want to see if anything progresses, you could go with the flow and see where it ends up, or you could do something about it now and tell him you like him. Try to spend some time alone with him before you do tell him.
