Traditional parents, not-so-traditional daughter

Tagged as: Family<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (2 December 2007) 3 Answers - (Newest, 2 December 2007)
A female United States age 30-35, *reeuh writes:

My parents have long been telling me not to date. 1) boys get in the way of studies, 2) boys can go too far. I met this guy, we've dating for a long time.. and yes, I know this doesn't sound real, but to me.. it's the real thing. I'm 16 years old, he's the same. I want to tell my parents about him but I just can't find the courage. I don't want them to feel betrayed, but I have been lying to them. I don't know what to do. HELP?

Meh.

Everyone lies.

And most teenagers do exactly what you're doing, lie about stuff to their parents.

So stop worrying and have fun, if you do something stupid then you laugh it off in a few years and blame it on 'youth'.

bqagirl2692 agony auntWell lying to them wasnt the way to go and that was a mistake but you should tell her your parents how you feel about the situation and let them know that you are getting older and you are starting to make your own decisions. Dont keep things from them anymore because they are your parents and they deserve every right to know what their daughter is going through whether they approve of it or not. Show them that maybe having a boyfriend isnt so bad after all and just how smart and mature their daughter has turned out to be. Respect yourself as well as your family. Talk to them about it.

well you should tell your parents about the boy tell them how great he is.Its better if you let your parents know then having them find out for themselves because then they will think that they wont be able to trust you.Just take a deep breath and sit down with your parents and let them know whats been going on. HOPE THIS HELPS
