Hey everyone! My name is Kristen, I'm 20 and I'm a college junior studying pharmacy. I've been blessed with a really good life, and part of the reason for that is because I've learned to see GOOD in everything that happens to me. I love giving advice, and I've been told that I do a good job at it, but I'll let you decide! Feel free to ask me anything... don't be shy, that's why I'm here. I've been through a lot... moving from one country to another, leaving and finding new friends, break ups, boys, middle school, high school, college, self esteem issues... pretty much most things that people need help with.
I usually spend a good amount of time answering your questions, so I would really appreciate it if you leave me an honest rating along with some feedback (good or bad!) It really does help me improve my advice... and in the end, that's good for YOU! Talk to ya soon! :)
advice
hey since my school has a half day on friday of this week, and the movies is right down a couple of blocks, my mom is letting me go with my friends. im 15. she wanted to know who was going and i told her all of my friends (they are girls) and i didnt tell her i invited my bf and hes coming too. she said she doesnt want me going on a date alone w/ him because she thinks im too young to date and she doesnt trust him. how do i tell her that my boyfriend is coming too with out her saying something like "oh well he cant go"?
Thanks.
I rate 5s
i think you should be honest (even if it means that she won't let you go)! think about it... she doesn't want you going on dates alone because she thinks you are too young and irresponsible! if you lie to her and she finds out, you will be proving her point, and she will begin to treat you even more like a little kid. by telling her the truth you will be showing her that you can be responsible and honest, and that will help build her trust over time. anyway, just tell her that a couple of girls are going (maybe even give her names) and then tell her that your bf is coming and he MIGHT bring one friend. this makes it sound more like a couple of people getting together to hang out, and not a date. plus, maybe she will feel better if your bf DOES bring a friend, because that way she will know that all his focus won't be just on you, but it will be shared between you and his friend! hope that helps!
(Rating: 5) Thanks! I never thought of saying something like that.
