xpianogirl89x answered Friday August 20 2004, 2:09 pm: Confront your parents. Tell them or show them how responsible at home and at school you can be... Tell them " I always help out when I'm at home and I get good grades at school, I'm doing just fine, why don't you trust me enough with a bf or even just my friends? It really hurts that I feel I can't be trusted to be on my own" Once your parents realize how hard this is for you let them know easily that you started to go out with this boy, and maybe even have them meet him... (I know embarassment city major!!) your bf sounds like he'll undestand though...
babygirl17 answered Thursday August 19 2004, 10:33 pm: I'm kinda going through the same thing. except my parents are over protective they are just.. i'm not sure.lol. But. for the boyfriend thing. I am dating someone my mom cant stand.. she really hates him. and I'm not sure why. but he wants my mom to know about us and accept it.. and I dont want to tell her because I know she will try and break us up.. So I think you should tell your boyfriend how your parents are.. and how you think they will react.. thats the only advice i can give you. because your young. and you pretty much have no other options. either keep the boyfriend a secret. or tell your parents and face what they are going to say. I hope this helped..

Then tell your parents, that you think they are being overprotective and you would like to make a few changes. Then if they agree you can also say something about your boyfriend. Hope I helped!!!

sarcasm_rocks answered Thursday August 19 2004, 8:27 pm: you need to talk to your parents. tell them that they can trust you to be responsible enough to go out with your friends and be home by the agreed time. i'd start off by trying to convince them to let you go out once a week, and build up from there. they'll realise how mature you are and will probably feel more comfortable about letting you go out. then you can tell them you have a boyfriend. i'd advise you to bring him home for them to meet, so they know he is responsible and can be trusted [ sarcasm_rocks's advice column | Ask sarcasm_rocks A Question ]
snowwalker69 answered Thursday August 19 2004, 6:24 pm: Hey there. Well, you should tell them, and if they get mad, tell them it is your life, and you made the decision to date him, and they can't force you to not date if you want to. I pity you, I really do. It's cruel for your parents to make decisions for you [ snowwalker69's advice column | Ask snowwalker69 A Question ]
Way2InLuvWitU answered Thursday August 19 2004, 6:22 pm: ok well your parents sound really tough but try talking to them and showing them that you are responible enough to go to the movies by urself before u drop the bomb and tell them that u have a bf ... but dont keep it a secret for too long bc they lies add up and they will prolly catch on. try doing extra chores and really showing them that your not a baby and u can do things on your own [ Way2InLuvWitU's advice column | Ask Way2InLuvWitU A Question ]

cutie_babee answered Thursday August 19 2004, 5:39 pm: Just be nice and explain to your parents that your old enough to make your own decisions and you want to have a boyfriend(even though you already have one) and also remind them your 13 and you don't need to be held on a leash like a dog...and just ask your parents for confidence and trust and if sumthing goes wrong they can go back to being over protective you know
Dom answered Thursday August 19 2004, 5:37 pm: Well what you should do is talk to your boyfriend about what is happening and whats going to happen if you tell your parents. Or what you can do is have your boyfriend come to visit and be polite and everything for your parents to accept him then later on they will probably go ahead and give you permission and go with him. And also what you need to do is probably talk to your parents and say that you are old enough for to going out with friends and such cause even teenagers have to have fun these days. i hope i helped you.
