Question Posted Tuesday September 21 2004, 3:50 pm
My mom doesn't think I should have a boyfriend but I'm 13!!! I think this unfair because a lot of my friends have boyfriends. I had to reject three people I might have said yes to, including the guy I like.I try talking to my mom about it but she just won't budge. I can't have a boyfriend until highschool!
chaos answered Wednesday September 22 2004, 1:36 pm: I didn't date until I was 16. You don't have to be like your friends. And she might not object to a chaperoned date. I know it sucks to drag the parents, but you are too young. Begging her is not gaining you any ground whatsoever. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]

l3fty14 answered Tuesday September 21 2004, 4:52 pm: okay this might not be the best way to handle the situation, but i say go out with who u want whether your mom will let u or not. theres really nothing else you can do. its not your fault that u like someone and they like u back. u cant help it. so u should just go out with *whoever* and keep it on the down low. sooner or later your mom will igve in and then u can mush about who ur goin out with.

MoonFisher answered Tuesday September 21 2004, 4:38 pm: Your mom is trying to stave off the inevitable. Teenagers are having more sex, contracting diseases, and getting pregnant. She just wants to protect you from this, which is frankly an ineffective way to do it. Telling your child NO is just going to make them lie to you, which is what you need to do. I am not encouraging you to lie to your mother, but not mentioning to her that you are dating someone may prevent her from putting a damper on your social life.

hotcherry answered Tuesday September 21 2004, 4:21 pm: Exactly what the other girl said...what your mom doesnt know, wont hurt her!! just be responsible. Orrr...Have your boyfriend..or soon-to be...come over and hang out. Dont tell your mom hes your b/f, let her think hes a friend...eventually she'll like him and that way it wont be so bad when you DO tell her. [ hotcherry's advice column | Ask hotcherry A Question ]

shawtyyX3 answered Tuesday September 21 2004, 4:15 pm: maybe if you waited till high school it might be better, because boys are nothing but trouble and mother knows best! it shouldn't matter whether your friends have boyfriends or not --you wouldn't follow them off a bridge would you? ..but if you feel like being a rebel, then just go out with the person you like in secret, i had to do that a few times because my mom didn't like the boys i chose, but it all worked out in the end! good luck!
rainbowcherrie answered Tuesday September 21 2004, 4:13 pm: I think you should just sit down with your Mom and explain to her that you're old enough and responsible enough to have a boyfriend and that you wont do anything bad with them. Tell her that a lot of your friends have them and they're perfectly fine with it and they don't do anything iresponsible. Ask if you can have a trial run with the next guy who you like who asks you out. Say that if you go okay and responsible with this one then she'll see that you can be trusted. If all else fails, turn on the tears and beg! [ rainbowcherrie's advice column | Ask rainbowcherrie A Question ]
karlyndarlin05 answered Tuesday September 21 2004, 4:10 pm: ok listen up hun. you should listen to your mom even if you think shes completly 100% wrong. My mom was the same way. and i listened to her. I didnt have a boyfrind until my freshamn yr of h/s. Its ok, think about it, in middle school you cant do anything at all, but once you get to highschool there are less rules, more dances and just plain old more fun. trust me on this one, it'll work for ya in the long run!
hope i helped! [ karlyndarlin05's advice column | Ask karlyndarlin05 A Question ]
LilMia811 answered Tuesday September 21 2004, 4:01 pm: 13 is still kinda young, your Mom is probably being over protective becasue she sees all these 13-14 yr old girls on tv, that are out having sex, and having babies and stuff, and she probably paranoyed that soem boy may pressure you and you be stuck in those type of predicaments. What you need to do is is sit and explain to your mom, that you are not that type of girl, and you won't make those mistakes, because you are not intrested in those things. Let her know, yeah you like boys, but no you are not stupid. [ LilMia811's advice column | Ask LilMia811 A Question ]
