Ok, I'm 17 and me and my bf just broke up. Well, i'm not suppose to talk to him ever again and I did. Huge mistake, but now he's saying he will tell my mom we've been talking if I don't see him or do what he wants me to do. What should I do?

Tell your mom the truth before he gets the chance to use it as blackmail and just explain to her that you know it was a mistake and that you won't do it again. Don't allow him to blackmail you on something this minor where you can fix it yourself. [ dancinqueen08's advice column | Ask dancinqueen08 A Question ]

You could say something like, "I talked to X today. I now understand why you don't want me to talk to him. He is so manipulative. I am totally not going to do that again." The power is yours and you NEVER have to do anything that you don't want to because of what someone else is threatening to do. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]

mysticpixie05 answered Sunday December 12 2004, 8:43 pm: well if you still like him then still talk to him and if you dont and you are scared not to be with him because of him going to tell your mom you were talking to each other again, then just tell your mom your self and tell her that he wants you to do things that you dont know what they are or even if you want to do them. this is sorta like blackmail. get your self outta this as quickly as you can before someone winds up hurt, especially you.
