I've never had a boyfriend, because my parents think I'm too young, and I think I am too. But now in high school (i'm a freshman) it's really hard not to want a boyfriend. Another thing is I don't know how to tell my mom that I like someone. Every time I do she always walks away or laughs. She won;t take me seriously. What should I say/do to make her listen. I just want someone to talk to! ;(
Judy101 answered Tuesday February 22 2005, 1:16 pm: Well, I think that you should just sit her down and talk to her about the problem. Make sure that she really gets where you are coming from and try to get her to understand how you feel. The only way she will ever let you go on a date is if she knows that you are responsible and ready. [ Judy101's advice column | Ask Judy101 A Question ]
BARBiE_D0LL_x3 answered Monday February 21 2005, 9:03 pm: I'm sorry! My parents told me I couldn't have a boyfriend when I was little, but I had my first REAL boyfriend in the beginning of 8th grade. I now have a boyfriend I've been with for over a year, and my mom's totally comfortable with that, and we go to eachothers houses like everyday. I think you should just sit your mom down and tell her you're serious, and then tell her how you feel, because in my opinion you should be able to have a boyfriend. If your mom doesn't approve, what she don't know can't hurt her. Just kidding, but I know, in HS you do like boys, and they like you, and it's hard to resist liking them. Don't let your parents control your life. Hope I helped! x3 [ BARBiE_D0LL_x3's advice column | Ask BARBiE_D0LL_x3 A Question ]
icey0990 answered Monday February 21 2005, 7:59 pm: Sit your mom down and tell her that your in high school now and you feel your ready and wanting to date and its part of what high school is all about. maybe your mom is laughing because shes the type of person to strongly beleive that people your age cant have a good relationship or be in love. If thats the case and she says this to you tell her you know your not getting married..and all you wana do is go out and have fun! maybe not quite that way because it sounds a bit hookerish lol..but just say having a bf and dating is something your ready for and to please consider it.
Write me back if theres any more troubles

Kels answered Monday February 21 2005, 7:28 pm: Yeah i had a boyfriend since feb. 2004, and im still with him and that was when i was in 8th grade, and my dad still hasnt accepted it, they will eventually- but for now try to be friends with the guys, and when you do go out with them, go out with a group of people. your parents are trying to protect you because i know that alot of my friends do alot with their boyfriends, and even just with guys, and that alot of them have already had sex one or more times, and some not with the same person, and that some would if they got the chance.
tell her that you are serious, and ask her what you need to do for her permission.
and if going out with a group would be okay.
*(exs- 3,4,or 5 girls and an equal # of guys, or unequal)*

br0ken_x_smile answered Monday February 21 2005, 6:03 pm: Talk to your mom about it and be like I serisouly like someone and I think that im old enough to have a realationship now because I am in highschool. She may not take you serisouly now, but think about it. If she doesn't take you serisouly now she may never take you serisouly. So you need to sit her down and have a heart to heart chat with her. Tell her that you want to have someone to talk to and not someone to laugh at you. Just let her know how you're feeling and then she will take you more serisouly.
Hope it helps,

angieroonie answered Monday February 21 2005, 6:02 pm: you have to tel her you need to have a serious conversation with her. sit her down and tell her that you like this boy and you wanna go out with him. tell her how hard she is making it for you and just tell her how much things have changed since she was a kid.
Karen answered Monday February 21 2005, 6:01 pm: My mother was just like your mother and the way that I got to finally talk to her was that I wrote her a note, saying that I needed to talk to her about something and that she couldn't laugh or walk away this time, and I put it somewhere that she could easily spot. When you finally get the chance to talk to her, just tell her that you like someone and that you think you are old enough and responsible to date. Tell her that she needs to start taking whatever you say to her seriously because you need to talk to her more often. Hope I helped :)
