my parents dont approve of my friends and are going to great lenghts to keep them away from me. but my parents have never met any of my friends and dont really no anything about them, they only judged them by their appearance. so now i am afraid that we will begin to driff apart and i guess not be friends anymore, b/c i havent seen any of them since school ended & im not going to the same school next year b/c of boundries and i just dont want to forget about all of my friends and just move on.
please help

People do that to me all the time, but do they ever stop to figure out that I make good grades in advanced classes, that I play on a select soccer team, that I'm an artist.. maybe a sort of decent one at that? If your parents just MET your friends, maybe they'd be different. You just have to set something up for something of that accord to happen. Because it's not fair to judge on appearance, that's not what the person IS.. I mean, would your parents want other people to judge them? Even though you are going to a different school, you can still hang out with friends. I have soccer friends that don't go to my school but we still hang out. But to sum it up, you have to get your parents to meet your friends, if you can't beat um join um. Try and follow their wishes and get your friends to tell them good things about themselves that will make your parents trust them. Just bring them to your house for a little while and let them talk, I'm sure your parents will be fine after that and if they aren't, please drop another message by. Best of luck.
