ok, i lied and i'm nervous. i've secetly been talking to someone that my mom didn't want me to talk to just because she's selfish and he doesn't *meet her standards* well, i'm afraid she's going to find out by reading my text messages or something. what do i do? i want to keep on talking to this person. but, what do i do?
If you want to stop feeling guilty you have to do
one of two things. Stop talking to him or tell her you want to talk to him and make her understand you aren't up to anything but talking.
I don't think she is being selfish, she is just trying to look after your best interests and keep you safe. :)
*** I agree. If she just doesn't want you to date him because she considers him "ugly" then that is indeed pretty wrong of her. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and if you find him good looking then she has no business interfering.
I think you need to explain to her that your idea of hot and hers are 2 different things. She isn't the one doing the dating so she really needs to mind her own business and let you choose your own boyfriends. Don't be...well, you know don't get the teen attitude going when you talk to her. There isn't nothing can PO a parent more! But talk to her calmly and in a grown up way. Let her know you aren't a child anymore and
picking your own boyfriends is part of growing up. At some point a mom needs to back off and let the chicks do their own thing (within reason). Some moms have a hard time accepting that thier daughters especially are growing up. :)
Lola answered Tuesday August 8 2006, 3:46 am: This person you are talking to is your friend and not your mother's friend, no offense caused, so if i were in your place, i would have continued on talking to him all i like, because as long as i wasn't doing anything wrong ,then why would anyone stop me for having a normal conversation with him. And besides, thats really mean to think of someone as of lower class than ourselves or atlease that this person doesn't meet our standards, because we are all the same and there is no difference between anything of us.
And if you want to stop feeling nervous and worried, trying talking to your dad and telling him about it and taking his permission to talk tothis person, and tell him what i told you now, and if he agrees,then you shouldn't feel worried anymore because at least one of your parents agrees for you to talk to this person.
But if things don't work out,then please be free to contact me, and i will come up with another suggestion. [ Lola's advice column | Ask Lola A Question ]
