Question Posted Thursday November 30 2006, 6:55 pm
I kinda told some of my friends that my boyfriend and I made out because we're known as the "goody two shoes" couple at school, so people don't expect us to do anything, but thats not how we are. One of them told their mom, and shes telling other moms! How do I make sure my mom doesn't find out, and if she does, what should I do?

You shouldn't feel compelled to tell anyone about your private life, that will just make a name for yourself and people will eventually think you can't keep secrets, that you can't keep anything private.
And just remember, knowing something that other people don't is satisfying. So just try and decide what kind of image you would like to have. If you want people to think you're cool right now and tell them what they want to know, go ahead. But remember, later on in life, it will come back to haunt you. If you do this too many times, a bad image of yourself will slowly but surely be created.

What kind of relationship do you have with mom? If it is a good one then now would be a good time to have a talk with her. Us moms can be very understanding people. We were young not all that long ago!
I would tell her what happened and why you said what she did. Ask her how to handle it.
If you don't want to talk to mom, my guess is it will die out eventually on its own. It was pretty rude of that friend to do that to you though. Guess who's the goody two shoes now! [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
