Bad boy, not-so-bad.


Question Posted Saturday February 16 2008, 10:46 am

I have been talking to this kid Alex, and to me he is a sweetheart and really fun to be around. He is friends with my sister, and ever since him and I started talking she's been getting mad. She never lets me talk to any of her friends at all, even though it would be them who started it.

Anyways, Alex hangs out with my sister's friends, whom I guess you can say are "bad." They do drink and smoke and what not, but really they are the nicest kids to talk to and hang out with.

Since my mom knows about all of the things my sister's friends do, she assumes that Alex does the same (which he does, but he's not as bad.)

Last night I hang out with him, and I had such a good time. There was no awkward silences or anything. Except my mom is very paranoid about him, and does not want me to hang out with him, although she said she is not going to stop me.

I don't know what to do. I really like Alex and I want to continue seeing him, but I don't want my mom to get mad at me whenever I want to hang out with him.

I need any type of advice you can offer, I would really apperitiate it.

You're mom doesn't know Alex, she may have judged him based on the people he hangs out with, but she doesn't know him. Maybe he can come over to your house; it'll give your mom a chance to meet him, and maybe be more comfortable with you seeing him.

If your sister doesn't have a good reason for being mad when you're with him then just ignore her, sisters will be sisters. We get mad for the sake of getting mad. If you're really concerned about why she's mad then talk to her about it.

Have her meet Alex without all of his friends around. It'll help her realize that he's not a bad kid. I personally think that smoking and drinking doesn't make someone a bad person, just as a person doesn't have to do those things to be considered bad. Once she realizes that he's not like his friends she's more likely to trust him (and you)

Good luck!
