Today my mom walked in on my boyfriend and I having sex and now she doesn't trust me at all. I'm not allowed to have guys over and I knew that before today. But now it's all awkward between my mom and I and she expects me to feel terrible about what I've done, yet I don't and I can't! I don't think sex is a bad thing and I may be young at 17 but it was my first time and I was safe. I know we'll never see eye to eye on this but I just don't want this to be all messed up anymore. I pretty much feel like an idiot though, and she's making me feel worse. But even though I broke the rules I still don't feel like my decision was that horrible. Help? Anyone? Thanks.
Let her bring up anything else. At 17, you're legally old enough to be having sex most places, and at this point you've made the decision, she doesn't really get a say.
If she doesn't want you bringing guys over, thats her right, and its your responsibility to respect that (or to make damn sure you don't get caught again). I'm not going to pretend a guy won't ever end up over at your house again, but at the very least she deserves to believe you're being obedient and have some trust in you.

Just talk to her most moms will understand and if not dont worry she will get over it. Hope i helped =] [ Sami143's advice column | Ask Sami143 A Question ]

I had my mom walk in on me and my boyfriend not having sex but messing around and honestly go to her and say I did what I did and I can't take it back. I don't think sex is wrong and yes I know I am young but I was safe. I am almost 18 and you need to know tha tI am going ot make my own decisions weither you agree with them or not. Seriously I did that and it didn't solve everything but it helped. It opens there eyes to know that your not a child and your not stupid.
So...I hope this helps and next time make sure you don't get cought!!!! Good Luck! [ sjack2's advice column | Ask sjack2 A Question ]
