parents

okay well, my parents are strict and very conservative about boys, they freaked out the first time i told them i had a boyfriend (gr.7) and they said i was too young. i understand why they thought that way, but i have another boyfriend now and i havent told them yet. they know who my boyfriend is but they just think he's a friend. so anyway, today i was talking on the phone with him and i heard noises that sounded familiar to the noises i was hearing downstairs. i thought nothing of it until i heard my mom talk very faintly, so i checked on my phone to see if someone was listening on the extension and SOMEONE WAS! so i went downstairs to check and my dad backed away from the phone guiltily. .. AND IT MAKES ME SO MAD cause he pretended like he wasnt doing anything and then he told me that he needed to use the phone. i can't believe he would eavesdrop for 20 or more minutes! why would he do that?! i dont know what he wants.

i guess i just want to know what i should do about my parents, because i think that they still secretly wish that i was still ten.

ps, my boyfriend knows my dad was listening in and now he says he's uncomfortable talking to me. i understand why, but now that makes me even angrier at my dad. i really dislike him right now.

parents do stupid things...personaly i dont like my parents eathier...or from the looks of it i dont like yours eathier lol but the only reason he did what he did was because he cares...but he deserves a good yelling at...REBEL!! DO WHAT YOU WANT!! MARCH RIGHT UP TO HIM AND TELL HIM WHAT A MESS HES MADE!! dont just let him get away with that! hes scaring yer bf! he had no right to do that. tell him that..speak out =) cherry

I totally agree with Sunny on this issue. You know, parents aren't stupid. Maybe your parents suspected that you had a boyfriend & felt they couldn't trust you to tell them, so they did what they felt they had to do.
I'll let you in on a HUGE secret... You will get to do a lot more if you PROVE to your parents that they can trust you. Don't expect them to trust you right now, you were doing this whole boyfriend thing behind their backs.
We have a teenage daughter, she was sneaking out of the house at 2 or 3 in the morning to see a boy. Then once, when we weren't home. snuck the boy in her room & was making out on her bed. Believe me, we DID NOT trust her after we found out. She has finally accepted the fact that she will have to EARN our trust again.
Right now I would say you are in the same boat as her. Different situation I know, but still a trust issue.
I wish you the best!

my parents are the sameway only i cant talk to guys on the phone period. even though my best friend is a guy i cant talk to him and i dont think a persons sex should be a reason you cant to that person on the phone. consider your self lucky from what i have to go through with my folks. their truly parinoid when is comes to a person having a penis and me. am i going to get into trouble for useing penis??? anyways, talk to your dad and see why he was listening in on the call. tell him he's sufacating(SP. god i dont know?) you and need your space.
thats the best i can say.

lots of people are talking about trust issues, but i think that's what ticks me off the most about my parents. i can't believe that they dont trust me enough to let me have a boyfriend! i think they should know me well enough and know that they've brought me up well enough to know that i wont have sex until i'm married. i think my parents believe that teenage girls who have boyfriends have sex at an early age and have kids at an early age. I'M NOT LIKE THAT! i dont drink, smoke, or do drugs at loud, chaotic parties on the weekends. why should they think i do anything worse?

dude im 14 and i can have a boyfriend but my parents wont let me date...i go to the movies alone all the time with friends but when it comes to guys they wont let me...they act like im going to get myself pregnant! thats not the way i was raised. i plan to wait too but they always keep a close eye on me. they even have a stupid chat monitor on my computer so they can see what i say on aim. its so gay...i hate it...so dont worry your not alone in this whole parents thing...mine are paranoied too
