My Parents Won't Let Me Date At Age 13
(Age:13) I have a problem with my parents. They don't realize that I'm
not a little girl anymore and that I'm into boys! They get mad if they
see me talking to a boy and I get grounded! How can I make them realize
that they are way over protective? PLEASE HELP ME!!
ADVISOR REPLIES:
You have to explain to your parents that you are at the age where it is only natural for you to be interested in having friends of the opposite sex. Tell them that this is the only way that you can get a feeling for the real world by interacting with the opposite sex as well as the same sex. Tell them that the way that they shelter you is keeping you from communicating with some of the people that you wish to communicate with. Tell them it's not like you are involved with them in a sexual way but just on a friendship basis. Best of luck.

Well this is a hard stage for your parents and you. You're growing up
trying to see the world for yourself, while your parents are trying to
censor the world for their little girl. Have you ever read a view from
the bridge?? its the same situation your parents just can't let you go.
Sit down and talk them. Tell them that you'll always be their little
girl, but you are getting interested in boys and seeing the world from a
different perspective.-Dustin
