writes:Ok, well, Me and my boyfriend have been together for 2 months. I'm 16 and he is 19. The only time I ever get to see him is when I am with my friend. I've had a bad past with guys and he knows this. But I am scared to tell my mom about having a boyfriend, cause I am scared of what she will say. I have no idea why it is so difficult for me. But I really want to tell her, because I just want to have a normal relationship for once. Me and him really love each other, and I don't want this to end. Not now anyway. Can you all please tell me what I should do? Or give me suggestions on how I should tell my mom? Reply to this Question

I agree with jinxx. important a mum with to teenage girl 19 and 14. The worse thing about being a mum of teenagers is the feeling that they are hiding things from u. My girls have told me about drugs, boyfriends, pregnancy and contraception. sometimes it is hard to think of your little girl growing up but sharing these things only strengthens your bond. your mum will have been through a similar situation when she was younger. she will probably be pleased and flattered that you have confided in her. good luck!

 My suggestion is to be honest with your mom, and tell her about your boyfriend and the length of time you've been together. Also tell her you were afraid to tell her, and why.
I know you're probably imagining all sorts of horrible reactions she might have, but to be honest, you're probably making a bigger deal of it in your head than it'll actually be when it happens.
Your mom was young once, too. I'm sure she remembers, and she'll be more understanding than you expect her to be. Parents react better to honesty, no matter how bad it is, than lying and hiding things. I bet she'll even surprise you and be supportive. Even if she's not, at least you told her and have it in the open.
