In fact they know nothing about my friends, cause we dont talk about that at all. Its impossible for them to accept my male friends. I love my parents but they dont accept some stuff that seem totally normal to me.they knew once (i was 18 i guess) i was texting this friend from school, and they took away my phone for a while. now im best friends with this boy!I dont have a boyfriend and i dont need one; but i really need my boy friends..I dont know what to do, what do you guys think? is it okay if they dont know about all this? am i being a bad daughter?

 You are a great daughter. You are also an adult and can make your own decisions in life. If you feel they will disagree with you having male friends then you don't need to tell them. You are not doing anything wrong.

You are obviously a great daughter because you respect them enough to even consider stopping. You are loving and protecting them by not telling them.

 Its okay that they dont know about this. You are adult now. You should choose your own friends. But just as well to not cause unnecessary drama with parents. They dont need to know.
