stina agony auntHi there tontinha,

It sounds like your teacher is concerned. If you haven't told your mother about your relationship, then it sounds like you don't think she would approve. I'm sure that they have good reason to want to protect you from someone. But if you think that this guy is okay, then maybe your mom would understand. Then you'd have no reason not to tell her.

How old is this guy that you're dating? If he is over 16, then if you two have a sexual relationship (I'm not trying to say you have sex, I just honestly don't know and want to make sure you're informed) then there's a possibility that he could go to jail if your parents decided to press charges. (They can do this because you are a minor - even if you don't want them to.)

In short - what do you do? You tell your mom. And if you don't want to, then you break up with the guy. At least that's what I would do.

Take care.

I think you should tell your mum, but i dont really think your teacher has a right to. Just tell her you have a boyfriend and hopefully you and her can understand each other from there. I met my current boyfriend when i was 16 and told my mum about it as i knew she would eventually find out. She was annoyed at first but she met him and everything was ok. Ask your mum to meet him and give him a chance. You boyfriend should agree to this, hopefully your boyfriend has good intentions and she will see that he does.

Helen Help! :) agony auntHey Huni

Is this your first bf? and how do YOU think shes goin to react? see the circumsttances are different for everyone with my 1st bf i jus come out and told my mum and she didnt mind at all i was 16 tho and now well he sleeps at my house n lives here preddy much lol. but some mothers are more protective and seen as though your underage to have sex as well your mum could be one of those who thinks your jus goin to have sex and shell panic and go mad and not want you to have a bf. Then again she could accept you like a boy and be ok with it but not let him sleep over or let you go in your room so theres a number of ways she could react. Ide say that if your teacher is goin to tell your mum any way its better that she hears it from you so she doesnt think your hiding anything mums like to feel they are apart of there childrens lives and like to know that you can share things with them so try it it might not turn out so bad. Good Luck :)
