My parents didn't want me to have a bf for ages. I started going out with guys at 13 and had heaps of boyfriends. I never told my parents about any of them. I finally met an amazing guy when I turned 16 and I really wanted them to meet him.

One day I just told everyone at the dinner table and they weren't angry or disappoint or strict like I expected. I think most parents just feel like they need to be strict and old fashioned and not allow you to have a boyfriend until you're like 20... but if you just tell them then they'll accept it like mine did. I've been going out with him for like a year now! It's amazing... :D

I think at 15 that is the age girls start exploring relationships so personally I'd be honest with your mom and explain that your growing up and mature enough to handle a relationship.

I think you show great maturity by introducing him to your mother at first maybe that would be the best way so your mom can see what kind of lad your boyfriend is. That way she gains trust in him and further trust in you.

It may just be your mom doesnt want you to grow up and she still sees you as her little girl. To gain her trust though I'd avoid things like going against her rules or staying out really late cos your just going to give her reasons to say you shouldnt have a bf.

well if your mom is strict enough that you get grounded or that you have to break up with him then i dont know wat to say. but if she is not that strict then tell her the truth she should under stand.
