writes: Dear Cupid,Hi I'm 15 years old and my parents are fairly strict. I have a boyfriend and we've been going out for about 6 months now and Ive seen him in person once before I moved and that was the first month of us going out and more about when it hit the 3 month mark of going out we go to the movies every weekend and we thought that wasn't enough of seeing each other, so i started to invite him to my house because he has his own car and i don't. I started to get like a regular thing until one day i invited him over and my dad was also coming to pick me to go see a game. So my boyfriend came over and we were just making out and then my dad hunked his horn telling me to come out. My boyfriend was still over and i told him to go out the back door. Good thing i live in a townhome so my dad thought that he just came out the next door neighbors house. but i forgot to lock the backdoor back and put the garbage door back and when i got back home my mother asked if i used the back door that day and i said no and she said well it was unlocked and the garbage can was moved and it was footprints coming from the door going around the corner of the neighbors house. so now she is convinced that he came over and now i surposedly cant see him again. What do i do to be able to see him again? Reply to this Question Share |

Sometimes, parents could get very overprotective of their kids especially when it's their daughter, such as yourself.
Does your parents know that he comes over? or not? because you got me confused at the end.?
alot of times parents can punish you unfairly, because they ASSUME that he was over (well he really was in the house but they didn't know that) without actually seeing him using the backdoor.
In their head, they make up the worse case scenerios than what it really is and so they punish ridiculously.
in this situation, you could open up to your parents and tell them the truth that he has been over a couple of times. And maybe ask them if it's okay for him to officially knock on the door while your parents' are in the house to see you.
yet, it all depends on how you parents are open to you.
some parents are "Their way or the high way" and some are open minded about alot of things.
