current parenting issues
I want to tell my parents about this girl I want to go out with, but my parents have some current issues?
I'm 15 and planning on going out with this girl i've known for years and I want to know a way to tell my parents about her and when I want to go.
My dad will let me go but I am not sure about my mom, they are kind of old fashioned parents and will bug me about it until I see the whites of my gf's eyes.
My current issue is that my dad put on parental controlls on my computer and never told me so apparently I can't be trusted.
I can never talk to them about it so whats done is done.
Im not one of those bitchy little teenagers, I have a 3.6, have a job at the YMCA, most people think I am responsible and handle sitiuations well.
Well, I'm sure that they are going to find out either way. So, I would tell them. But not right away, start leading them to that situation. That's what I do to my parents and trust me, My parents are act similar to yours. 
but after our conversation, they are always saying, "*sigh* your growing up too fast. As long as you are happy. We are." and stuff like that. But if you don't tell them, trust me (again) parent know how to figure this stuff out. they WILL find out and once they do, and you haven't told them, they won't be able to trust you.
Good luck!
