Middle School Survival Guide

Love: Parents

This subject is the most complicated one of all, especially for girls. You now have a significant other, but you haven't told your parents. What if the don't let you date them? What I'd they make you break up? What if? What if? What if?!

Those are all reasonable questions and I have some answers, I personally have a very protective family, mainly made up of females, but it doesn't the gender if you hurt a boy or girl emotionally you better bet his\her family and friends are gonna have a talk with you. Haha just kidding not families are not that physical, but you get the jist so without further a do let's talk about relationships and parents.

OK first things first (I'm the realist #iggymoment) telling the parents, yes I know talking about your crush can be awkward at first, it's like having the other talk all over again! But trust me the guilt will eat you alive! It happened to me

STORYTIME......

I sat down at the table barely being able to contain my happiness of the weeks events. I got a boyfriend! Ah! I shriek to myself in my head. I hadn't told my mother yet, and I've been feeling guilty and on edge about it. My mom walks into the dining room holding my phone. "Megan can I ask you something?". "Uh..... Sure." I say retracing my steps to see what I've done wrong. "Who's *boyfriends name*?" She asks starting me dead into the eye. Just hearing his name sets me off and I get butterflies in my stomach, and I blush. "Um..." I stutter looking for a lie to tell, but she's probably already read my text, she would know I'm lying, so I tell her everything about him asking me out and all the text and notes that we send back and forth to each other.

Ahhhh good memories. The point is I felt horrible about not telling my parents honesty is the right choice no matter what, especially when it comes to relationships.

Now if your family is still warming up to the idea of you dating, bring your boyfriend, girlfriend or crush that likes to back to your house a couple of times, your parents will get to know them better and maybe even meet their parents a couple of times. If your parent do not allow the opposite gender to hang or with you alone, you could always have a large group of friends to hang out with, this way your parents can still meet them in a comfortable environment.

I hope this part helped you! This is less middle school, but sense I did dating last time I thought I'd might branch off of that idea and do this topic instead.
