Ok i think i understand more now... just ask me! I am comfortable with any subjects, even more serious stuff like sex and abuse. You don't need to be nervous- i promise not to judge you by the questions you have

If you want to ask your mom, just ask her! Leave out all the umm..'s and those awkward words. Try to ask her when she isn't busy, maybe a car ride? or just some down time? And i could always answer any questions you have! Just shoot it at me! I bet it won't be as bad as you think...
hope i helped =D

hey Elaine!

That's awesome! What did you get for a job?? And yeah i have a cell # but i don't think my parents would want me to give it out! i really want to though! it's just that the MOD's might get mad, plus my parents might take away my phone if they found out and i reallllllyyyyy don't want that to happen!! im sorry! it's not that i don't trust you, but other people can see the # and take it, and that's not what i want! i hope you understand!

Uh-oh. Grounded for life? What happened? The rest of my summer is pretty much no different than it's been. I work (swim coach), I give swim lessons, I go to the gym, and I swim myself. So all of these take up most of my time, and then the rest of my time is spent with my boyfriend (when he's not working, at least). I go back to school late August and I am sooo excited to see all my friends again. I haven't been able to see any of them all summer since they live all around the country, EXCEPT for near where I live haha. I'm actually pretty excited for the summer to be over.

maybe try calling your bf on the home phone? at least he wont think you're mad at him and you can explain what's going on!! about the pregnancy test, just forget about it for now! i mean, you got your period, so im 99.9% sure you're not pregnant. maybe you can talk to your mom.... im sure she doesn't hate you, no matter how angry she is!! hope this helps at least a little bit!! post back!

heyyy!

first of all, let me say that i think your feelings for your bf are real. i think he might be the one!

well, it's not possible to have your period while you're pregnant, but it's possible that you're not pregnant, right? or are you SURE you're pregnant? if you took a test and you're positive, then you cannot get your period.

hope this helps! oh and how are things with your mom? post back!

heyyy girl!

Explain to your mom what you just told me, that he is the best thing that ever happened to you. Tell her why you feel this way; and it hurts you when she rejects him. I mean, it would be different if mom knew something about him that you were unaware of and could hurt you in the long run {that is, drug or gang involvement, etc.} But since this is not the case, point out all of his good qualities ... how he treats you and how that makes you feel. If mom gets to know your boyfriend better, I am sure her opinion of him will soon change.

* Plan the discussion. To avoid catching her at a bad time (i.e., rushing out for work, coming in after a long day) let her know that you would like to talk about the situation when it is a good time for both of you. Pick a day and time - this way you can both be prepared.
* Plan what you want to say. Often when we are unsure of what we want to say we say things we later regret. Jot down some notes, if necessary. Decide on all the points you want to cover.
* Listen. Be sure to really listen to each other, many of us do not know how to listen. Instead of planning your next argument when the other person is talking, just listen. Then repeat what the other has said, to be sure you understood. Try it - it is harder than it sounds!
* Do not assume. You know the saying - always ask for clarification.
* Ask about feelings. How each of you feels about the topic is very important. Do not ignore your emotions. Talk about them too.
* Avoid yelling. Keeping your voice to a conversational tone will help distinguish arguments before they even start.
* Be prepared to compromise. Rarely does one person convince the other of their argument completely. It is okay to compromise - they usually make the best solutions!

Perhaps by attempting to calmly discuss the situation, your maturity and importance of the topic will be conveyed. Give your mom a chance to discuss her concerns with you again as she may surprise you!

Give it time; it may not happen overnight. Good Luck to you both!

hope this helps! post back!

Well, if it involves him, then I would suggest you talk about it together rationally, and consider where both of you are coming from. You shouldn't go against your better judgement, but you should both hear what the other has to say on whatever the subject is. You've been together for a while, which means that you both care a lot about each other. He should respect what you think and feel, and you should also respect his opinion, but ultimately you need to do what you feel is the right thing to do. If you two love each other (and it sounds like you do), then I think you'll be able to work through whatever these "subjects"' are. I'm sorry, I don't know what these subjects are, but I hope this helped a little bit! Let me know if you need any more help
