I’ve had a crush on a friend of mine for some months now. I’m almost 100% sure he has a crush on me also, which is why I’m asking this question . I’m 15 – but I’ve never had a boyfriend, let alone mentioned a crush. So how do I break it to my mom, her little girl is growing up? I trust and value her opinion, so she must know.

Just be honest. You mom probably aleady knows, so she will be glad to hear it from you! Tell her you have had this guy friend for several months (does she know that?). You have gotten to know him better, and now you like him more than a friend. Then listen to what she has to say. She may not be crazy about the idea of you having a boyfriend - and will share her concerns about that with you. It is so nice to know you are close to your mom, and value her opinions! All the best
Mom of a 13-year old.

At 15, I think your mom can take it. Honestly, I thought you were going to say that you were a boy also, which would make the situation mucho sticky. That's not to diminish your situation...it's just as weird sometimes to "admit" to your parents that you're becoming an adult. I think a great time for a parent to talk to a kid...and a kid to talk to a parent...is in the car. You have no distractions and you can't run away. So when you're both in a good mood, having fun, bring it up. I think it's awesome that you want your mom involved in your life and your decisions. It says a lot about you and about the good choices I'll bet you make!

Do you have a close relationship with your mom? If so, it should be easy. In any event, just go up to her and tell her you have sometime important to talk to her about/to discuss with her. She'll probably sit down and ask you what's going on. Just say, "You know my friend, _____? Well I've been kinda liking him more than just a friend and I'm pretty sure he likes me that way too. I just wanted to tell you about this to be honest and let you know what's going on in my life." I can guarantee she'll be so happy and glad you told her---she'll have a big smile on her face. And she'll most likely will be okay with it because you were honest about it, instead of sneaking around behind her back. She'll see how grown-up you're becoming and with those actions, she'll start to treat you more like an adult in a lot of ways. Trust me, she'll be so proud of you. It'll show her you're responsible and are becoming a mature young lady, which is unusual for parents to see in their 15 year old daughters.
Good luck!

This is always sort of hard, my mom has always been open and understanding about this topic and sometimes even brings it up because she knows I usually don't have the courage to blurt it out. Try offering hints to her about it, when you hang out with him come home and say how you had such a great time and maybe she'll catch on. Good luck, I hope you find a way to tell her.

Is your mom really that strict? You're fifteen and it's just a crush. Heck, she may have been waiting for such an opportunity to bond with you. I don't think it needs to be a big speech. Just say, "Hey Mom, do you think So and So is cute? I do!". She'll probably get a laugh out of it.

Your mom and you have to break the barrier and start talking to each other, so you might as well start now. You could write her a note if you'd like. It may sound cheesy but I'm almost positive it'll work. I think you'll be surprised at how calm your mom will answer to you.

Tell your mom exactly what you typed in your question. Let her know that you trust and value her opinion. I don't know you personally but I commend you for considering telling your mother - kudos to you for that! There aren't too many 15 year olds now a days that are willing to be open with their mom's, so with that being said, that's great.

Your mother already knows you're growing up and having a little crush is just part of the process.
Keep the communication open with her and you'll be fine.

Bring it up casually while you and your mom are doing something together like folding the laundry. She's been there before and she knows how you feel. Just make sure your dad doesn't hear about it. (dad's are really immature about this stuff ;P Let your mom give the news to him)
