I'm 15 and I have a girlfriend, and she is my first girlfriend and my mom is going to Wal-Mart later, so I'm going to go so then I can get a gift for my girlfriend for Valentine's Day (with my money), but what am I supposed to tell my mom? I feel sort of embarassed to tell my parents that I have a girlfriend. Should I tell them, or not?

I don't see why not...unless you've got like first generation Oriental or South Asian parents...

There are a lot of factors that go along with your question. It really depends on how much you like her and what kind of relationship you have with your parents. If you really like her, you should not be embarrassed to let your parents or anyone know that you are together. And if you feel like you can be open with your mother and talk to her about your personal life without their being any consequences, then you should definetly tell her. And if not, your only fifteen, this won't be the first thing you hide from your parents!! Good Luck.

dont be and just think of it as though you were the parent you would be thanking god that your son is not gay .
they might kid you a bit but this is important only let that go so far because if you let them develop that as a pattern you end up with this being a hassle. instead if they kid you more then just a tiny bit dont respond or if you do well its kind of nessasary to give them a lecutre. just ask them if they would prever to kid you and turn you into a guy that does not see girls or not kid and have a son that is normal. only use that if the kidding is too much .
and congradulations .

Be honest with your parents and set up a day all can join for dinner or etc. Volunteer to help cook too! Being sneaky will only make your parents suspicious and immediately not like the one you are seeing even without meeting them.

Yes they have a right to know I told my parents about my boyfriend and everything worked out I'm actually kind of glad that I told my parents.

Tell your parents, there is really nothing to be embarrassed about! Good luck with the V-day present!

Just tell her that you like this girl...better tell her the name or she will ask anyway...and you thought it would be nice to get her something for valentines day. Yeah, you will have to probably answer several questions...but you will have to eventually anyway.

yes, tell them. just get it out of the way and tell them. it is good to have an open relationship with them, even though you may not think it now! most parents expect teens that age to begin dating. just do, you know they will find out anyway.

Woah woah woah. Are you ashamed of her? If not then definitely tell your parents! If you don't, your girlfriend will feel offended and you won't have one anymore. One of my boyfriends didn't tell his mom about us, and he didn't even end up getting me a V-Day gift. OUCH! Tell them dude. NOW!(:

It depends on what your intentions are with her. If they are not pure, then dont tell your parents cuz you might get in trouble.
And dont tell them if you think that they might not like her, or if u have already had sex.
