I'm 23 now. At 17, I did a lot of stuff my mom would've been horrified at. And I got pregnant, too.
Here's my advice to anyone who's gonna mess with guys before marriage: DO get birth control. I don't care if the only nurse at the tiny clinic in your town is your next door neighbor and you're afraid she's gonna tell your mom. Do it anyway. Then if she tells get her fired. Or go to the next town. Make the guy pay. If he wont he isn't worth it anyway.
DO make him use a condom. You don't know if he has anything. HE may not even know. If he makes allusions to raincoats tell him to go dance in the damned rain then.
DONT be flattered that an older guy wants you. Of course he does. You're young. HE's flattered that you'll have him.
DO think before you do it. Don't get caught up in the heat of the moment, and do something you might regret- think it over a day or more before going for it.
No one can really stop you if you've got your mind made up. I wouldn't stop you if I could- everyone has to make their own decisions, good or bad, and their own mistakes. Just make them carefully.

tonite my daughter asked if she could call her girl friend, I said, sure and her door was shut. I picked up the phone & it was this boy she likes, she called him. She is 12. Now she is on phone & music restriction. She purposely deceived me. I would not put it past her to try to go out (when she's older) w/a boy but my husband and I will hunt her down. Until she can display maturity, responsibility and be trustworthy, she won't date! It is better to be up front w/the parents than to try & get away w/it. Trust me, I know. Mom of 3.

I have. Most girls have at one time because most parents always find something wrong with the guy there daughter wants to date. My problem was that my bf was older than me at the time i was 14 and he was 17. i kept insisting until the finally agreed cuz i never have him up.. after 2 years we're still together.

I am 33, when I was a teenager, my parents forbade me from dating a guy I thought I liked. He was my first boyfriend. I was 16, a sophomore- he was a year older. I used to sneak around and date him anyway. They said I could go on dates with him, but not have him for a boyfriend- i had to date other guys too. So, i did, but snuck around anyway. I felt really guilty. My parents never liked him and never really approved- they wouldn't even let me go to the prom with him. He had to go alone. It was obvious we were a couple, although they did not know how much we actually saw each other. i finally realized, I did not care for him as much as i thought, but only wanted to prove my parents to be wrong. I broke up with him after 6 months of sneaking around, asking guys for dates to make my parents happy, and feeling guilty about lying. I realized that my parents were right all along, and I spent all that time trying to prove them wrong only to prove they were right. The older I have gotten, I have realized that my parents knew alot more than i wanted to see. You should respect them and trust that they have your best interest in mind- they can usually see the whole picture better than we can. My parents continue to be right about most things in my life- only i listen more now!!!!

I never bothered to tell my parents who I was dating or even that I was dating. Of course, I didn't date until college. What I was doing and who I was doing it with was and still is none of their business. I think if you're over 16, you're parents don't need to know who you're out with or whether or not your sexually active. Just be safe and be responsible.

I have. He met all re requirements they had listed that were appropriate for a BF, then when the time came they balked and tried to backtrack. I called them on it and then later they agreed that they were wrong and I could date him. (2 months after I had started dating him)
