Maybe you should explain that you were young and foolish then, but you have since matured and don't desire piggy back rides any more.
This will make them happy, and they will smile at you and give you lots of praise as a wise, beautiful daughter.
Of course, this means no more piggy back rides, but you already got that out of your system, right?

Don't know how old you are??? That could make a lot of difference. But your parents aren't "stupid" -- they've been around the block and want what's best for you. Since you mentioned your friend is "19 ish," then that's probably the issue with them maybe. So try to understand where they are coming from. I wouldn't tell them it's stupid to overreact; I'd tell them respectfully that you've been thinking about it and you realize riding piggy back was probably not what you should have done but you were only having fun with a friend and nothing more and that you'll think twice before doing it again, that you don't want to hurt them or worry them needlessly again.

I see where you're coming from. My parents are from the Caribbean and they are mad strict about boys! My dad even said that he was going to get in in an arranged marriage-(like in his dreams he will!) Anyway, I really can't say what you should do since I don't live with you, but in my situation I would give them some time to cool off-epecially your old man. I have a close relationship with my dad, so I can easily talk to him. Try telling him that what you said on this page and tell them that it wasn't anything bad, but just kid fun. Never say that they are overreacting or wrong, cuz in my house you'd get slapped. Just gently tell them that he's just a friend and that you aren't interested in boys right now...only your studies. They love hearing that!
Good Luck to you!

sometimes parents who are difficult to talk to need to be talked to at there level. In other words, sit down with them in a soft controlable tone and explain to them in adult words (leave the "likes", cursing, and modern words that might confuse them) that you are a responsible and mature young adult that understands the difference between people trying to take advantage of you and the one's who like you for the "morals" that you have. You might have to go into detail on how the "new" generation has different behavrial patterns of meeting and greeting than that of when they grew up in. You might even finalize it with it is always your intentions to make "good decisions" and not to embarress them in any way or mannor. Your only goal in life is to make them proud in you in there lifetime. It probably wouldn't hurt to tell them this while they were enjoying a bowl of icecream or something like that. That should be enough BS to get you through a conversation.

Well sweety if you live with your parents then you have to abide by their rules. I wish my parents would have keep ground when they would tell me no! I would end up getting my way and now that I am 23 I wish they would have not listened to me. Respect them! What you can do is tell them what they want to hear. Sorry, dad I know I disrespected you and I guarantee you I won't do something like that again. This guy is my friend and I hope you all understand that I am growing up, so I need you guys to trust me! You know something along that line :-) Good Luck!

you parents, if this is absolutetly the truth, sound overtly strict.
I suggest that you bite your tongue till your 18, and get out of there asap!!!!! Your parents have too much fear about you, they are scared because of all the stories they have heard and they will never treat you as an equal. Honestly, its going to be painful but eventually (NOT NOW) you will have to create some space, but untill your old enough to live on your own... just bear it... 2 or 3 years is nothing...

say you need to even out the balance, or else you will grow up paranoid whenever a guy comes near you. make them take a group therapy session, say to improve your understanding towards them, but really it's to improve your parents understanding. you have to go see a real therapist to make it work, because the therapist will be your mediator. no matter what you say now won't do anything to your parents, but if you get someone like a licensed therapist to help you, your chances get better.
if all else fails, use your education to move far away from them. in other words, go to college that have dorms.

i promise relationship till you're sixteen will extremely be fairly lots Meaningless anyhow. sixteen is while maximum people start up relationship anyhow.. and formerly that, it would not advise something, or it makes for a bad destiny multiple the time. i stay in Utah so extremely all of us has that rule, haha.. i did not yet yet all of us around me did, so i did not date till then anyhow. sixteen is a extra Mature age too.. so dates are lots extra desirable and extra relaxing. i promise that is nicely actual worth the Wait. Plus, often at sixteen you canpersistent and such.. so that then you definitely truthfully can pass on an unquestionably DATE.. not could be chaparoned or purely "loiter around" or regardless of... purely stick it out. that is not that primary of a deal. take exhilaration in not relationship while you nonetheless can.. all it extremely is is complicated.

i think u should tell them what u just told us: that it's totally innocent, and that he's just a good buddy.
my dad used 2 be the same way, but now that i'm growing up more, he's left me alone about it somewhat. i think u just need 2 have a long talk with them about dating.
