rules

How would you react if your mom told you that you weren't allowed to see the boy that you are dating? Would you try to argue with them to get your way, listen to your parents and do as they say, or try to sneak around the rules they have set?

  1. I would try to think about the reason that my parents had made this rule. For the most part I think that parents really do want what's best for their children, but that doesn't mean that they are mind readers or they can tell the future. They can't know for sure that their decisions are going to be the best decisions for you. So if the only reason you are dating this guy is because he's a "bad boy" and you don't actually like him for who he is then your parents might actually be right.

  2. knowing my parents and how their judgement is im pretty sure i would sneak out because i know i wwould have better judgment than them. thats sounds like something a tipical teen would say, but really.... they wouldnt understand. now that being said if my parents were different, maybe a little more grown up yea i would listen to them i would definitely not sneak out

  3. My parents, as much as this pains me to say, tend to know what they are talking about, they have pretty good judgement. They give me their advice and its up to me to make the decision. If my parents wouldn't let me see the boy I was dating I would be upset but consider why they made such a rash decision. I know with past experiences, when my mom or dad has warned me about a boy or not to do something and I didn't listen, I got hurt, so looking back I know they said those things for a reason. If I were in this situation, I would be upset with my parents, but I would respect them enough to discontinue my relationship with the guy.

  4. I have been put in this situation before so speaking from experience, your parents know whats best for you. I think sometimes we don't see who a person really is because we only see what we want to and choose to ignore the rest. If I was really certain that my parents were wrong, I dont think I would sneak out but maybe have him over so my parents could meet him. I think there are other ways to handle the situation.
