Real Advice: Should I tell mom I had sex?

mom and daughterI am going on 16, and made a regrettable choice to give myself to my boyfriend two years ago. Although this is something I cannot take back, I have talked with my youth pastor about regaining my spiritual purity through Jesus. But I’ve never told my parents about this. I know that I never got any STD’s and I didn’t get pregnant, but it’s really hurtful to me having to lie to my mother nearly everyday.

We talk about sex openly and I have no difficulty lying about it. I told her recently that I was going to wait until marriage. In my heart, I feel that I will be waiting for marriage.

Real Advice: My Cousin is Mad at Me

I need advice badly.

While I was on vacation my cousin’s birthday came. So I was planning to call him. But the day of his birthday I was really sick. I never even left my hotel room. And now he’s mad at me, and I don’t know what to do. I told him I was sorry but he’s still mad at me. And all I’m thinking about is how can I be so stupid and forget to call him.

Please give me advice ASAP. Thanks

Real Advice: Can I have a boyfriend?

~Real Question~

Can I have a boyfriend even if my mom won’t let me? Can I tell my mom? Can I kiss him? Should I kiss him? I love him, should I tell my mom? Should I tell my mom that I want to marry him?

~RT Response~

You should talk with your mom. You don’t say how old you are, but I sense that you are fairly young. There is so much ahead of you and so many experiences that you have yet to encounter. (more…)
