if youve been studying pdh etc. why when your mum asked you if you wanted to go on the pill did you say no?
Sure, when I went on the pill I was like "im not sleeping with him, I just want to be on it IN CASE i do" which wasnt really the truth at all. But I think you should have said yes.
I went through the same thing with all the sex issues and them not wanting me to do stuff with my boy because of all that stuff and I was pretty much just like "you can stop me from using a fake id to go out in town and drink, because thats illegal.You can stop me from driving at 100 ks an hour, thats illegal. but you cant stop me from having sex because the age of consent is 16 so I'm not doing anything wrong." They were still uncomfortable so I said well im not going to NOT see him, because i have a right to be happy, but i want you to be comfortable so we just need to work out a compromise where we both give a little and get a little.
And then I was like, but most importantly its not about trusting that im not going to do anything wrong, its about trusting my judgement. (Senators country/life thing was good) As in, im going to mess up because im a teenager and we all do, but you have to trust my judgement that im a smart enough girl to know where to draw lines and who to involve myself with and how i can best say safe, healthy and happy.
AND you really should help out with the house if you want them to be more lenient. Like, if they dont see what you do then draw up a spreadsheet with all the things that need doing in the house and tick and date over the week when uve done it and ur dad will see ur committed and its adding up. But my parents always said keeping ur own room tidy is not helping out at all (like if my mum only cleaned HER room... well you know...) so say that you recognise that and you know they do a lot for you and so ur going to help them out so that its a relationship based on reciprocity.
Most importantly, speak to them calmly (throw in a few heartfelt tears but not temperamental tears) and if you try and cant do it without yelling then write them a letter and say "i know you want me to be safe and happy but you have to let me judge what will make me safest and happiest" etc.
Yeah so thats my advice...
Good luck!
