Should I tell my mom?

You need to say something to your mom and your aunt.  It would probably be best if you could tell them at the same time.  You should also try to get your sister to tell them as well.  What this man is doing is NOT RIGHT.  It is a crime, and could lead to something worse.  You need to let them know what is going on as soon as possible.

Tell them.  Sooner or later they're going to find out.  When that happens they may assume you were up to no good. Why?  Because you didn't tell them.  If you want any chance at seeing and talking to him then tell them first.  Besides, don't you want your parents to trust you? You trust your parents?  It's a two way street!!

Be honest.  Hopefully she will respect your honesty.  Remember that she is your mother and you can tell her anything.  Just tell her.  Trust and open communication between you and your parents are the most important things you can have with them.

I think that if you doubt being ready, then you should wait. You'll know when the time is right, and you and your mom will get along much better!

What's more important to u the friendship of the guy, or being able to feel guilty, since your mom has been though what she has, she should understand, how bad would it be if she found out, would u be in more trouble then not telling her. I don't mean to be mean to u but really that is just selfish, & your mom should respect u for telling her the truth. It's understandable what happened under the circumstanes. It depends on how open minded your mom is. good luck, i would talk to her, i'm sure u feel bad about your friend, also i would tell your princple, that boy will have that on his record. do the right thing.

I would tell her. The sooner the better. She probably won't get mad at you unless it's been a while but even then she'll eventually appreciate that you came to her and let her know what was going on.

Why don't you want to tell your mom???  It's not a bad thing, hon.  But I guess you just need to tell her that that is what you want to do...it's not like you are asking her to buy you cigarettes and a case of beer!\n\nJust ask.  Or...show her your question on here that you wrote.  She will see that it is something that you really want/need to do.  Plus, you aren't going to get a close shave with those trimmers.  Does she use razors?  My guess is she does.  You are a female and deserve to begin using feminine hygiene products.  Just ask her.  Good luck sweetie!

Well Sweety, honesty is in most cases the best policy. Don't you think that she will find out one day? I would sit down with her and tell her that you need to tell her something that she might find shocking or that she might be upset about. Then, tell her, "Mom, I want you to know how much I love you and what a good mother you've always been (if this is true), and I need you to hear me out and try to stand by me, because I really need you now." Something to that effect. You may want to pick up some literature on parental understanding and support for parents of gay children. There's no real easy way to do it but I can tell that it's something you must do for your own peace of mind. I'm a mother and I can tell you that for most mothers, there is nothing that will change their love for their children, even if they are upset. The bond is so very strong between mother and child that I'm willing to bet that she will not stop loving you. She may be upset and unaccepting at first but if you keep the lines of communication open, you will work things out. Good luck, Honey.

Why would you tell his mother? If he is of legal age, he can make his own decisions. If he wants his mother to know, then he should tell her. If he doesn't want his mother to know then you should respect his decision and leave it alone.

You really should tell someone. If your a true friend, you'd tell someone as soon as possible. Tell someone you can trust and they will help her.

Yes, you should tell her for 2 reasons \n1- if she ever finds out you knew and did not tell her, she will have one less person she can trust and maybe even will cut her contacts with you (I don't know your sis and how upset she might get) \n2- If your sis knows the truth she can have closure and maybe stop not trusting men (maybe far fetched) as he left because he likes guys and not because of something she did

I started at 11...young, I know. If I were you, and your close to your mom...tell her first, she'll be able to break it to your dad for you. I didn't want my dad to ever know...He'd know I was then a woman, and I accauly felt discusted, but after a while, when your dad goes out in public to buy your pads and tampons, it's all worth telling him, lol.

Since you say that mom would probably kick you out of the house, do you really need to tell her? Coming out does not have to be something that is done in a single week. You told your boyfriend, and that is what is important. You should tell people about your sexuality that you are sexually involved with. For your family, it is only when you are comfortable telling them and aren't in a position of being dependent on them. If you think your friends won't accept it, are they really your friends? If they don't accept you, find better friends who are more supportive.

Tell her calmly after some good news, so she'll be so happy with the other thing that she wont really pay attention to that. Tell her how great he is and introduce them sometime, but tell him to act like a gentleman and not to try to act up, cause I don't think your mom will like that.

Tell your mother the truth.  Believe it or not, she never expected you to be perfect because she never has been perfect herself.  None of us are perfect, and we all have our failures in life.  The key is not to get all upset over it, but just tell the truth and get your mother's advice about what to do next.  This is important: TELL HER THE TRUTH AS SOON AS YOU CAN.  Everyone on this forum has been in your shoes before, and we feel for you.  Just be brave and tell her.
