well i don't know why you're afraid to tell your parents, but eventually (if you do follow this goal) they will find out. you will have to tell them sometime. if you are in high school right now, it would probably be a good time to let them know what you intend to do once you graduate. it'll be hard, but putting it off will just add more stress to your life.\nif you're younger than that, then i would suggest waiting. you have a lot of time and there is a good possibility you might change your mind.\nif you are absolutely sure that this is what you are going to do, then prepare what you're going to say before you bring it up to them. make sure what you say comes out respectfully and honestly.\nGood Luck!

Don't be scared to tell your parents. They love you and want the best for you (I'm guessing). Otherwise, tell an adult you trust - like a teacher or a friend's parent. It is really important that you let an adult know.

Tell your parents when they are both home.\n.Tell them when they are not busy\nOnce you start keep on going with it no matter what they so or how they react while telling them.\nBe understandable with their feelings....\n\n\n,

OK, I had some trouble understanding your question...But if you're trying to decide your future plans (work, marriage, ect) your parents feelings are important but it has to be what you want. You need to enjoy your job, so it has to be something you really want to do. If you enjoy pharmacology, then great. Just think all the way through your decisions.

Whether or not you decide to tell him, he did you a favor by asking you this question. Every person should ask themselves this. You should keep asking yourself this, as often as it takes, until you are completely confident in the answer for yourself. This is what it takes to take control of your life, to make yourself into the person you want to be. \n\nDon't be afraid to have high expectations, as long as your resolve and commitment to your dreams are strong. Somebody really wise once said, "It is only by attempting the absurd that you cam achieve the impossible."\n\nBack to your girlfriend and her Dad. Best to say you are giving it serious thought and will get back to them.

No its not bad, but if you dont want to be what your parents want you to be you should try talking to them and tell them what you want to be.  If they dont agree do what you want to do and someday they will come around and respect yor feelings.

Yes try your own business. This could be a great start for you. Ask your parents what they think.

Youre not ready for sex! lol jk. Honesty is the best policy. Telling youre parents the truth could open them up and be more understanding. There are no negative things about birth control. It just shows your parents that you are capable of making the right decisions for yourself and doing what you believe is best for you.

no other go, you have tell your parents openly, your likes and dislikes. you have state clear reasons, for choosing pilot / engineer / doctor. they will tell their opinions. based on that you all decide.

You are the master of your own destiny.  You can settle down anywhere.  Why not settle down where YOU want, not where your parents think you should?  You're grown; you're not somebody else's livestock to be brought hither and yon or penned up close by by controlling people.  Loving parents are great, but that love can also suffocate what they love.  Explain to them that you have to be your own person.  Good luck.

I don't really think you have to tell them who you like if you're not comfortable with it. Your parents might like the insight into your life and feel that you are more mature if you do tell them, (especially your mom) but it's really not necessary. Definitely tell them if you get a boyfriend though. Trust me, parents don't appreciate not knowing who their daughter is going out with.

think of it like your parent.  You know they love you and would do anything for you  they provide for yo and take care of you and you love them, but when  you've done something wrong the first thing you think is "oh no, don't tell my mom or dont tell my dad, don't let my parents find out. Why? Because you fear what they will do, you fear that they will punish you.  When you do the right thing it is usually not becaues you are afraid of them  it is because you love them.  That is what God wants from us and why he is refered to as Father and we are called His Children.

once you are 18 no-one will be able to tell you what to do, so maybe you should just live with your parents until then, after all it will beat paying the bills by yourself, also your mom may be trying to save you from making the same mistakes that she did, thats why she doesn't want you doing the same stuff that she did when she was young.

I was in the same situation. I didnt know how to tell my parents i wanted to move out.. I started buying things i would need and starting saving money. I also would tell everyone else yet not them...then one day someone brought it up in front of my mom and she was like...what you want to move out. Then I came out and told her....Its not that i dont want to live with you anymore..its just it is time for me to leave and begin my life as an adult. They were sad at first but you know what... my parents told me after that they understand and as long as i am happy in my decision they are happy too, even though they miss me.\n\nThis is my story maybe it can help you.

well just let your parents know about him and let them see that you are a responsible adult by letting them know. you shouldn't hold it in and then they find out on their own and then it will all go down hill from there. that's my advice.
