[QUOTE="janebrain, post: 222706, member: 3208"] Hi Jennifer, WFEN I think has nailed it. While reading your post I thought, "oh, she sounds like me back when I was 16 (just a little older). I was very sneaky and lied to my parents about where I was, what I was doing, etc. It wasn't anything personal, I just wanted to do what I wanted to do and I didn't want to get caught. Also, I didn't want to cause my parents any trouble, I figured what they didn't know couldn't hurt them. I think I was a pretty normal teen girl. I was a good student, had my own internal boundaries I wouldn't cross, etc. This truly is not about you--and teens are notorious for it being all about them. She is not considering how you feel because it is all about her and what she wants to do. This is not to say you just give up but I think it doesn't mean the end of a relationship with her--she will be testing the limits and trying to become independent for several years now. When you get to the other side she will still be the same girl you knew as a baby. I'm sorry your night ended so badly but glad you did have a good night out with boyfriend. Sounds like he is a gem!
