Communicating with parents about boys

  • Thread Starter

Being in my final year of high school, I am encountering many new experiences and emotions that I have never quite felt before. I find it quite hard to talk to my parents about certain things, boys being the main topic, as they have never really spoken to me about forming relationships with other people my age.
My sister began to see boys in my year, although she was sixteen, whereas I'm only fifteen (my birthday is August, and hers is September). I haven't properly spoken to her about any of her past relationships, but I know my parents haven't approved well of a few of the boys. Especially her current boyfriend.
I however have known this boy for just over a year now, and we have spoken every day since the first day we met in school (he's in the year above, so he has just entered college). I really like him, and definitely know that my parents would too. I feel as though I'm personally ready to pursue a relationship with him (go on a few small dates etc, nothing too romantic), and he is too. He has told his parents about me, and I have met them a few times in the past due to us being out with friends (they seem very fond of me, which makes me increasingly happy). I know I need to talk to my parents to allow anything further to happen, but I feel as though I might be mocked for it (sisters past experience).
I'm really stuck for how to approach the conversation, and also very worried about the reaction too (I'm generally a very anxious and worried person).I could really do with some advice or past experience help please. (Also, sorry this thread is so long!). Thank you.
