I explained to my parents that i don't want to go to prom. For one thing none of my friends are in to it so why go to something if i'll be alone or with classmates i barely speak to and i'll cry if my family thinks i'm dating. I'm not. but this one guy asked me out. if anyone in my family knew that it'd be hell. "omg our little girls all grown up blah blah" It's always been that way. I was too young to date so i wasn't allowed...now that i can everyone will tease me about it, either way i don't care i'm not interested in anyone nor have i ever been. If it so happend that i DO find someone he'll be a secret.
If my daughter ever wanted to date she'd have to be 13 and it could only be on a weekend. Id also have to meet him first. I think my parents are too strict in saying i couldnt date the guy that asked me out when i was 13. Girls should be trusted. If a guy in my family can date at 13 why not a girl? it's not fair.
It's also really embarrassing that my mom makes hints that i should date...like my cousins girlfriend has a brother who's 19 my mom said "HEY! there you go just for you" i met him..he was pretty cute...but his personality was infuriating. Looks and personality for me are two very separate and not equally important things.
