Crackajack · 23rd Feb 2009, 10:21 AM

I would just like to know, I'm trying to tell my mum something (my dad is at work atm) but i can't.

What couldn't you tell your parents?

riddlerno1 · 23rd Feb 2009, 11:39 AM

I could probably tell my parents everything eventually.........except for the obvious reason im on EC. Im gay.

Nitro · 23rd Feb 2009, 11:49 AM

Why I took so long in the shower this one time. Or the time after that.

seanr · 23rd Feb 2009, 12:05 PM

I don't want to sound rude, but if you're a dom or sub

other than that, idk

Janvier · 23rd Feb 2009, 12:06 PM

The stuff I like to do in my bedroom with guys

Brandford · 23rd Feb 2009, 12:55 PM

I won't talk to my mom about anything that involves sex, my dad has been trying to talk to me about it so im waiting for a good time to tell him, unless he knows anything about gay sex theres no point in having that conversation

Hehehe, That's a Good point

I could probably talk to my mum about sex, but not my dad

xequar · 23rd Feb 2009, 12:58 PM

When I lived at home, the hardest thing was telling them when I got traffic tickets.

Now, well, I don't think there's much I'd hold back with. If they ask, they'd better be ready for an answer.

-Michael- · 23rd Feb 2009, 01:01 PM

Self harm
Depression
Alcoholism
Cigarettes
Drugs (the odd 20 when im bored)

I couldn't talk to either!

jazzrawr · 23rd Feb 2009, 01:22 PM

Well, I can talk to my mom about everything.
Except when I have a crush on someone, because I NEVER tell anyone that. XD
Ever.

My dad, I don't really talk to about anything. XD
I'm sure I could, if we ever spent time together. But he's only home 2 days a week.

Z3ni · 23rd Feb 2009, 01:25 PM

I can't tell my mum anything..

mcrteenagers · 23rd Feb 2009, 01:28 PM

I have no problem talking about smoking, alcohol, drugs. That's no problem.
Anything about sex. Noooo. Never.

Crackajack · 23rd Feb 2009, 01:48 PM

I couldn't tell my parents I self Harm, I want to, but can't...Too Scared of what they will say...

pirateninja · 23rd Feb 2009, 01:51 PM

I've got a good relationship with my mom; I talk to her about any problem I have. She works in human resources, and has possibly the best understanding and people skills I've ever seen.

Except for one thing; if I had any drugs. Even if I just took a puff of cannabis and nothing more. She would MURDER me, no questions asked.

beckyg · 23rd Feb 2009, 01:56 PM

I think it would be really hard to tell them you had an STD or HIV because you were careless so use PROTECTION! Always!

Joey · 23rd Feb 2009, 02:00 PM

I don't know... nothing of that nature has quite come up yet. I'm interested to see what could be "taboo" though, very interested.

Jeimuzu · 23rd Feb 2009, 02:59 PM

Hahaaaa I could tell my mum anything just to freak her out :P Dunno about Dad like.

Apocalypte · 23rd Feb 2009, 03:33 PM

Well, I'm not out to my family yet so probably that! Apart from that - I really hate asking for money, and I don't like talking about previous issues I've had with failing exams, depression and addiction.

Miles D · 23rd Feb 2009, 03:35 PM

I don't think I'll ever tell them I cut myself... they feel crappy enough that I didn't tell them I was trans until this past October.
I think they'd blame themselves too much
