my parents dont want me to contact this guy?

[Randy]

i have a friend that im communicating with by myspace and instant messenger, anyways i met him at a mall one day here in PA, and we exchanged emails,

anyways my parents saw his page (i use my dads computer and they found his URL)
anyways they began questioning me about him and where he came from, and they asked me why was i communicating with this guy

and they told me not to talk to this guy again, and if i did i would get grounded and punished, im only 15 almost 16

why do you think my parents dont want me to talk to this guy?
they told me that they really dont like his page and the way he expresses himself, but i dont think he says anything really bad in his page

please help

he's a little older, so they're worried he'll take advantage of you.

[poor2riches]

Your parents have every right to help protect you. There are very serious problems with people meeting over the Internet. Caution is your best friend. Listen to your parents.

[jkjkhardcore]

He's a swinger lol
he hates ppl because they are a F**ing disease lmfao
he ... omg ... the music's mad gay
his pic is of him holding beer saying old habits die hard.
on books it says he can't read wtf? this guys a loser.

[lemley]

they sre looking out for your best interest and safety, there are so many other guys move on you are so young

[Purly G]

Because you're 15 in PA, and he's a stranger who is "a b*tch livin it up at the fast lane and tryin to have a fun time without really givin a f*ck" in NY. You know, sometimes it really is best to listen to your parents.

[Skiowl1]

because he's 18 and you are not. kids end up physically hurt or worse when meating strangers from the internet. Your parents are being responsible parents. i'd go with what they are saying if i were your parents I'd be meeting him with the police close by.

[Pipe L]

Well, you should listen to your parents. They are trying to do whats best for you.
Do not trust who your parents cant trust,,, does nobody any good and can end up getting you grounded for a very very long time.

life can be easy and fun,, or difficult and hard,,, next choice is your to make to see how life will be for you.

[Ms.B]

well 1 he is 18 and your 15. also from what i have seen in his pictures all i see is beer. thats not cool at all. maybe your parents are right. you need to chill out and think why they tell you not to talk to him.

[Julie]

He's using a lot of swearing on his page
I think the thing that might have got them the most is the fact that he states himself as a "swinger".... not necessarily someone they'd want their 15 year old daughter to have an interest in.
However, you know him better than they do. If all of this is just showing off and his page doesn't put him in a true light, I guess you could remain friends with him, but remember, parents are older and even though some of the things they say are annoying, they've been through it all already. They might see something in him you don't, e.g. he's a poser or something. Good luck though

[Lisa G]

HE IS 18 OR ATLEAST THAT IS WHAT HIS MYSPACE SAYS.

IN HIS DEFAULT PIC...HE HAS WHAT APPEARS TO BE BOOZE IN HIS HAND.

HE SWEARS LIKE HE WAS RAISED IN A HOMELESS SHELTER.

Hey my name is Ariel, some know me but for those you dont know me im just a bitch livin it up at the fast lane and tryin to have a fun time without really givin a fuck, so i really love ''FRESH'' and stay fly and pretty much up to date, im not personal to nobody nor very nosesy so pretend its mother****in throwback cuz the rest is bull**** and yea, you can say that i got a real faggot ass way of livin, so il suggest to lay low and dont fuckin throw stones to a glass window, on the other hand im into electronics and technology and shit plus i love the passion of urban music and shit so fuck tha world!

[chica]

I think it is some of the picture ya know where he stuck up his middle finger and it is stuff like that that tells parents that he might not be very responsable. Plus he is eighteen and if you guys had sex he could be arrester, age is not ust a number when you are that young and can have sex.

[Bunniez89]

His profile picture looks like he has a drink in his hand. He's 18 already. He swears alot in his about me. He listens to rap and reggae, though, I'm not sure if he's for real or a poser. He also says that he's a wrapper. Now, I'm not saying that your parents are right or wrong, that's not my place. But these just might be some reasons why at first glance he doesn't look like a guy they'd want you talking to.

[Belinda]

If you were my kid I wouldnt want you hanging around with someone like that. Good grief. I dont like the way he expresses himself either he is just plain rude. Also looks like he is drinking not a good idea for someone your age. Listen to your parents

[lenny samoa boa]

now hes only 18 3 years older there worried thats normal but one day re arranged a meeting for your parents to meet him have a conversation so your parents can see if hes alright but you do need to be careful theres some weirdos out there so be careful

[linkboy519]

Their your parents they don't want you to talk to this guy because you have never met him you probably don't know anything about him. He could be a rapiest for all you know.

Also your parents don't want to talk to him because they don't want anything bad to happen to you because they love you and they don't want to sent out a missing person paper if you do meet him and he kidnaps you.

Your parents just love you and theydon't want to see you get hurt like 95% of teens in america wind up missing and 35% of them are found and alive 40% are found but r dead.

So your parents don't want that happen to you because they love you very much =).

[Tony C]

first of all.. your parents dont want you to be upset and angry. they are just worried that you might get influenced, manipulated or taken advantage over by this 18 year old boy. there is nothing wrong with his page. it would just portray a laid back, typical teenage party boy image to your parents. im sure your parents want the best for you. they want you with a perfect boy. they dont believe that this boy that would take you seriously. if you really think he is a nice guy that will treat you right.. tell your parents. but im telling you your parents know alot. when i was 15 years old i thought i knew it all. i thought my parents were to old to understand how guys were these days. but they know more than you expect. trust them. they love you and do want you to get a guy. not just any guy.. someone special. and maybe when your abit older (17+). good luck sweety

[Jon S]

Are you stoned? Are you serious? Grow up, graduate high school, and experience real life.

[FlaChic]

I am not even going to look at his page because it does not matter. What you did is very dangerous, you stupid kid!! Your parent are trying to protect you. Good thing that you are not my kid.....your Myspace page would be gone and you would not be allowed to use the computer at all. Young girls have been kidnapped, raped and killed by doing what you are doing....Listen to your parents and stop this stupid behavior.....period!

[janice.falk]

is this guy much older and kinda creepy? sounds like it, I think I agree with your parents

[Bob D]

Until you are 18 ..You parents have a legal and moral obligation to protect you. I dont care how cool the guy seems etc., You are a youngster and dont understand the dangers out there.....and yes you really are a youngster...

[Legandivori]

Actually, they have the right to demand what they want from you until you leave home.

They don sound overprotective. However, you can ask them specifically what they find objectionable. As far as being grounded, you might risk it. If they won;t deal with you as an adult, it might be either let it go, or pursue it. Perhaps they think he is lewd, or sick in the head. If so, ask for specific examples. if they have none, I'd advise getting them to go to family counseling with you ...if they refuse, away to another relative ASAP and live elsewhere.

I'm gonna tell you from a parents point of view, this guy is a wannabe punk. He uses swearing to make up for his lack of education and ability to communicate properly. He has anger issues, drinking problems and no respect for women/females in general. He tries to appeal with SHOCK rather than personality or accomplishments. Had you said your parents liked him, I would have told you to immediately report them for neglect. While it is unfair to judge someone on a few words or actions, this animal has LOSER tatooed on his forehead. Can you sit down and list 2 or 3 accomplishments or even goals he has set for himself, explain to me what he has to offer a young lady in the way of a future, or life, and then ask yourself just HOW GREAT he would be as a role model to his children. Sweety, if all your parents threatened you with is grounding, then you are getting off easy, your 15 yr old butt would not be out of the house for 6 months, you would lose the computer, telephone and any other way of communication and then we would talk about your punishment. Your parents Love you, this animal would only like to USE you.
