I am fourteen years old, and have been secretly practicing nudism for two years. I have done extensive research on the subject and I have decided on this lifestyle, so please do not respond with comments that try to say that I am too young to know about anything or to try and stop me from continuing nudism.
Moving on. I have a very kind, accepting mother, and I have a feeling that she would accept my nudism if we talked about it for some time before anything more radical happens. In this area, I simply do not know how to initiate the conversation and calm her down. She knows, at the very least, that I sleep in the nude and do not wear underwear. I am also fairly sure that she has her suspicions. However, I would like to simply get it all out and let her become comfortable with such a lifestyle.
My father, however, is very stubborn. When I attempted to calmly explain to him that I am an atheist, he almost went on a rage. He threatened to take me away from the school which I love because it was an "episcopalian" school, and I was not a christian. Since then, I have attempted to explain the general tenets of my belief, including that I do not believe that one should follow moral codes because of a threat of punishment, such as Christianity follows, but because of a sense of morality in oneself. My mother was far more accepting of my beliefs, although she is a devout Christian.
I do believe I have rambled, but I was simply hoping to inform readers of the situation with enough information. I simply would like advice on a way to introduce my parents to my lifestyle without shocking them horribly.
