Should a 16 year old boy have

Question

should a 16 year old boy have to tell his parents when he has a girlfriend like she has to when she has a boyfriend?

Answer 1

Why would girls have to? It shouldn't matter what gender you are.  

Answer 2

Children should introduce their boyfriends and or girlfriends to their parents. Invite your girlfriend to dinner with your parents so that they can get to know her. If  she is important to you, it would only be respectful towards your parents and her to introduce them to each other.

If it is not a serious relationship and you guys only see each other in school or something minuscule like that, what hurt would it cause to tell your parents? If it is serious, you should respect both parties by introducing them to each other.  

Answer 3

You shouldn't have to, generally boys are more private, but it would be nice to involve the parents for both your parents and her sake. Just cause you're a boy it doesn't make the parents any less interest in their sons social life

Answer 4

Yes.  especially if he is a toddler or a preschooler.

Answer 5

Well not necessarily have to no, but if you want things to be good with your parents, being honest and open about it might be a good idea, so they know you are keeping them informed etc (no need for exact details of course) but at least they know roughly what's going on in your life so they can trust you. If they can trust you knowing you are being open and honest with them, you'll probably get more freedom too.

Besides you're 16 I doubt they will even mind if you have a girlfriend now, So I would tell them so they will feel you are being responsible (not hiding anything) and parents love to see that. Happy parents means more freedom for you generally right.

Answer 6

it would be nice to fell your parents as they are interested in your life and what you are up to. my 15 yr old tells me and i really appreciate this as then i can get to know the parents as well as the boyfriend. that way i know that she is safe and she knows i care about her. i am sure your parents would be the same.

Answer 7
