Re: Parents don't know - April 5th 2011, 08:09 PM

My mother knows about every dirty little sexual thing I've done. xD lol
I don't think she's impressed with it...well, I know for a fact she is not, but she's been my age and she's done these things too so she understands where I'm coming from. She's not only my mom but a best friend too when she needs to be and listen to my problems or whatever I have to confess.
As for my father, I'd be mortified to talk to him about it. He has no idea. I do talk to him alot about other stuff like history or interests, but when it comes to personal business he wouldn't understand.

for me, this is a secret i keep.
i'm too old to tell my parents everything anymore, but in any case, it's my little secret.
i think it's good to have something for myself.

I don't think that my parents know but it's not a secret or anything. They just haven't ever asked so I haven't had to tell them kind of thing.

At first teenhelp was my only little thing, but eventually I showed my mother and she really doesn't care. She's just happy that hopefully I won't talk her head off as much now that I've found this site.

As far as I'm concerned, my Internet use isn't any of my mom's business. I don't live at home. Though, I stopped telling my mom what I was doing online when I was eleven. I wasn't supposed to talk to strangers..... My mom found out that I did when I was about sixteen. She freaked out, and we haven't talked about it since that instance.

I sometimes bring my laptop in the living room, so I can watch TV as well as be on the computer. My mother asked me what TH was, and I told her. She was ok with it.

My parents know. One time I left my account open in my dad's blackberry and he posted in one thread.. =/
My sister also knows about TH but she is a little old fashion and doesn't like the idea of talking to internet strangers.

My mom doesn't know that I'm on this site she doesn't exactly like the whole getting advice from strangers thing in her opinion but it's not exactly easy to talk about some things with her, like it is on here.

Re: Parents don't know - April 6th 2011, 03:35 AM

I think both my parents know.
My dad's probably forgotten by now though.
My mum isn't entirely happy about it, but she puts up with it. I had to explain that most of the time I'm here to help people, not get help myself, and that put her at ease a bit. Occasionally she'll mention it, just like 'Are you going on those sites I don't like you going on?' (support sites), but she generally ignores it. She doesn't know how I involved I am in it, or about staff or anything, so I'm glad of that.


Nothing in the world is
the way it ought to be.
It's harsh, and cruel.

But that's why there's us - champions.
Doesn't matter where we come from,
what we've done or suffered,
or even if we make a difference.

We live as though the
world is as it should be,
to show it what it can be.

My mother kind of knows. She doesn't know about TeenHelp exactly, but she knows that I frequent a forum and that I used to help out online. I couldn't tell her more than that though haha. I just don't share these things with my parents.

My parents don't know. It's not like I'm hiding them from it, but I know if they knew, they'd come onto the site. My mom especially, to read what feelings I'm not sharing with her.

Ok, so I'm kind of hiding it from them

My parents know I do HelpLINK on here, but nothing else. They won't go snooping around in my posts or anything, but I'm pretty open on here, and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't approve of most of what I post. >_>

She has helped me on a thread one time, and even told me to post one in F&F about my brother.
