As teenagers we often get into the habit of doing things on our own. For whatever reason we do not want to bother our mothers or fathers about our problems that we may be having at the moment. The scary thing is that once the problem esculates, we become ashamed to tell anyone. I am here to tell you that it is okay to ask your parents questions. Start off by telling them how you feel about approaching them. Let them know that you maybe afraid they may get upset, but it is something that you have to know. Teenagers are exposed to so much at a young age, so as parents we have to know what is going through there mind. These question can be about sex, drugs, peer pressure, dress codes, skipping school, or whatever. The last thing you want to do is figure these things our on your own. Otherwise it could be too late to turn back what you may have already experienced for yourself. As "uncool" as your parents may seem, they are not perfect and I can almost grantee that they have been through similar issues when they were young. NO they did not have to worry about sexting, or skyping unapporpriately, but teen issues all narrow down to the same consiquences. Be aware of your surroundings and do not let your friends become your biggest influence. If you love yourself then you will take the time to figure out your self-worth.
Love,
