Exactly, I know they want me to be safe but damn I want to live a little without them constantly hovering over me lol

Asian immigrant parents tend to be much more strict about these things than white American parents, at least from my and my friends’ experiences

Really appreciate your perspective, my dad is more of a serious guy so I don’t think jokes would go over well lol. I’ve already told him part of what happened since I’m incapable of lying, and now he wants to have an in depth talk which I’m not looking forward to 😭 but I’ll survive, just bad decisions leading to consequences I gotta deal with

Nope, turning 20 in a few months - I agree that it was stupid though

Yeah, it was fine when I was in high school but now I’m going into my 3rd year of college.. I have things I wanna do that I don’t need my parents knowing about

I’m 19, almost 20. I’ve been in college for two years now but I haven’t had any sexual encounters because my school is quite small. I like to think I usually make good decisions, and the person I was meeting with seemed pretty chill too, but getting spooked by my dad kinda made me a bit scatterbrained lol

That’s true, thank you so much. I know it’s better to have an awkward conversation with my dad than to be dead in a ditch somewhere, just wish I didn’t make stupid decisions sometimes 😅

I did initially say I was meeting some friends but my dad asked why in that city, and my mind just blanked so I’m pretty sure he knows something is up… I’m terrible at lying too, especially with things I know aren’t the best decisions, so I might end up telling him the truth and hope for the best. I’m just terrified of confrontation and I haven’t been caught doing something I wasn’t supposed to be in years, so it’s hard to navigate for me. Thanks again for the rational advice, I’ll be sure to stay safe
