When I was 16 I met this guy online, he was from England and he was 19. We started getting serious and my friend told my parents. I thought they would freak, I was really mad at her. She wanted to make sure that I was safe, and as it turned out my parents were pretty cool about it. My mom and dad contacted my boyfriend’s parents to make sure he was OK. He and I still chat and we are planning on meeting in person this year, with my parents. I guess I should have told my parents myself about him but I am glad that my friend did.
