The only thing you can learn from this FU is that a $9 Cab from Walmart would have been a much better choice. You would have finished the glass and avoided getting caught. But for realz, hope you don't catch too much shit for this.

If you and your parents are comfortable with it then, by all means, take advantage of the opportunity to save. As a parent, I am all for helping my kids out like this at any point in their lives. As long as they are being responsible and bettering their life I would be more than willing to help them.

Yep, I don't disagree with you. However, I do have kids and I can tell you that no matter how good your intentions are and how much you'd like to communicate it doesn't always go as planned. They are emotional little people and awkward situations are difficult for them at times...even more so when they're teens. I have at least learned that the more respect you show them and let them make their own decisions (when appropriate) the better your relationship becomes.

I wasn't necessarily referring to sex education, just dealing with teens, in general, can be difficult regardless of the topic.

I'm not looking forward to parenting teens because of these difficult situations but I am pretty certain your mother handled this incorrectly. She could have had a discussion with you and allowed you to explain. It seems like a much better alternative to having sex at your age and I'm surprised she didn't see it that way as well. Sorry you had to go through this. Find a better hiding spot for your next toy.

Is that Harvey and Elwood behind you?

Reply to I'm currently in college, and am struggling with whether to live in the dorms or in an apartment. Parents made a very generous offer and I don't know which one to pick. by Brilliant-Bed2876
You can be completely independent with a nice car after you graduate. Concentrate on school now, you have the rest of your life to stress over finances when you get out. That is my opinion as someone who has paid for both college and an apartment while in school. I basically had to get a full time job while in school. It worked out but I was lucky and would have liked to experience college life without working full time or worrying about how to pay for everything.
