Dear one. I think your parents care a great deal about you. I beleive that you and your parents need to find a more productive way of talking. Their concern is for your expeience of not messing yourself up with the loose values of others in unknown social situations. Have you given them confidence in you as a woman of caliber and consciousness? Your choices will tell them what they need to know.
Perhaps a good choice would be to create a space to speak together and share thoughts. Create a time and space when you feel cozy and loving as a family when you can confide in your Mom, or both Mom & Dad. Let them speak about their fear of you socializing with other girls at their homes. Perhaps you will hear something important about their understanding. You must also be honest about whom you are visiting and what you are doing there. BOTH OF YOU MUST SPEAK, BUT BOTH OF YOU MUST LISTEN and consider what is being shared. Focus on creating a solution that you both can agree upon.
God bless you.
