Let's Talk Friend-lationships & Parents

Hola Taquitos Awkwardos! 
It's been a while since I've made a fun blog post. So. Let's talk relationships, shall we? <3
I'm not going to name specific people in this, but here goes. 
Today, I hung out with a really good guy friend of mine from my summer school. It was totally fun because you know, guy friends are fun to have. We watched Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows Part 2 ("Let's finish this how we started--TOGETHERR!") (Sorry I just had to say that), I taught him some guitar, & he walked me to my dance class.
BUT, the thing is, sometimes, guy friends and girl friends tend to end up liking each other. It's perfectly normal though. Everyone says that it's hard to 'fess up to a friend just because "they're afraid of ruining the relationship between them". Which is possible. Not going to lie. 
BUT, how will you know you will mess up if you don't try? If you really are good friends, then it wouldn't BE awkward if you broke up & it didn't work out. You can still start over & still be friends. I call this a "friend-lationship". 
The POINT of the story I told is that, like many teens in the world, I can't date. I'm not allowed till I'm like 30. But, there are lots of teens like this. Most of the time, parents don't let their little girl/boy date. So, if you like someone & they like you, but he/she can't date, or you can't date...then it depends on you whether or not you go for it. 
Sometimes, parents might let you. Because they're cool like that. But sometimes, they won't. Don't try and be all "I'm-a-rebellious-teen-&-I-can-do-whatever-I-want", because it's not going to help your parents trust you. It'll make it seem like you are immature & can't handle it. 
BUT, if you ask beforehand, or ask for advice from your mom or dad, or just tell them how you feel, they will feel like you trust them with your feelings & trust them with your secrets, so maybe they will let you. It's not guaranteed, but it's definitely better than dating behind someone's back. Or, as I like to call it, being "special buddies" (secretly dating, basically). 
Huh, I really do need to listen to my own advice. Haha :) 
So try it out, guys. Be bold. Be brave. Don't be afraid to stand up for what you believe in when it comes to a relationship. 
Talk to you soon!
