We got this question a few days back, but this time we let Mircea answer it...

I'm an all around good girl. I don't lie to my parents. I don't really misbehave. My average in school is 103. I've never really had any interests toward boys, until my junior year. The guy's name Mark and I've known him since freshmen year. He gets by in the institute with 85s and 90s but a lot of the time, he's a troublemaker and kind of like a player. He actually came to class with a hickey on his neck.

I liked him but he found out and he asked me out but I said no because my parents doesn't allow me to date until I'm out of high school. Now he asked me out again and said that he did a lot just to impress me, like getting 101 average, taking up music, joining sports teams and club. I didn't know that he liked me back that much. I want to say yes so bad but I can't lie to my parents and date him behind their backs. And they won't let me date him either. What should I do?

MIRCEA ANSWERS:
Have you talked to your parents directly about hickey man? You might wanna leave out that he's a pimp and doesn't try that hard at school. We all like the bad boys initially, which is fine as long as you keep up with the good grades and don't get knocked up. You can really screw yourself (literally and figuretively) if you get involved with the wrong dude.

I love that he's trying to impress you. I worry about your sweet little heart, but if you can take it reeeeeeally slowly, then it's all good. See if he'll come over and meet the rents. You guys could all have din din, etc. They're retarded if they think they can keep you from getting laid. So be honest with them. Tell them they've done a great job so far and you need to learn to be an adult and dating is part of that. Tell them you don't want to lie and you'd appreciate their support. Worst case scenario, you have to wait one more year and you can be with whoever you want when you leave the den. Or sneak out, lie, spend your energy on a boy, lose interest in school and fail at life.
