Penpal and Parent Advice?

Penpal and Parent Advice?

 
I have penpals. My mom knows about it, but my dad just found out and doesn’t want me to continue. I want to disobey him and keep my penpal friends. I’m too close with them to let them go just like all my other friends. Plus, it’s just epals, I didn’t give my phone or home address AT ALL! 

What should I do?? Disobey my dad and continue with my epals? Only listen to my mother? Keep it a secret? 
IDK! And I want so bad to keep them.

or should I just be a good little girl and obey him?(Not a chance-unless u think differently)
 
I understand. My dad doesn’t know about my e-pal. My mom’s cool ’bout it. But my mom says it’s ok. Try showing your dad your e-pal’s e-mails. Show her messeges. And tell him how much your e-pal means to you. 
Hope I helped!
 
I understand that this must be really hard for you. Try to get your mum to talk to him, she has a bit more power than you. She may be able to change his opinion. Good luck!
 
Keep it secret from your dad then. From his point of view hes too over protective. He thinks u gonna get raped by this guy.
 
Convince them that the e-pals are good for you. 
I’ve got like 30 e-pals, and when my dad found out he freaked out a bit. But when he found out that I didn’t give out any personal information (none of my e-pals know my full name, telephone number, home address, etc.) and that I was genuinely using the e-pal system to get to know another person and culture better, he eased up. He even encouraged it so I could practice my Spanish (I had several Spanish penpals). Tell your parents how much the e-pals mean to you, and have your mom talk with your dad about it. If your dad is simply steadfast about it… I feel bad saying this, but still continue. The thing about internet relationships is you seem to invest more into them, because you know so little about the other person and just want to know more. It’s super-hard to let go of these kind of relationships, so if I were you I would just keep it up while being careful he didn’t find out. 

Good luck, and I hope I helped =)
