MOVED: how to start a convo with the parents

[ultra123456]

hi i am going to talk to my parents about surgerry any conversation starters?

yeah man it may be embarasing and stressful esp. if you have very conservative 'rents like mine.  i have been living with this for a while and my dad still didn't know until he took us out to an island where the only thing is to go on the beach and i refused that pissed him off.  I finally explained it and he totally understood. I was shocked man.  You must explain that this is not a rare thing but it is humiliating and keeps you from living a NORMAL life.  Then the hardest part is ofcourse treatment.  ONce the words 'plastic surgeon' comes that may turn them off.  You must press the point that you are not doing to becaome 'hot or even more attractive to the opposite sex etc.  its just to make you closer to normal.

good luck but honestly do it soon.  I didn't open up till i was in college i wish i would have done it sooner man the sooner they know the sooner you can do something about it...granted you are a minor.

My parents are very democratic. My mother tells "If you just feel is that right - just do it". My father wasn't agree in begining, he just said "WHAT? Operation? You're fine, you don't know every operation is equally hard" but after I told him I have to he agrees. I cant wait to my operation!!!

In my personal opinion you should listen to your father. But then thats just me, and well this IS the acceptance area.

The original post was also in the acceptance area, It was just on the wrong part of the acceptance area.

this is the problem that i am facing right now. check it, i'm a procasinator and dont like dealing with my problems. and my parents r the kind that only wanna hear good news, if u give them bad news, they start freaking out real soon. i'm in college now and i live with them.
i guess i just gotta deal with this ASAP.
