This guy I've been hanging out with has really strict parents. So he's been telling them he's been hanging with friends when he's really been with me. They're always yelling at him, and he used to live in a really bad neighborhood. He talks about it all the time, how much they yell, and I think it might be more than that but I'm not sure. I told him he can't hang out with me again unless he's truthful with them. I feel like he shouldnt have to go through this but I don't have any advice for him....help!!

give him a gun(or a bat) and see where it goes

he needs to set up boundaries. if he's no dependant on them...then they can offer advice but that's it. they need to cut the apron strings. But if it's an issue with you and telling him how you feel doesn't change anything then you need to make your mind up. either leave or stick it out. if you stay then you kinda have to accept it

he needs to be truthful, if he can lie to his own parents, he can lie to you too, who knows?

hmmmmm... I dunno about that!

Actually maybe meeting them & talking to them...so they know what a nice person you are? If that is not feesible maybe this guy is full of cr*p?
You are smart enough to let him know that you are not dealing with a lyer... are you 14? If you are that young ,be careful and maybe you should'nt be on an adult website?

Sounds like you gave him good advice. It seems to me he has personal problems. Do you really want to make his problems your problems? I think you did the right thing. I don't think you really need any help but it is him who needs help. Be thankful that you dodged a bullet.

Suppose he can't just walk out and say "be home later"? That is what I usually do. Your choice is a good one too.

You sure it isn't a girlfriend he is lying about being with and not his parents? Sounds like you are getting played.

your not the age you have posted, i feel that your very young as where you shouldnt even be on here.. hes playing with you..
