    Why doesn't my dad believe me?
    My friend got me a porn mag as a joke for my birthday last week.
    My dad was in my room dressing my bed because I had to leave early and didn't get a chance and he found it under the bed.
    He went a bit crazy and when I tld him it was a joke from a friend he didn't believe me.
    Hes searched my room looking 4 nymore stuff and he found sum condoms which hadn't been used.
    But he still went spas!
    Now he's hardly tlkin to me and when he does he's giving out to me.
    Wat should I do??

    Well in the case of parent problems I have learned honesty is the best policy. It really depends on how old you are but if I was in your shoes I would just apologize to your father and have a grown up conversation with him about sex... yes I said sex... it is a real thing and could be why your dad is upset. I hope this helps you out.

    Sincerely

    Porn under the mattress ( how old is that) But if it was a joke you thank him and not keep it.

    The best advice I can give you is just sit down and talk to you dad. He might not be understandable at first but he will if you explain it to him that your growing and maybe you haven't done anything yet but your growing and some day it will happen. Tell your friend to back you up and tell him it was just a prank.

    It is hard truth but sometimes parents believe only what they want to regardless of your reason. We have to understand that you're father is upset especially if he trust you so much.

    This time, I don't believe that you should "treat venom with venom". Since your father has already pre-judgment over this issue, it won't hurt if you'll apologize and tell to him that it won't happen again. You know that truth, that's important. You have to sacrifice your pride to regain his confidence to you.

    What was he doing invading your privacy going through your room?

    Give him the cold shoulder.

    Of course your dad is upset. Pornography is dangerous, it is just as addictive as any illegal drug. It is understandable that he would disbelieve you right away.

    Criado's advice about what to do with your dad is good, but I would add to also tell his "friend" to take a hike if he likes to make those kinds of jokes!

    (P.S. blackblue: cold shoulder? How childish. That kind of thing will only convince his dad that he is lying. If I had a kid and I found something like that in his room, I'd do the same thing. Thank God we still have some parents who are willing to get angry about stuff like this! )

    I think the age of the OP is relevant here.

    If the OP is 12-13---the father has every right to be ballistic about this.

    If the OP is 17-18---there might be a bit of over-reaction happening.

    ... and if he's 21-22, we have some other issues that are WAY more pressing.
