Dear Jellybean,

I used to go to a really small school, with the same 20 kids in my class since kindergarden. For my freshman year I was homeschooled so I could figure skate. That didn't work out so I am now going to regular highschool, and am a sophomore. I've never had a boyfriend or been kissed or been on a date or anything that involoves boys romantically. I am 100 percent ok with this and have no problem with this situation not changing in the near or not so near future. My parents on the other hand, have a bit of a problem with this. They think that now that I'm around boys I should be going on dates and have boys calling the house and chasing me down. My mom even thinks that because this is not happening I'm a lesbian! I have nothing against homosexuals but my parents are both traditional catholics and I know they would have a problem if I was a lesbian, which I'm not. I've never liked a boy enough to bother asking them out and boys don't ask me out either. I have plenty of friends who are guys though. I can't understand why my parents think this is such a problem, and I don't know how to confront them about it. I'd really appreciate it if you could help me understand where their coming from and how to confront them.
