Which one of your parents, is more acceptant of your relationships? Options

Ugh, my mom and I joke around about me getting a bf later on but I can rarely tell when she's serious. (She jokes about it all the time.) But my dad, on the other hand, never jokes. He automatically takes a disliking to any guy I talk about, boyfriend or not. Eesh, I'm surprised he still lets me go to public school.

I'm about to go into 8th grade (only a year till high school, aaah!) and I don't wanna be the freak who has no life what so ever. They always have a reason I can't hang out with my girl friends, they won't let me hang out with guys. Period. And when I wanna take a bike ride/walk they're all 'who are you gonna meet?' God. It's annoying as hell.

Do/did your parents act like this?

Dang ya'll have some crazy parents. I think the more you hide it, the more angry they'll be if (and usually when) they find out. The best situation is just create an open and honest relationship with your parents. Breach the subject of guys and dating, because tbh you are getting to that age where people start dating. Let them know that although there is no one in your life right now, when there is one you'd like to know that it's okay if you bring someone how for them to meet. Maybe they'll have rules, like you can't date until you're 16 or something, but that's probably for your own good. The open and communicative you are with your parents, the better the outcome.
