Is it normal to feel this guilty over lying to my parents?

I'm 18 years old and I am sexually active. I feel really bad, because my parents do not let me date. I've been dating ever since I was 14, freshman year of high school. Every single relationship I have had, I had to lie about where I was going, if boys were gonna be there, etc. It's weird because I didn't feel that bad about it back then, even though I should have, but now even though I am 18 and an adult according to the law, I feel more guilty than ever. The thing I am going to do is spend the night at a "friends" and then actually have him pick me up and take me to his house so I can spend the night there. Its a fool proof plan, I just feel SO guilty. Its like, all the guilt was numb In my years of adolescence until now! Why is that?

    First of all, don't feel so bad. It's your life, they don't have the right to tell you what to do.

    Also, no adult is that naive. If they choose to look the other way, and have been doing so for so many years, there must be a reason. Maybe it's one of those things they tell you not to do because they wouldn't feel comfortable condoning it and they want you to be aware of how careful you should be, but actually expect you to do it.
