I've been going out with my guy for 8 months. My mom likes him, but she's about the only one. The teachers at school all hate him because he's a little too goofy sometimes. They a seriously very hard on him for any little thing, but not with anyone else. Our classmates don't seem to like him either. He hangs with the boys but they aren't real friends. They're actually pretty cruel. My cousin, who is my best friend, doesn't like him either and she's never even met him. We talked on 3-way though. I get so made at her because she calls him ugly. How supportive of my "best friend". I don't know what my dad thinks. He's never met him but he hears a lot of what I tell mom about him. I think he just doesn't like me having a boyfriend. Anyway, sorry this is long. My point is, why doesn't anyone like my boyfriend? He's a really awesome person and we have so much in common. I love him so much but I feel like nobody else cares at all. It's depressing. (link)

Hi There,
I do realize what a difficult situation this must be for you. All of us have to deal with the fact that unfortunately people are sometimes to hard on us, and too overprotective to a suffocating extent.
Sometimes, there is nothing in our hands to do except force a smile and nod in agreement to our parents and try to hold our tempers in check!
But the main thing is DO NOT give up on your boyfriend. If that's a bright spot in your life and he makes you happy, don't let go no matter what. You have fought too hard to give up now.
Try sharing with him your troubles with your friends etc. Talking with him, and having him being all supportive will help make you feel better.
Hopefully by time, your they will grow more comfortable with the whole issue and they will relax and stop giving you a hard time. Remember that this is all new to them and they are probably not sure at all how to deal with the
situation. So give them time and hang in there.
Girl, believe me when I say that I understand! This is a tough situation, but like everything else, it can be workedthrough. I'm not going to sit here and tell you to talk toyour who ever dislikes him, which means that they won't listen to you. I know this is tough,but if you truly are happy with your boyfriend, then it should all be worthwhile. Here is what you do... When
things get hard, and your at that breaking point when you feel like no one understands and you just can't take it anymore, stop and realize that. Spend time with your boyfriend to remind you what you are fighting for.( Which is your relationship) And just think that in a couple of years you. Don't worry about making the
wrong choices. We all do that. Stay strong.
Best of luck!
