I work as a Customer Laison Complaints Case Officer at a major insurance company, where I have worked for 3 years. I left school when I was 17, as I had some very bad experiences at school and wanted to see what the real world had to offer.

I now live with my boyfriend of 3 years and spend my spare time reading, writing, socialising with friends or just watching some TV.

Times are still hard and I'm trying to cope with various health problems on a daily basis but I'm working my way through things and really want to stop it from getting me down.

I dream of some day going to America and watching a real baseball game (we don't have that at all in the UK) and perhaps finding a job I find creatively fulfilling. Until then, I'm happy trying to be me and making the best of what I have.

im 18 and my boyfriend lives in a different state. he always come to visit me. my last class is on wednesday (im in college)

i want to visit him this weekend and im taking the bus bc my car cant make it up there (its old)

i need a very good reason to leave my house for 4 days to tell my parents any ideas? they dont allow me or my sister (22) to have bfs. they are just strict so any GOOD ideas. (link)
First off, I have to say, that's extremely strict!!

However, I really think lying would be a very bad idea. Think about it for a moment. Your parents are already very strict. Do you really believe that if you lie, you will get away with it? And if you do get caught, just imagine the consequences of your actions, knowing how strict your parents are already. It just isn't worth the risk.

You need to have a conversation with your parents. Really talk to them (unemotionally) about the situation. You need to be very calm and mature about it. Explain that you have a boyfriend that you care a lot about and you believe that you are old enough for them to invest some trust in you to officially date him because you don't feel comfortable seeing him behind their backs.

The chances are, their initial reaction will not be favourable. The groundwork for overcoming this is entirely up to you. Prove to them that you are responsible. Use good grades as an example of handling your responsibilities as a mature adult and offer to introduce them to the man in question.

Hopefully, once they meet him and you have proven yourself responsible and trustworthy, they will allow you the freedom to see him. Including staying with him.

i have introduced him to them and hes a great guy. he doesnt smoke drink or anything like that. he goes to college he is a very intelligent guy. he does great in college and will be going somewhere with his life and become saomething. i am the same. grades are perfect i come home when they tell me too. i let them know (when he was here) that i was going out and id be back at what time and thats when i came. so you didnt really help my question or give me advice on it. but thanks for trying.
