I am 19 and I love my boyfriend with all my heart but the thing is he is in jail so i'm not aloud to be with him because my parents found out but I just can't give him up because the love is so strong. I think about him everyday and I often start crying because I miss him so much. What should I do?

I don't know why he's there or for how long....but if he cared about you and your relationship, well, he wouldn't be there.You need to get over him and move on with your life. If you stay with him I think you will have a miserable life for years to come. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

Try and calmly explain to your parents that you really love this guy and you want to be there and support him. If they don't agree, well...it's your choice whether you accept that or not. At 19 you could move out anyway, right? Try and get a few part time jobs like newspaper rounds, sandwich delivering during your lunch hour, working in a bar, etc and save up some money if you don't have enough.
And...well, 'you can't see him' doens't cover 'you can't write to him'. Write to him loads! It'll be nice for him to know that you still care about him despite the prison thing. Plus they (whoever 'they' are) say 'absence makes the heart grow fonder'. When he gets out, the relationship will probably be even stronger than when he went in.
Blessed Be,
