im a 16 female and my bf is 19. i only get to see him twice a week, if even that. he has a full time job, and i am working too. my parents are stressing me out because they dont like how he calls me so much, but i like it.. he only calls me about 5 times a day, but yet those convos are 10mins long. my parents act like they dont want me to be happy, and im sick of it. sometimes i take all of this out on my bf, and he gets really upset about it, cus i get to the point where im so upset, i could break things off. i want my parents to get off my back, and for me to be happy. the only time im happy is when im with my bf. and now thats all changing becauz my parents bitch at me and embarrass me when me and my bf are hangin out all the time. im just sick of it. neither of us have our lisences... it'll be 4mths til i can get mine, and he can get his whenever, yet he has no expirence, so he wont pass anyway...
and my parents are sick of drivin us around all the time.
how do i find a way to see him, and how do i stop taking things out on him??

I don't think you should break up with someone just because your parents don't like them. They aren't the ones to make those decisions for you. He really should get a license though. Your life would be so much easier.
As for taking things out on him, you really shouldn't. He needs to take a little more responsibility for picking you up and taking you out though. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

Five calls a day is a little much, and I can see how the phone ringing constantly could bother them. Your parents want the best for you, that's why they worry about you so much. I could see how driving him around could piss them off, since he is 19 and has had the opportunity to learn to drive for three years. You could help by encouraging him to take a driving course and get his license. This will help both of you in the long run.
I don't see why your parents would want to embarass you in front of your boyfriend, though. Talk to them about it and tell them how you feel about the situation. Convince him that he is well-meaning. And don't shrug off everything they say as being hurtful or bitchy. They're just trying to help, and you never know, they could be right.
You can't think that you only lash out at your boyfriend because of parent issues, though. There is probably another outside source that you have to deal with. If it's really bad, consider counseling with or without your boyfriend and/or parents. As for seeing him, try taking the bus or other public transporation.
