hey just tell them that you want to move in with you bf they might disagree but you know what it's time that you start doing things on your own, your growing up and it's time they start believing in your decisions and let you make ur own mistakes. Tell them the truth bout anything you want. they're ur parents and they will always love you no matter what you guys go through.

thers no way in the world that you can convince them its the right thing to do. until youre 18, or until your parents go completely brain-dead- theyre more thn likely NOT gonna let you go. you say youre seventeen- and depending on your bday- youve got, at the most, a year- probably sooner than that to turn 18. jsut wait it out, and if your boyfriend loves you, he'll wait.

You're seventeen. Which to me, means you are old enough to make major decisions. But one thing bothers me, you've only been dating for 6 months. I know this is your relationship, and you know more about it than I do. But I can't help but thinking that it's to soon. But i'm not here to judge you. So i'll just tell you this: You're parents will think it's to soon. Any parent would. Just explain to them that this is what you want to do, & you love him. Tell them you are old enough to make your own decisions, and you know that this will be a good experience for you. I can't say that your parents will go for it, but you can try.
Also keep in mind, that when you move in with him, things will be very different. Your relationship may be at risk if you take this giant step. But if you have thought this through good, then good luck.
But if things don't go so well if/when you get what you want, and you end up having to moving back in with your parents, be ready for an "I told you so."
ICKKK.

I think maybe you should wait until you go to college or are 18. I know it kinda sucks to live under your parent's roof but unless you work a full time job, do your own laudry, iron your clothes and make your own food, you need them. take advantage of having your parents there for you for another year. you can always visit your boyfriend or spend the night/weekend there but moving in is a whole different thing. think about it. <3

Maybe that not such a great idea. You have only been with this guy for six months. Thats not very long. Atleast not long enough to move in with him. yea you can ask you parents but they wont take it well. What if you do and you and your boyfriend break - up.? what Happens when your parents don't let you back in the house? You should wait till your 18 or until you and your boyfriend are together longer.

If you have to ask your parents, then you are too young. Period. If you aren't old enough or finacial secure enough to support yourself and move out alone if need be, then you aren't ready.

I don't think moving in with your boyfriend is a wise idea right now, believe me. I'm 17 and have been in the same position. Nothing is ever a sure thing and seeing eachother every day will drive you absolutely freaking insane! People our age shouldn't be so quick to want to jump in with moving in with our boyfriends. You've been with this kid for six months, and he wants yo to abandon your family and move in with him? Your family won't take it well, and who's to say they let you move in, you and your boyfriend break up..then where do you go if they don't let you back in? Think hard of all the possibilities and take care.
