okay i'm 14 and i like this boy alot. i went out with him before and we had a really good relationship. but then we broke up because my parents didnt like him. he'd gotten in trouble for stuff and they didnt like the idea of that. since they didn't approve i was never really allowed me to see him except for school. so i broke up with him but i still liked him and i felt really bad about it and i wanted him back. but my best friend told me it was for the best and that i would get over him. she said not to go back out with him and that we would end of breaking up agian for the same reasons. its been almost 4 months since him and i broke up. he's changed since then. he says he really cares about me, knows how to make me laugh, and i always end up thinking about him. i still like him alot and really want to go back out with him. but i know my parents wont approve of it. i dont know how to explain to them that i really like him and that he's different now.
ahh help!

First of, you have to tell them that you have strong feelings for this boy and they haven't gone away since you broke up with him. Then you and your parents have to reach an ultimatum, or agreement. Maybe they would approve more if they got to know him better, of course the guy would have to be willing to agree to this too. Ask your parents if you can invite him over for dinner, that way your parents and him can get acquainted. Maybe all four of you could sit in the living room and watch a movie.What's the harm in that? You can work on building the trust between you, your parents, and your ex from there.
Everybody deserves a second chance, and theres no reason why your parents shouldn't be willing to give him one.
Good luck with everything! [ vintagevinyl's advice column | Ask vintagevinyl A Question ]
