Question Posted Thursday November 16 2006, 8:23 am
Hey.
I'm 16 & my boyfriend is 24.
I've been dating him now for 4 months. We've been having sex & we decided to tell my parents, because we can't keep lying to them. So, I told them on Sunday, and then on Tuesday they told me I couldn't even see him anymore until I'm 17. Which I thought was OKAY, I mean I wasn't happy with that decision, but atleast I could still talk to him. And then last night my SISTER who doesn't live with us called my boyfriend and told him that he couldn't even talk to me on the phone anymore. :(
I'm soo sad, because I don't know what to do! & I'm in love with my boyfriend and I just feel sad all the time, and I'm not usually a sad person.
What can I do!?!
I understand that it's illegal by the way, it's just I asked my mom if I could still see him on friend-to-friend basis without having sex because he's grown to be one of my absolute best friends that I can talk to him about ANYTHING.

I'm sorry to say, but the age difference is a HUGE thing while you're still concidered a minor. Just wait till you're 17 to begin dating him again. I'm glad that you decided not to lie to your parents anymore because it'll make it a lot easier when you are able to see him again. If you really love him and want to be with him, one measely year won't come between you. Your sister had no business interfering with your parent's decision. If they allow you to talk to him on the phone, by all means do so. You can always email him and talk to him via instant messenger. [ devilspawn_666's advice column | Ask devilspawn_666 A Question ]

The situation with your sis was wrong. Ask your parents if this was their decision before calling him as this may fire your parents up more.When I was 16 I dated a 22 year old. My parents did like him because I made an effort for them to get to know him.17 is the legal age to have sex with a adult and that is probably why they chose that age. Ask them if he can come over for dinner or have a talk with all 4 of you together. Your parents do have your best interest at heart, but I know it hurts.I am sorry they are trying to split u up. If he truly loves you he will wait around for you.good luck [ kimandrich7's advice column | Ask kimandrich7 A Question ]
