I want to do things with him, but Im not sure what
Question Posted Wednesday January 24 2007, 7:16 pm
Ok, my boyfriend and I dont live close to each other, and we dont go to the same school, so we can only hang out, for the most part, on weekends. He is 15, and I am 14, and of course our parents wont let us go anywhere out just the two of us. And he doenst want to go to teh mall and the movies, because that is all we have done so far. And we usually go out with two other people, but we need ideas on things we can do, if the 'group' part, cant make it. SO I guess my question is: what are things we can do? His mom approved me coming over his house, but thats in te afternoon, and we are not sure what we should do. And I really want to spend time with him. HeLP!!! I need lots of Ideas....please respond
Edit: I actually am in the same situation your in...My girlfriend lives 40 minutes away and we dont go to the same school...We just do simple things...when we do get bored of movies we will go driving and pick up something to eat and just talk..sometimes we also go on picnics in the summer and go play out in the snow in the winter...but since I'm guessing you guys cant drive just stick to hanging out and watchin the tv sometimes board games are fun too and invite family members to play especcially point...major brownie points [ JesusFreak2006's advice column | Ask JesusFreak2006 A Question ]

They are almost always offering some kind of cooking, dancing, drama, tennis, gym etc. course for teens. Usually the fee per person is pretty low. See if they have something starting soon you can enroll in that will keep you busy for 6 or so weeks in the evenings.
Also, towns and cities offer free public swimming a few times a week maybe heading out to the local indoor pool might be an option. Also check out the library too as they may have special events and programs for teens.
At your age you both should be allowed to go where you want to go and do wht you want to do within reason such as any movie of your choice or the mall or wherever as long as parents know where you are going, with whom, and the time you will return by. You both need to be independant and right now you are not and your parent's stance is wrong.
Kids your age should be able to go to parties and hang out with friends as it's not natural otherwise. As long as you follow the rules and know how to avoid bad situations I see no problem with you and your boyfriend having freedom.
I think what you need to do is find an adult who agrees your being cooped up at home and not out and about is bad for you both socially, mentally and argue your case for more freedom. You should talk to a guidance counselor or teacher who can bring it up or aunt, uncle, grandparents etc.
I hope this helps you out some. Let me know what happens as you really ought to fight (the both of you) for more freedom as you are being denied the chance to grow up, make decisions, have a relationship and progress to becoming an adult.
