parents vs. boyfriend
I am 15, and I'll be 16 in a couple of months. I have a boyfriend who is 18. All of my life, I have been around older people. I just don't really relate to many people that's the same age with me, and all of my male friends are older than 17.
Well, my parents don't really want me and my boyfriend to go anywhere together because they think he's too old for me. They're old-fashioned, and age is a big thing to them. My boyfriend is really respectful and everything. You would think that being their daughter, (and the only child in the house) my parents would know me, but they really don't. They don't know me as a person. It makes me mad that they're trying to say what's best for me when they don't even know me. It would break my heart to have our relationship be ruined because my parents simply don't know me. Is there anything I can say to them? I'm really confused on this one.
Thanks.

hmm,well you need to tell your parents that you respect there opinion but that you have a difrent idea of how things should be,dont be a brat about it though or you wont get your way.think of ways to state everything as respectful as possible.But be carefull beacuse if anything does ever happen he's 18 which makes him legaly an adult,and you are a minor so eh,if they wanted to,your parents could make his life very dificult,so just make the right decisions and be smart about it.

Dear Reader,
Welcome to my world, at least your allowed to date, I'mnot allowed until Im done college. And I'm 15.
Anyways, how about you invite your boyfriend over for a dinner so that your parents get to meet him and talk to him and see how he's like? Usually that would gain trust from the rents to meet the boyfriend if they havent already.
Tell them that you're getting older now and that with their strict rules and fair punishments, that they raised a headstrong daughter that cant grow up because her parents are holding her back.
I hope this helped, good luck, and let me know how things turn out!
Sincerly,
Lisa

Tell them everything you stated on this website. Tell them even though you respect their opinion about eveything you really like your boyfriend. Also tell your parents you're old enough to make responsible decisions concerning your life and that they need to trust you. Just tell them how you feel and explain your situation to them. You shouldn't have to choose between your boyfriend and your parents.
Good Luck!
And I hope I helped
