bf is overprotective
So a little bit about me... I'm fifteen and a sophomore. I have a boyfriend, seventeen, junior. I LOVE cheerleading and tennis I dedicate a lot of time to both of them. My problem is I feel like my boyfriend is overprotective. He gets really worried about me when I'm out of town for cheer and stuff. He's also always telling me to eat more or be careful or remember a jacket... I know he does it because he cares but it feels like he's trying to be my dad anddd my boyfriend sometimes... haha and that's just weird! He's also really protective when it coems to other guys. One year at our county fair a guy grabbed me and took me off behind a ride, he tried to take off my shorts but I got away before anything happened. When I went this summer my boyfriend wouldn't let me out of his hold the entire night. I feel suffocated sometimes. It also makes feel kind of... down. He's always bringing up how small I am and how much I need to be proteced... And yeah... I know. I'm 5'4 100 pounds... I know I'm small, you don't have to make me feel even more tiny and pathetic. I just don't know what to do. I KNOW he cares and I love him to death but I've told him to back off and he doesn't get it. How can I make it more clear??

Some boys have to be in control, and they also take advantage of that. You have to make sure that one day he won't use that power against you if you're a tiny girl.
You also have to know when your breaking point is, if you can't deal with his controlling personality then you shouldn't be with him, you can't change someone to fit you. If you say to him "Hey, I would like to have a little more space and be independent" and he doesn't understand, there should be a red flag for you that it's time to get out of the relationship.
