hi..dts gud havin a boy friend..i do have one..c,just handle the situation carefully...tell your parents first,and make them understand the depth in love u have for ur guy..it always takes some time for ur parents to agree...bt,still u wait and wait...jus dont run away with him...bcoz that most of the couples do these days whn their parents are not allowin...tell dm that you really cant live with out him....and the main part is,you must have satisfied all your parents expectations..........let them know love these days is not a big thing to worry about...it vil take time,wait to hold the hands of ur guy forever,gud luck..........

OK lizzie as long as you love each other you're parents are going to have to  deal with it, and you guys need to tell them that (in a respectful way of course) that is so gooooood that youre waiting til you get out of school. but any ways let youre and his parents know that you guys are willing to take youre relationship to the very top and youre going to need their support , if they love you guys which im sure they do their going to to be happy about this because it makes you two happy.\ncongradulations , i wish you guys the best

a year and a half? Your parents can't be that upset, you both are mature young adults (I hope) and you shouldn't hide the fact that you care about someone.\n\nGood Luck

well how old are u, if your over sixteen i would try to talk with your parents about letting you date.  i just want to say there really isnt a rush it will all be there when your out on your own.  enjoy being young honey because before to long you will now that the real world can be a rough place.

he is playing you for a fool and why does it even matter if your parents dont want you to date then it hsouldnt be a problem , right?\ngo with them, they really do know best and im sure that they have your best interests at heart\nnow if you are like 20 and still living at home or something then this choice really should be yours, and still he sounds like an immature player to me\njust keep it as friends

I truly feel bad for you,but you need to see or search the reasons on why your parents feel the way they do towards him,i mean i would take some heed to their actions,remember they have more wisdom from age and experience.However,if they really don't have the facts to back their actions,this is something you will have to face with your parents.Always be honest with them no matter if they are not going to approve.You are an adult,and you need to let them know that you are not trying to hurt them by your choices of life,that you are trying to find your way and if it is a mistake,then you need to find that out as well.This is how wisdom comes,with experiences in our daily lives.One thing to remember is your parents have an unconditional love no matter what,just like you do for them.I just hope your boyfriend proves them wrong and doesn't make you regret any decision that you might make.Without family,we have nothing! I hope the best for you,Good Luck!

Stop going out with him.  Your parents love you and want to protect you from harm. It's obvious that you know what you are doing is wrong and it's tearing you up inside.  Do the right thing.  Respect your parents if you ever expect them to respect you.  If you want them to trust you in the future, then be trustworthy.

Just be patient with them and let them get use to the idea that you are now engaged. This is a initial reaction, and as a parent I know if my children are serious about a decision I might not like, I will eventually be won over by them being more mature than me. If your parents try to break you up, prepare your self's so that there is no miss communication between you and your fiancee', so their attempts will fail. The fact that you are of age and not luring this over their heads, and want their blessings tells me your probably both a pretty mature couple. In the meantime, just stay fast to your engagement, stick together on this issue, and give them time to realize that you are going to get" married" in time, and I bet eventually they will jump on the band wagon, and you and your financee' will have full support of the families.

OK, hon. First of all, you don't need to prove your love to him. No matter what anybody says. No matter who you date, they will never be good enough for mommy and daddy. (Unless they pick the person) Second, don't focus so much on love. Give it time. I don't know how old you are, and personally I don't consider it an issue. If you focus on love, you will be heartbroken if things don't work out. I'm not saying set your standards low. I am not saying don't love this person. What I am saying is spend time with him. Enjoy the relationship. Don't get married young. And for gods sake don't get married without first living with the person. People seem VERY different when you have to share space with them. Trust me about that one. Don't rush. True love doesn't need a wedding band. If you love someone, being with that person should be enough. Sex is nice, but even that isn't necessary. The company of your significant other is all that is necessary. If you two love each other than that is all that matters. Marriage and sex are over rated. (Sex is nice, but still over rated) If you love him then your parents will eventually come to the realization that he is sticking around. They will either come to accept it, or they will disown you. I know this. I have been married. I was only 19. I told my parents the day before. At first they accused me of being crazy. They made some pretty insulting comments, and I told them to go fuck themselves. They learned to accept my wife and even grew to like her. You are your own person. Heres a motto that my stepfather taught me. "If you don't fuck me, feed me, or pay my bills......Go fuck yourself!" Your family is an important part of your life, but you didn't choose them. You were born with them. You couldn't change who they were. Your boyfriend is somebody that you chose to bring into your life. Your parents should respect your decisions. And if they think you are a fool for being with him...... remind them of who taught you. What examples did you have to follow. They are the 2 biggest influences in your life. Whether you know it or not. Everything that you have witnessed from them as a child has molded you to be the person that you are today. Everything from not enough hugs to the overprotectiveness. They have made you who you are. If they are unhappy with that, then they should try to do a better job next time.

have some respect for yourself and leave that boy alone. there is plenty of fish in the sea, feel free to look elsewhere. after the fact they will only label you as a hoe or slut and i am pretty sure that neither guys are worth the drama that will follow if you do choose to date his boy.

Hi, sorry to hear about this situation. Personally, I think you are going to have problems with this relationship. I am not saying that this is not going to work out, but I am going to give you a few things to think about.\n  Right now, I think he is too young for you in a lot of ways. It would be different if he were 20 and you were 23. He would probably be at your level maturity wise, but right now, the fact is that he is not.\n  Your life is probably going to be very different in a year or so. You are probably going to go to college or at least start school for some kind of trade. This is where the problems arise.. You are at a new stage of life where you begin to get older and are on your way to a mature adult life. There will be things that you will be experiencing that is going to be different from your highschool life. In time, your boyfriend is probably going to feel left out. Its like two ships passing through the night. Your going to be on totally different levels.\n   I personally think maybe you should really wait this out. He is really still young, and I think he has some growing up to do before he involves himself in someone that is older. I think three years is a lot when you are 18. When you are 19 do you really want to be dating a 16yr old.\n  I know people are going to say age doesn't matter. In most cases it doesn't. But I think at this stage in your lives it might matter. I could be wrong, but I think you should consider dating guys your age or a little older.\n  If you do consider that you still want to date him, proceed with caution. Maybe you and him should discuss things with your parents to see how they feel about the situation. If they don't see problems with it, go for it but just keep certain things in the back of your mind. The whole legality thing is not going to matter unless his or your parents have a problem with it.\n Good Luck!

if this is about love and a guy, your parents are right.  you're only 17, you don't know much about love and the world.  i'm only a year older than you and i'm still working on trying to figure it out.  your parents are just trying to make sure you don't do anythign stupid, and though its true you need to make mistakes in order to learn from them, you don't want to make a mistake that you'll regret.

oh, my god are you in love if not you are totally lve sick if you can't talk to them why don't call ,write a letter or email him. why don't you talk to your mom and tell she that you have boy problems it the best thing to do just don't let boys use you. make the boy talk to your mom before going out with him.

you are in for a rough time..  but  that is somehting everybody goes thru .. dont let morons get you down :kicks mr boo boo up there: be yourself.. go up and say hi make alittle small talk   give him your number(if your parents let you) then dont obcess over it. go out and live your life.  if he calls  he calls  if he dont   he dont  your 13 boys will come and go  dont live life form one boy to the next.. thats a habit many adult women still havent broken , you do not need a boyfreind to define yourselfor   to be cool   learn who you are and what you like, before you go tryin to figure out some boy  once boy hits puberity  theres just only one track on his mind. you will get sick of his whining to do it  you will either give in or break up with him

My answer is . . . dump his A**.\n\nBut I do have a question for you . . . is why do you have a boyfriend . . . you are too young to have a boyfriend.\n\nPlus . . . what do you want to do in your life . . . have a well paid career or ask if I would like paper or plastic. You tell me.\n\nI tell guys . . . don't get married - - don't even be in a serious relationship with a girl. . . until you have fulfilled your career goals . . . because if they do . . . their girlfriends are going to complain that you spend too much time at work or school and don't spend enough time with them. (This can be reversed)\n\nSo what do you do . . . sacrifice your education or career and for them and then they will complain that you spend too much time with them . . . you are smothering them. (it is a double-edge sword)\n\nAll the boyfriend is going to do is waste your time and money . . . and when you make serious mad money . . . when you are in your mid 30's . . . you can afford the best.\n\nI hope you take this into mind . . . don't get into a serious relationship . . . you really should have a boyfriend . . . if you expect to do good in college. . . and I am not talking community college . . . I am talking University . . . you should expect the best of yourself . . . and you will get the best man for yourself later down the line . . . someone with the same dreams and goals as you.

Your relationship seems rock solid. Don't let anyone including your parents get in the way. Your parents care about you and want the best for you. They haven't taken your relationship seriously yet. Make your parents respect your relationship by investing more time in your relationship with your fiance and less with your parents. Show them you are perfectly fine on your own. Oh, by the way, marriage is cool too. Don't be afraid.
