My mom and my dad don't like the idea of me having a boyfriend. But i love him so much we have done so much with each other. I know how sometimes girls say that their boyfriend loves them, but homestly my boyfriend really does. He has already expressed his emotions to me. And he even tells me he loves me in front of our friends and people we don't even know. My parents don't like the idea but i am moving in with him next month. We have known and been with each other since we were in eighth grade. I love him so much. What do i do? I want to keep him and i also want my parents to be happy. Help!

Well u can't really MAKE your parents happy but have your boyfriend do something very thoughtful in front of your parents so maybe they'll except him and you together more.\n                    :-) try it it's work for all my other friends.

I wish my parents would let me have a boyfriend. Im almost 15 and they wont let me. It's not like i'd be stupid and have sex with him or anything like that. I've already had a "boyfriend" but we could never go anywhere because I had to keep it a secret from my parents or they'd practically shoot me. Ughh, this bugs me so much. >:(

Wow your parents are being very selfish.  It sounds like you've made up your mind about your boyfriend and leaving him his not an option.  My advice is to move out asap.  You're 25, they can't stop you.  You're parents shouldn't hold that over your head...they are saying all that stuff to CONTROL you.  Trust me, sounds like something my mother would have said to me when I lived at home.  We get along a lot better now that I'm not living with her.  I don't think you're parents hate you but they are not being fair.  \n\nThis might sound out there but did you get your college degree yet?  That might help you get a better job and be able to afford living on your own.\n\nAnyways, I hope you feel better and I'm sorry you have to put up with that.  Again, move out asap.

First, depending upon what state you are in, moving in with your boyfriend could get him tossed into jail.  Check out the age of consent in your state.\nIn most states, by the time you are 18, you can move out and do what you wish.  In the meantime, you must learn how to deal with your father on this issue.  He may not understand and may never agree, but you do need to let him know about the depth of your feelings for your boyfriend.

Who's hormones are we talking about?  Yours or you parents?  Young love girl, do what you want to.  Date the guy and have him talk to your dad!  Let him win your dad's heart, and your in there.  Don't let something like that ruin your chances dating this guy.  If you really want to date him.  THEN DO IT......\nCasper

heyy--i was in that situation a while back when my boyfriend and i got together. he lived 50 miles away from me, about an hour-ish drive in california. anyways, it took him a while to come around to see me...but i guess what really pushed him was his feelings for me. it sounds to me that you and your boyfriend have not seen each other much the past two years or else you guys would know what to do by now. what i can tell you is that, talk to him in a very serious way...don't brush it off as an unimportant issue. it's important to have physical contact with someone. i've learned in my psychology class that physcial contact, whether it be a kiss or a handhold can help push the relationship forward. tell your guy that he needs to step up to the plate and come see you, even if it means confronting his fears of your father (and oddly enough, YOU?). if he's still a bit apprehensive, i think he needs to do a little bit of growing up because a guy who cannot come see his girlfriend of two years because he's scared of her daddy is not worthy of you. so, do what's in your best interest. talk it out with him; if necessary, give him an ultimatum--either he come see you, or he hits the road. if he toughens up, then maybe it'll work out, but if he's still a little wuss, call it quits and find yourself a REAL man. Good Luck!

If your dad says that you are allowed to have a boyfriend, why not have a chat with him about it. Don't necessarily tell him that you have a boyfriend, but just mention that there is a boy that like you and you think that he is nice, but he is just a friend. How would he feel if you went on a date with him. Doing it this way you are just testing the water so to speak. Just mention it casually too him, and then leave the situation for a while.\n\nThe thing is you don't want your dad to hear about you having a boyfriend some someone else, at least if you start testing the water, its a start to try and gage what your dad's reaction will be

Where's the problem?  Do you parents or friends dislike you dating someone white?  Sounds like it's not a problem for you, as if you were against dating someone white then he wouldn't have made it to boyfriend status; keep loving him and let anyone who objects know your feelings.

You're the person that is going to be in the relationship, NOT you're parents.  Plus, emphasizing outward appearance is not something parents should teach their children.\n\nIf he's a great person and has a great personality, that goes WAY further than his looks.  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and if you think he's a beautiful person, who cares what he looks like.\n\nI say go for it and if your parents hassle you, just say that you're not dating him for looks, but for the person he is, the way he treats you and the way he makes you feel.\n\nGood luck

First, if you love him I don't see how you could even care about his looks at all. Second, if this is the sole reason that your parents won't let you see him ,it sounds rather shallow.\n\nIf you love him, explain the situation with your parents & then remain friends. Once you are 18, there is nothing your parents can do about it, so long as you live on your own. Granted, the full legal age is 21 but, if you are, let's say, away at college, how can they tell you whom you can & can not see?\n\nIn truth, how you handle this entire thing is up to you & your true devotion to this guy. If you've known him for nine years you can't be too young so I'm thinking it will just be a matter of time before you can be together.\n\nGood luck!

Children never want to see their father with anyone other than their mother.  You and your boyfriend have to decide what your relationship is and then discuss it with the children.  Tell them that you want to include them in your relationship and hope that you can all find a way to do that.  You will have to be prepared to accept their answer whatever it may be.

Okay it all depends, do you love her, are yall gonna get married, if she supports u more than ur parents then go for it. Besides, ur gona have to leave the house at some point in ur life to have ur own life and be a man. And yea u took a risk, cuz u never know wat the future holds and u guys could breakup, but point is u left the house as ur own man with a life, and ur parents should cut the cord and accept ur decisions. Its time to make ur own decisions and they should do no more than say okay. Its understandable why they said what they said. My fiance and i been living together for awhile, we have a son and every decision we make is for the best for him, and we are HAPPY. So if our family dont approve, then they are losing out, we never told them to divorce or leave anyone they were with or else. But u should try to contact them a couple of more times, try to talk to them if theyll listen, but it sounds like they just wont let go, but both parties should consider each other and why they feel the way they do. IF you and ur girl are happy then great. this has nothing to do with ur girlfriend, its between u and them, and this can make ur relationship with ur gf and parents stronger if yall make a final decision of the end result. i.e. mom and dad are gonna do this, my gf and i are gonna do that, the end. Just remember they all love you.

Livi, I have a daughter, she's 21 now.  I would be heart broken to know that she was hurting and confused.  And if she doesn't even know you got your period, then honey I think you need to skip the boyfriends for awhile and get to know your Mom.\n\nI remember when I was in the seventh grade, you are going through a lot of emotional stuff right now.  A Mom you can talk too would be great.  Can't you see yourself sharing some of this with her.  Please try.\n\nNow, about this nineth grader.  If you really really like him, then talk to him.  Tell him up front you aren't going in for no kissing and no touching.  If he can't deal with that, then drop him.  If he's truly interested in you then he will give the chance to be comfortable with the idea of kissing him.  My daughter broke up with a boy because he started smoking again.  So, you be careful with young man.  I don't want to read on here later on that you went out with him and now you are pregnant.  \n\nKissing, touching, and even sex is fun stuff, I am not going to lie to you.  But with it comes other stuff that's not so fun.  You don't sound you are ready for this kind of relationship, and if you don't want to sound like a "baby" or not cool, then tell him you are grounded.  Or tell him the truth that you haven't gotten permission from your Mom, and she would ground you for life if you went out with him without her ok'ing it.\n\nLivi, please see if you can speak to your Mom.  Give her another chance.  We parents don't always don't know the right answers, but we do care.\n\nGod bless us all..........

Just be careful...you're still very young!  Living with someone and dating them are two different things.  Its very diffcult, even when you have a good relationship.  Why don't you just stay there for the summer and see how things go...and if that works out then move in with him.  I wouldn't just throw my bag over my shoulder and go down there without a plan (i.e. a job lined up, a school that's accepted you).  Your mom is right in being concerned b/c it seems to me like you don't have a real plan other than moving in with your boyfriend.  If you want your mom to accept this plan you need to show her that you actually have a PLAN.  Just moving in is not a plan.  Apply to some schools down there, and apply for some jobs, and maybe she'll be more apt to support your move.

First, I am very impressed that he respects his parents enough to end the relationship and be just friends. 15 is young and from his parents' point of view there son is growing up too quickly and doesn't need the added pressures and heartache of dating yet. They are only try to do what they, as parents, think is best for their son. It is their job to protect him. You need to understand and respect that too. \nHonestly, his parents may do their best to keep you two apart, afraid of how their son feels about you and the strength of the relationship at such a young age but if it love and if it is meant to be, you two will find a way. Time. Just back up a bit, make it easier on him to respect his parents' wishes and show that he can be responsible, mature and earn their trust. You can still be friends, they can't really stop that but for now you have to let go and let it be. It will hurt but it's the right thing, for you and for him and if you have any hope of having a future with him. (Pissing off his parents will put a nail in that coffin really quick)

First off, are your parents living in the dark ages...\nGo and do what you want [Not what they want] go see your boyfriend and his family..\nTell your mom in a nice way NO I am going to visit with my boyfriend and his family and that is final. \nYou are 20, you tell them what your plans are and go for it..They have no hold on you anymore...\nSome parents just don't want to let go, but now is a good time to stand up for yourself....

you are only 19,just because he does'nt want you moving in does not mean that he is not in love.you have only been togeather for 8 months it's far to early,just carry on doing what you are doing and not tell your parents,and why do your parents not like him?.it can be done i was only with my partner for 8 months and 12 year on were still togeather,but im only one of the lucky few as not very often you hear relationships would survive that.
