I think everyone struggles with this at one point or another with their parents.  I know I have.  The main thing is you need to make the decision for yourself.  Who is it that you are going to be growing old with....certainly not your parents.  It's difficult to cut those ties between being an adult and still being viewed as their child.\n\nThe "adult" thing to do, is tell your parents it is ultimately your final decision.  Tell your parents, respectfully, that you will find out through trial and error which man you will ultimately spend the rest of your life with, but in the end it is your decision, not theirs.  This does not mean you love them any less, but their support and love are needed in different ways at this point in your life.  On the other hand if they do view their opinion about something do not ignore it.  Place it in the back of your mind and think about it.  Sometimes a third party can see things that an individual may not see due to the emotions involved in a relationship.\n\nGood Luck!  I know I have let some good ones go because my father "didn't approve", through time and the wise words of my aunt, I have learned what I mentioned above.  In some ways having that "adult" conversation with my parents, they show me a higher level of respect then they did before.\n\nDon't spend your time "proving" anything to them, you will only make yourself tired.  Parents and loved ones will choose to see what they want.  Only you and your boyfriend know the whole dinamics of your relationship.  Just don't be "blinded" by any red flags.

There are other ways of telling him you're not a teenage girl.  Try this rather novel approach.  \n\n"Oh by the way, I'm not a teenage girl."

I am in my 20's and scared for all these people under 16 trying to find boyfriends on line.  They need to enjoy their childhood not be looking for love.  Its dangerous.  I am suprised how many young people are on here.

When your a teenager you'll definitely do this. I know I did when I was a teenager. I only had one boyfriend my parents really didn't like, and I wish I would have listened to them when they were trying to warn me about him. He turned out to be a very abusive guy. Sometimes parents see what we don't see and are just looking out for you. At other times they just simply might not like the guy and he could really be a cool guy. Just make sure this guy is respecting you above anything else.

Here are your options.\nMake fun of them for something about them\nIgnore them.\nDon't be friends with them.\nTell them it's rude what they are doing, it's in your family tradition to not remove body hair and so they are insulting you and your ancestors.\nMake friends who like you for who you are.\n\n\nBTW. How do they know you have a hairy VAGINA? Are you showing it to people???\nYou are at an age that no matter what you do someone will make fun of you. This will probably be the most judgmental time of your life. \nAll teens are like that, it's a time during human development that tries to force individuals to conform to rules and social standards, those who do not conform are rejected and are ridiculed. \nThe joke is that no one conforms 100% and some of the best and most interesting people you will ever know conform the least.\nDon't shave or wax it, just be 14, you never will be again. So forget these people, you won't know them in a few years anyways, and be an individual unto yourself.

its never wise to lie to an adult ,you will 9 times out of 10 get caught and adults are not usually so stupid as not to notice when they are being sucked upto ,so my advice is forget it, your more likely tobe liked for who you are than you are for trying tobe someone your not .

try to talk them about it. They simply can't be like this for the rest of their lives.\nSet up a plan to let them talk privately. And don't try to side with one person.. OK? ;)

leave em alone! Im sure they're old enough to make their own decisions...what they do in their personal life has nothing to do with you....unless you're jealous or something

People tend to say that the best thing you can do is show a teenager that you love them and are there for them by sitting down with them face to face and asking them what is wrong, what is troubling them.  By doing this you are showing genuine concern for them and where they are at in their life.  Don't talk to him like is a child, talk to him like he is a young man, and tell him that he can talk to you about anything and you will not get mad at him.  Let him know that this time in his life might be fraught with much confusion, and he might make bad decisions sometimes but that it will be okay as everyone makes mistakes and needs help at sometime in their life.

It's true, some communities run the young men out of town when they are teenagers...to keep the old lecherous man:young girl ratio manageable.\n\nIt's really sad what happens to these boys. For more information, click on: http://www.getadad.org/

Because of all the peer pressure out there nowadays. Even the most head strong kids can give into this. More and more teens are having sex at younger ages, and most parents figure that if they are strict when it comes to dating, then this is less likely to happen to their child. But this can totally backfire, because some teens can become rebellous and go out and have sex just to make thier parents mad.

avoid them and hang around with better people (thoses who are you friends no questions asked). also stop letting them use you can also be attempted so that they will get the hint and get lost.

Well first off you totally ruined it by excluding sex. j/k I'm usually thinking of better ways to get the kids to shut up and pay attention. How I can get back at that person that cut me off in traffic without being shot or going to jail. How I can get my boyfriend to just see it my way without hurting him to bad. But mostly I think about how lucky I am to have people in my life that truely care about and love me for who I am.
