you are 18 now if you feel you are ready and can take care of yourself then go live your life... i am sure they have never been there and there is no way they could understand what you are feeling, i am sure they wouldn't want what is best for you. I heard it from my son so many you just don't get it you don't understand, But i understood way better then he ever thought that i could. but when he became 18 he did his own thing now he is 22 and says.... mom you was so right about so many things if only i had listen to you more.

If you are of age I see no reason why not.....Your family is probably just worried..There is alot of stuff going on these days and they might just be trying to protect you...Talk to them and tell them how you feel

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.

If you are still a kid or teenager you really need to tell your parents.  If you are an adult and concerned for your safety or something like that notify the police.  I wouldn't call 911 or anything like that, but contact someone with authority.

That depends.  Do you have an idea as to how they will react?  If you think they'll be okay or just a little weirded out, tell them when you feel comfortable.  If they are strict and really religious and you can see them having a huge issue with it, wait until are, or close to 18.  That way you have the option of moving out or at least being an adult where they can't control your life so much and you can make your own choices.  \n\nIts scary, but now days they have church camps where they claim to 'cure gay teens'.  If you think your parents are that exreme, it might be good to wait.  Coming out can be scary, but be strong in yourself and who you are.  And always remember there is nothing wrong with you no matter what others may say.

Well unless they have invented time machines, and you can go back and get your parents to f_u_c_k on another night, your stuck with your age. As far as the other one, once you turn 18 you can change it.

You should tell your parents. It is better for you to tell them than it would be for them to find out. Trust me on this one! Just tell them that he is more of a friend and try to explain to them your reasons. Ussual works.

You tell him the truth about how you feel and should respect your choice.  If your under 18 though I encourage you to wait and not just jump into this.

Well, I know how it feels to have that happen to you and I can truely say that just talking to your parents and the same time would probably be the best way to tell them how you really feel about it. If they don't listen, just try to understand that everything happens for a reason and you may not like it. But God always has a plan. Trust me. I hope I helped you out!

Youre not ready for sex! lol jk. Honesty is the best policy. Telling youre parents the truth could open them up and be more understanding. There are no negative things about birth control. It just shows your parents that you are capable of making the right decisions for yourself and doing what you believe is best for you.

If your not old enough then you can have your parents, allow you the privalage of using it.  (or you can just lie about your age) oops I didn't say that.

From my experience, coming home late or breaking curfew was a major way of testing my parents trust. Considering your ages, I am surpised that your parents are so restrictive. Ask yourself, what is this 'bad' that they think you're doing? Did your parents come from deeply religious families? Were your parents also restricted by their parents? What about her parents? It may not be fair, or make a whole lot of sense these days, but that could explain some of their methods. Do you or your girlfriend have troubled pasts, maybe trouble with the law? Did you ever have a truancy problem with school? Don't think that I am blaming their behavior on you, I just want you to think of all  possibile reasons. It almost sounds like you two live a bit far away from eachother, and that might explain why you're only allowed to see eachother twice a week, and talk on the phone for only half an hour a day. Have I nailed it yet? No? Okay, parents may not seem to make any sense some of the time, but they are your parents. Like it or not they have say into your relationships. The more you show respect for them and their wishes, usually the more trust they'll have for you. So if you're considering sneaking around after dark or anything like that, don't try it. Chances are you'll get caught, and just imagine how often you'd get to see her then? Probably not at all. I know this is a hard time for you both, you're almost legal adults, but until you turn the magic age of 18, you just have to bite down and endure this. You will get through this, just be patient with her and your parents. I am going to assume that talking with your parents wont make much of a difference, but there is nothing wrong with trying. Ask them what it is that they fear so much, and do your best to put that fear to rest. Assure them that you intend to follow their wishes, and do so when you're out with her. If they see that you're true to your word, the less likely they are to shorten the leash. I get the feeling that their fear is your sexual activity. It is my personal opinion that you two are at the ages when your sexuality is your business, however a parent will feel like your business is always their business. You can be 50 years old, and they'll still consider you their baby. Being that your sexuality is your business, I hope you wont mind if I give you a piece of advice: protect you and your girlfriend and use a condom every time. Anyway, you will get through this, I promise. Good luck.

If you're a teenager, tell them and let them deal with it. It's not like they have that much control over your anymore (or, if they do, it's not healthy). If you're preteen, you probably shouldn't be going on a date, but just tell your parents your going out with a friend, and make sure they thing you're just their innocent child.\n\nJust as parents like to "put their children in place", parents also occasionally need to be reminded of what their proper place is. If you can't honestly tell your parents that you are dating, you will have a really poor relationship with your parents. And just immagine telling them you're getting married or are having a kid.\n\nBe honest and if they have a problem with it, that is their problem. But don't make it a bombshell like, (as said from a 14 year old boy) "Dad, you remember my best friend Mike? He's not really my best friend. We've been meeting up for gay orgies for the past 4 years. Oh, and I used your icepick to give myself a Prince Albert."

Wait until the time FEELs right. I think you are still exploring. Nothing wrong with finding out who you are before announcing it to the world. or your parents. you will feel more natural in it as you delve into it and your emotions. maybe try living on your own first and making your own life, then telling her will seem more safe?

The easiest way to tell your parents is to simply sit down and ask to have an adult conversation with them. It's best not to sugar coat anything, just keep it real. Tell them you have a boyfriend and it might be nice if you tell them that you would really like them to meet him and get to know him. That way they feel like they are involved in your life. Whatever you do don't put it off any longer because the longer you wait the worse it will be when you tell them.

just remember that your parents are scared and shocked and dealing with alot of things right now. you didn't say how old you are and that makes a huge difference so adding some details will help, let them come around on their own and be willing to talk to them about it. also make sure you are practicing safe sex EVERY SINGLE TIME!
