Parents think im too young for a boyfriend?
Im turning 15 in January. I have been with my boyfriend for 7 months. almost 8. and my parents STILL do not apporove of it. They wont let me hang out with him at all. It has been so hard. The only times i can hang out with him is if i sneak it, and im not that type of kid that would do that. But i have before, becuase i truley am in love with him. he has stolen my heart, hes the perfect guy i could ask for. he protects me, loves me, and is everything to me. but anyways, im the baby of the family, so im guessing my parents dont want me to see me grow up, beucase my 2 older sisters are out of college (ones in her last year actually) and idk. its just really hard for me and him to hang out. i've asked before for him and a couple friends to come over, but they said no. its not that they dont like him, because my dad met him once for 2 seconds. my dad said "i dont want to be his friend..." hes a joker about these things too. he used to be a butcher, so hes like "just tell him what i used to do for a job and i dont want to be put back in jail" of course he was kidding, but i just dont know. its so hard to hang out with him. we never really do. and we dont see eachother in school. we see eachother in the halls 2 times and sometimes have lunch together. i just really need help you guys. what am i to do? ive tried convincing them but it just ends up with us screaming at eachother and me crying in my room. it would be so much easier if they just let us hang out. i told them they can be in the room the WHOLE time. but they still said no. my dad was like NO BOYS UNTIL YOUR 16!! and my boyfriend said he would wait that long. but we've got in some fights about hanging out too. but he understands, but i mean, i get where hes comming from. i just need help you guys. please.
p.s.
i will not have sex. believe me. im a tough girl haha. ive said no to some things that other guys have asked me (when me and my bf were going out) and my bf and i decided we wont have sex right now or in a few years either.
and i dont sneak out, i just have to have like 3 friends with me and then i meet him at the movies or something without them going. but it sucks beucase we can never be alone and just be with eachother.
oops i mean
when me and my bf WERENT** going out.
and
without them knowing*** not without them going haha,

I know it seems really hard right now, but your parents have made their decision and it appears you have done everything you can to change their minds. Just wait it out, it's not that much longer. And remember your boyfriend is being very supportive, that's terrific. If he is the one for you and you for him than the wait will only make you stronger. Everything seems so intense right now, and it's hard to see far ahead but I promise the time will pass quickly.

Well, it really depends on how you feel about the guy. If you're in it just for the relationship then maybe it's not worth it. If he's a really nice guy then maybe you could try warming the idea up to your parents. Maybe have some friends' parents let yours know that it's not a big deal and it's not really that serious (because it isn't in middle school).

well, certainly you are more mature than those teenagers.you observe things and can interpret very well.they obviously dont want to accept that you are a big girl. it is you who should prove they are wrong. communication is the key for many problems. explain them you know how to protect yourself and the intention about staying away from trouble. sometimes parents are obsessed with the numbers.tell them about human psychology and explain that people wont be adult with a finger snap when they get to 18th age.wish you luck.

no offense to your parents, but they are being REALLY over protective.
i'm 12/13 and i had a really nice boyfriend,
and my parents let us go out to the park ect..
but this isn't about me, this is about you.
they should see how mature you are by now, if not then just show them.
get a job or something?
sneak out like once a week, i know you said you're not that kind of person, it's just an idea though.
your boyfriend is very understanding and you are really lucky to have one like that. just make sure he knows you love him. x

You're too young for a relationship but you're not too young to have a crush on a boy! Cool it, you have plenty of time. Enjoy being a teenager and don't get serious or preggers till you're out of college, have a good job and can support yourself.

14 is too young and that fact that you are sneaking to get together is not good. Suck it up girl. You need a wide circle of friends both male and female and the focus on one dude at this age is not wise.

Not until your 16, I think I heard that before! WAIT, that is what my parents said too! I think your parents are right no boy until your 16.

i met my boyfriend when i was 14...and thats when we started dating...i am now 20. and my parents wouldnt let me go out on dates with him until i was almost 16...you just need to continue to see him when you can, and show your parents you dont really care what they say you are going to continue to date him. its what i did and i'm so glad, because i love him so much. if its meant to be he will be patient for you, just take everything as it comes. good luck!

tell them that u really like him n u think he's the best guy you've ever met n he's protected u n loves u n is everything to u but u feel like they're ruining the relationship n u probablyy won't meet someone like that again - say he's willing to wait but u feel really sad about it that you're parents can't trust u

Too be honest I think 16 is a fair age though as a father I would pray that it was closer to 30. = )
