A good relationship is about communication, trust, and give and take. If you've told him that you're uncomfortable with it, and he is still doing it, consider talking to him again. Try to come to a compromise.
Also, try not to jump to conclusions. That will make you even more upset. Try to figure out what is genuinely going on before you start thinking about the worst. After all, if you are confident that he cares about you, and you alone, then this shouldn't be a problem (although I can see where it might bring you some discomfort), however, it seems like you might not be. Guys that hang out with their ex's don't always have terrible motives, some of them are honestly just interested in being friends, but keep in mind when you're coming to an ultimatum that he IS 15 years old. Don't do anything drastic until you're completely sure in your decision (you don't want to have any regrets), and like I said, try to talk to him again, one-on-one if possible (pull him aside in the lunchroom, or after school) it will be easier to judge by his reactions what his intentions are.
I hope this helped! :)

Don't get mad. That's the worst thing that you can do. My ex broke up with my because I didn't like when he hung out with other girls. I really made me realize that I was being a b*tch and that you just have to face the fact that guys aren't only just friends with guys. You have to trust him, until he gives you a reason not to. I mean I'm sure you have some guy friends and he doesn't get mad when you hang out or talk to them. Give him the same respect and trust that he's giving you. If you truly love this guy, you will be able to let go of the fact that he has friends that are female.
I wish you luck.

That's a tough one. I mean, honestly, yes, it can happen. My best friend and her ex-boyfriend have become best friends. They dated for a long time, then finally realized that they were closer as just pals than as a couple. They actually share an apartment at college now, and her new boyfriend isn't bothered by it - the two guys actually play football together on the weekends!
But that's just one scenario. I personally would have a problem if my boyfriend spent a lot of time with his exes - thankfully he doesn't.
If it really bothers you, then you need to sit down with your boyfriend and talk about it. It's important to try to give him the benefit of the doubt and believe what he says, but if he isn't willing to try to understand how you feel, and try to make things easier for you, then perhaps he's not the right guy for you. Because if he truly loved you, then he would put your feelings over these other girls'.
Just try to talk to him about it. If you aren't satisfied with the way the conversation goes, then I think you should seriously consider going your separate ways.

I know exactly how you feel...
My boyfriend and I have been best friends for 3 years and boyfriend and girlfriend for 2...I got so fed up with it...It felt as if my friendship with him wasn't enough...and I wondered if he still missed some things about the other girl...you have no idea how badly it ate up any trust I had for him. Especially because he seemed so eager to go and see her...
I broke up with him. Yeah, I loved him, but, I couldn't handle it. He didn't see anything wrong with it, I did...there were other factors involved with the break up, not only that, but, it was a huge part of it. I couldn't handle the pain anymore.
If it gets to that point, then, break up. Always put yourself before anything because no one else is gonna look out for you the way you can. You have to love yourself enough to cut all the hurt that he's putting you through, it feel so horrible...
Tell him, it's either me or that girl, and if you think that's unfair, then sorry but I'm not lowering my expectations. It was hard for me, after 2 years of really loving him...but I had had enough.

It might actually be a good sign that his ex's are still friends with him. Usually means he is really a good guy. I don't know how everyone is, but I don't have anything to do with ex-boyfriends who were complete jerks! I know it's hard to see him with another girl, but if you can trust him, then you probably have nothing to worry about. Whatever you do, don't tell him to stay away from his ex's. That will make him see you as an insecure girl, and you don't want to be seen like that. Just keep in mind that he is a good guy if people still want to be friends with him even after they break up.
By the way, I'm still very good friends with my first boyfriend from 20 years ago.

It is not okay for him to remain such good friends with an ex. Honey, he is just playing with you. It don't matter that there are parents in the house when he is hanging out with an ex, a lot can happen with two horny teenagers with the door closed. I have several ex boyfriends, and I am not friends with any of them. Why would you want to be friends with someone that you were originally dating, but you broke up? He needs to find some guys to be friends with, not an ex girlfriend. You need to lay down the law and tell him that you are not at all comfortable with this arrangement. Your best bet is to toss him out of your life, cause he is just going to keep hurting you. There are plenty of guys out there that would want to devote their time to just one girl.

I am best friends currently with my ex. Were best friends because im still more comfortable around him and we were already close friends to begin with. I never do anything romantic or touchy feely with him. I respect his boundries. He has a girlfirend and she sometimes gets a little irratated he still calls me. I think either you and him should sit down and discuss things together and tell him you reallly love him but it worries you whenever hes out with her (or other ex's).
I guess it depends on what status you guys are. Are you secretly gf and bf. or just really REALLY close friends.. If your in love with him 75% of the time hell be in love with you. Tell him your sorry your parents wont let you guys be closer than what you are, but you would hope that he would wait for you. If he contneues to flirt with her or hang out with her more than you. than sure dump him, because your "close enough to gf and bf".

well the ex is always a touchy subject and I don't think a guy should "hang out" with his ex's when he has a girlfriend. Its insensitive and is causing problems for you. You say you trust him but deep down it is hard to trust someone when they are with someone that they liked recently. I would tell him that this arrangement is not working out for you unless he stops hanging out with his ex's. Be serious and tell him straight out. If it bothers you that much then maybe this is not going to work out anyways. He needs to think of your feelings and ask him if he would mind if you hung out with other guys.. usually guys are hypocritess and do things but don't want their gf's to do it .. btw..Is he hanging out with them one on one or in a group?

Okay. I'm going to say this. You should be careful, but being friends with his ex does mean they're doing anything bad.
Say I dated a guy for a week. No sparks happened, we broke up, and now we're close friends.
So, I would suggest talking to HIM about it. Ask him why the relationships ended.

You are only 15 so it cant be "true love" its "puppy love" go with your heart if you like him stick around, if not then go. Trust me the whole life is ahead of you. As for ex's, well maybe they are older and he can do more with them like kiss and go out to the movies, you are just another girl that he wants to be with eventually.
