if your parents don't want you two together then there must be a good reason?

a year and a half? Your parents can't be that upset, you both are mature young adults (I hope) and you shouldn't hide the fact that you care about someone.\n\nGood Luck

I think that you should respect your parents call on this one hun...sorry.  You are only 13, and your parents love you and are protecting you from experiances that you are not yet ready to handle.

First of all, if your parents don't let you, you can't. You are a minor. You can get emancipated, but that is a long shot in the dark. Frankly, you should listen to your mother. Getting married is NOT the answer. If he loved you to begin with, he wouldn't have gotten you pregnant, asked you to sleep with him, or agreed to sleep with you. It is a respect issue, and he obviously doesn't respect you. You need to respect yourself! Listen to your mom.

Hey Me.... I am a mother and would feel very hurt if my child didn't tell me what was up and ran off with a 21 yr old. May I suggest that you sit down and talk with your parents. Yes they may be upset at first, but their your parents and will love you reguardless. Here is something else to think about. When I was your age I was head over hills for a man 7 yr older than me. I dated him for a year and realized that I wasn't in love with him, but liked his company because he listened to me when I thought my parents weren't. When it turn out they were. Then I met this cool guy my age and we dated all through highschool. So if you will take a suggestion from a mom..don't rush into anything take your time, because you never know a cool girl your age may come along that you relate to.

What does your mom say? If shes on your side, then maybe the two of you can both talk to him.\n\nDoes your bf still live at home? Even if doesn't his parents could still talk to your dad.\n\nI don't think you should disobey him, even though you are old enough to be on your own, you are still living is his house.

Stop going out with him.  Your parents love you and want to protect you from harm. It's obvious that you know what you are doing is wrong and it's tearing you up inside.  Do the right thing.  Respect your parents if you ever expect them to respect you.  If you want them to trust you in the future, then be trustworthy.

You go up to them and say Mom, Dad I'm in love.\n\nPlz give some details.\n\nAre you a minor?\nWhat exactly happened?\nWho are you in love with, an older/younger person?\n\nOK, now I understand, You are more worried about your Father's reaction to him being black than your Mother's. \n \nI can tell that you truly love him, and that you want to have a future with him. I know it's hard going against your parents wishes, but since He's who makes you happy, it shouldn't really matter whether or not your parents/any other family member/s accept him as a member. Regardless of the ramifications I still believe that you should invite him over to your house, tell your parents that you both have something very important to tell them. Then just come right out and say it, "Mom Dad, we're in love."\n\nOf course, you do understand that your parents love you and only want what's best for you, therefore you must make them understand that he's who's best for you.\n\n CONGRATULATIONS! on finding true love, and I hope that things go the way that you want it to go.\nBest of luck!

I think you should talk to your parents and your boyfriend and remind them they both love YOU and out of respect for you, they need to act civil towards each other. Them fighting hurts you and only you.\n\nAs far as taking sides, make your own opinion about what's going on and stick to it. Maybe they'll start to see things your way.\n\nI know it can be very hard getting along with boy/girlfriend's parents, especially if one or both is convinced they are always right to the end of the earth. My boyfriend had to finally put his foot down and demand they be civil towards me. But at the same time, I also had to prove myself to them by working hard and showing I treated their son right.\n\nDon't take sides. Be your own leader and let them follow.

I truly feel bad for you,but you need to see or search the reasons on why your parents feel the way they do towards him,i mean i would take some heed to their actions,remember they have more wisdom from age and experience.However,if they really don't have the facts to back their actions,this is something you will have to face with your parents.Always be honest with them no matter if they are not going to approve.You are an adult,and you need to let them know that you are not trying to hurt them by your choices of life,that you are trying to find your way and if it is a mistake,then you need to find that out as well.This is how wisdom comes,with experiences in our daily lives.One thing to remember is your parents have an unconditional love no matter what,just like you do for them.I just hope your boyfriend proves them wrong and doesn't make you regret any decision that you might make.Without family,we have nothing! I hope the best for you,Good Luck!

i was in that same situation he was the world to me but you have to be able to decide if you love him or if you with him just because hes older and can make you experiance  thing that you havent felt befor and the more people tell you you shouldnt be with him the more that you want to be with him for the thril its more exciting doing something you know your not supposed to be doing. take care of your self and respect youself and your parents and talk to them to see if you can come up with an agreement best of luck to you .

Hi, what you feel now is understandable, especially at this age,well-known as crisis of teenager period. But please trust me, if your parents separated it is not because of you and you should not be selfish,they have a right to live their own lives,if they do not want to be together. Would you prefer them to pretend and play happy family when they may not be happy together. Believe me, if they are apart it does not mean they love you less - both love and cherish you and your task now to help them by being understandable. You will understand them when you will start dating and get married. Put yourself in their position: will you live with a person you are not in love anymore. I mean they still love each other but it different love, not passionate. Please be understandable you are mature enough,be brave.

Remember your parents are the ones to respect. There are rules of the house and as long as you are living under the roof, you got to obey them. Just calm down and try to take things little by little. Mothers are always like that. She is doing things that you might not like and that means that she cares and loves you. Sometimes, they have a funny way of showing love. Just stay in school and love your parents until you finish high school. Then, you will be in college and have more freedom. One day, when you are older and wiser, you will look back and realize that you would not be there without your parents. You will realize that you have two very important people in your life who you want to thank, your mom and dad.

Yeah they are right..... You should really talk to your parents first or if you feel uncomfortable talk to your siblings and friends at least you would be considering their feelings....... But do you really love your boyfriend that much? Are you really sure that you two are going to live happily ever after like in the fairy tales? DO NOT ruin your life... Guys come and go but families are forever.

Just listen open mindedly, and remind him that you will live your own life.  You may need his emotional support, but you are bound to make your own mistakes.  Parents are always overbearing when it comes to letting their children fly, so try to understand that what he does comes from a good place, and that he loves you.  He only wants the best for you, but in life, you must know the difference between him being a parent, and him speaking from experience.  When you can learn to differentiate between the two, you will become a better person for it.
