I'm fifteen but my parents.,

Question

I'm turning fifteen this november, but my dad still says I'm too young to have a boyfriend. Same with my mom. Whenever I bring up boys they're all over me. I don't know what to do. This guy I really like asked me out, and I might say yes. How do I tell my parents? Someone please help me. =/. Almost every girl in my school has had a boyfriend, and my parents know the parents well... but I don't know how to tell them. Its like they don't trust me.

P.S. were you dating by ninth grade? (high school) Like almost all the girls in my school.

Answer 1

Tell him he's not your boyfriend, you're just hanging out

Answer 2

..

Answer 3

Well have your parents meet him.

Then tell them that you will be safe and you are old enough and you wont do anything inappropriate with him.

If they see hes a good guy they will come around

Or you can just sneak it.  

Answer 4

Having a boyfriend is nice, but you are still too young, it will affect your studies. Just keep them as classmates and friends. Being in love, you will be thinking of him all the while, do you have time to study? That's what your parents are worrying about. If you do not study hard now, you will regret later on. He might love you now, but later when he finds that you are not educated enough to be his wife, he might not want you anymore. So always remember, study hard when you are young, there is no more chance to be fifteen again.  

When in love, you might do something which you should not do, resulting in pregnancy. This is what your parents worry too. So it is best to concentrate on your studies.

Answer 5

You may not like my answer, but i agree with your parents in some ways.  

While i do not see anything wrong with you having a boyfriend at school, and maybe talking on the phone, or even coming to visit your home once in a while, "dating" (as in going out with the guy in a car alone) is not something i feel a 14 or 15 year old needs to do.  

I think an exception would be going to a school dance where parents take you, or meeting at a sports event would be ok too.

I didn't date until i was between 16 and 17 - sometime after i got my driver's license.  I can't remember anyone else dating at 14 either?

I know you're interested in having guy friends, and i don't see anything wrong with a boyfriend, but the actual dates (except for what i mentioned above) really need to wait.

take care, and i hope you work something out with your parents.  i think they are simply concerned about your welfare.  

Answer 6

dont tell them=]

Answer 7

If you really like the guy, talk with your parents.  Explain to them you'll be going on a group date (way more fun and takes the pressure off) and maybe they'll consider.  Or just tell them you're going out with a group of friends, which is true.

I wasn't dating by ninth grade, although I wanted to at the time... I just turned 16 and I just recently got a boyfriend... its worth the wait, trust me.

Being single is way underrated.

Answer 8

I have never dated I am 16 i have never had a girl friend and I am in 12th grade. I believe that you should not date until you are ready to commit to the person. Dating before your are ready to commit is not a good idea and disobeying your parents is even worse. the Bible says "Honor thy Father and thy Mother that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee." Disobedience is wrong. Your parents are most likely tring to help you to avoid any difficult situations. you should trust them on this and obey them.  

Answer 9

i think you should go and talk to parents straight out about how you feel and stufff it might be hard but at least youll know for sure. and no im not really allowed to officially date and im goin in2 9th grade so that kinda sucks. but then again im also 2 shy to even flirt with a guy. so i guess that makes it a little better. good luck i hope this helped

Answer 10

good luck with this!!!! tell your parents, that you will be careful, and u understand. but u want them to trust u. show them this quesiton. say how much it means 2 u. say there will always be adult supervision when ur together..... and yes by 9th grade i was dating, if some1 asked me out...... GOOD LUCK!!!  dont rush ur life!

thanks

Answer 11

it's your life

you are ready when you are

ps

it's not lying if you leave out information ;)

++Me and my friends don't have bf/gf's, but we haven't had the opportunity, and rarely is it genuine in that grade level, if you like him and he likes you, that's genuine.

don't pass up the opprotunity! Tell your parents that you are becoming more independant, they might be more proud of you then

Answer 12

honestly? don't tell them. if you can't avoid telling them about it, explain calmly that you aren't a baby anymore, you know how to protect yourself, you know how to make good choices yourself, and that they will just have to learn to trust you a bit with your own life. if you aren't calm AND respectful as you tell them, you have absolutely no hope.  

Answer 13

Hey; you may not like my answer but I've come to a realization. Once my Sophomore year ended I realized that dating in high school is completely over rated. The only thing you'll get from it is: Drama; regret; hurt ; disappointed ; your parents already don't like the idea , I also don't understand why it's so imortant to have a boyfriend at this age anyways, it just ruins friendships on top of friendships. You saw how things are becoming ruined between Andrew and Amanda;; people are pestering them. [[It's me Courtney]] I'm not trying to convince you otherwise just getting a point across. I know you;re not suppose to care what other people think, but who really has that outlook on things? I shouldn't be looking at it through the class is half empty but it's the harsh reality of high school dating ... pointless.  

Answer 14

Ask your parents if they would be willing to reach a compromise with you so they can see you are trustworthy and mature enough now to have a boyfriend.  

If he hasn't met your parents yet tell him he needs to come over and meet them.   Would he be willing to ask your parents if it is ok to take you out?    Also, maybe you could ask them if they would be willing to let you go on a double date to say a movie theater, or be willing to take you there and drop you off and come back and pick you up if doing that would make them feel better.  

Just tell them that you want the chance to prove to them that you can be trsuted.  

Answer 15

Just talk about it with your parents. Be nice and convince them into letting you date! You are old enough!! Lol i asked my mom if i was allowed to have girlfriends and she said yes and im only in 7th grade!! But i havent had a girlfriend yet. Relationships r complicated lol

Answer 16

im 15 too and im glad im not dating till im 16. things will get way too serious but it really is your choice. your parents are just looking out for you. plus if you tell him youre not allowed to date till youre like...16 then you guys can hang out as friends and find out for sure if you really like him.

Answer 17

i totally know what thats like. my parents are the same. and all those people who say just be honest... well its not quite that easy when you know how your parents are going to react. Listen. If you realllllly like this guy and you think its worth it, go for it. it's not that hard to hide it from your parents. i've done it. but if you feel really bad about that, then you can discuss it with them, see what they say, and go from there.  

Answer 18

yes I had a boyfriend in ninth grade, but everybody's parents are different, sit them down, explain to them that you feel you are ready, maybe you could go on a date where you'd be home early, somewhere close to home, ask them what their concerns are and try to meet eachother in the middle.

Answer 19

Tons of kids in my grade date and I am in 7th. Im not allowd to date until Im 15 though :(

Im sure my dad will let me but my mom wont. SHE IS OVERPROTECTIVE:)
