writes: A few months ago I broke up with my boyfriend. He was my age. A few weeks after that, I started dating a guy who I had been in love with since I was 12 (I'm 14). He is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me, and what makes it even more incredible is that he feels the same way about me. He's one year older than me. Unfortunately, my Mom isn't very keen on him. She says that she prefers my ex-boyfriend. I honestly can't see why. He had been cheating on me. I really want my Mom to like my boyfriend, as he is coming round to my house tomorrow. He's very nervous, as he has never met a girlfriend's parents before. How do I persuade my Mom to give him a chance, and try and explain to him that my parents will like him for being him, the same way that I love him for being him?

Remind your mum that your ex cheated on you and hurted you, so isn't good boyfriend material, and then say that she doesn't have to like him, but you would appreciate if she would at least be polite to him and meet him. Whether she does or not is another thing, but at the end of the day he's your boyfriend and that's it.
