writes: POSTER AGE INCORRECT: 13 I believe I have found the love of my life. But, a few weeks ago, I found out we might be moving. I'm only 13 but I couldn't stand having to be away from my boyfriend. And, my parents are being bitches about it. My dad is the assistant principal, and my smartass science teacher got us in trouble for PDA. I was sent to my dad's office! So now, my parents are being really protective of me and not letting me go anywhere or do anything with my boyfriend. I'm real busy with track and softball and he and I feel we never spend any time together. And I might be moving, and it would be pretty far away. How can I explain this to my parents? They don't understand. I love him, I can't stand not being with him. Every time we are not together we are on the phone or texting each other. How can I get my parents to give me a little more freedom?

This is in response to what 'satindesire' said:True love is possible at her age. Just because it didn't happen for you doesn't mean it's impossible!! I have some friends (14 and 16) and their parents had been together since they were 14. And I can truly say that their relationship seemed to be almost perfect!!!Also the teen who posted this wasn't looking for rude and patronizing comments like what you said and if I was her I would have been very annoyed/angry/upset!!You've blatently forgotten what it is like to be a teenager at your grand age of 24!!!! But I can't help thinking that you were dissing her, which, in my opinion, is not at all helpful/constructive for a teenager!!!

 Perhaps a lot of us wish we had more freedom when we were growing up. When you have arguments with your parents it's like the worst thing that can happen at the time isn't it. Whenever I had arguments about more freedom, permission and not being allowed to do something, it's hard to understand at the time isn't it. However I can look back and realise that my Mum was only concerned and these issues were out of her wanting the best for me, not to run off the rails, being a teen mum, drugs, anti-social behaviour etc. I guess your Mum doesn't want your relationship to be serious and have it turning into an adult one.

 I know how you feel. I also know youll get over it. If you really want him, talk to your parents. If they say youre too young and are really patronising, ask them to speak to you adult to adult. Persist. Say what you feel. Explain that you really like him and that ye click. Keep a cool head. I know this is hard but, like i said, if you want him, do it. Sorry i couldnt be more helpful.
