A female United Kingdom age 30-35, *hatsPHATT writes:

This sounds really stupid but my parents are quite strict and i'm worried they wont let me see my bf who is 16 and in college (i'm almost 15 and in year 10).

I don't tell my parents much anyway and this would be the first guy i've told them about.

I'm so worried they wont agree or he'll dump me if i don't tell them.

HELP!

drastic knowledge agony auntare you going to be 15 in the year 2010 or are you 15?

if your going to be in 2010 which means your 13 than i think its really up to you and your parents if hes too old or not

but as of my opion i think if your 15 and him 16 it would be okay as you would be 16 soon and no big deal really but if you are 13 and him 16 i really dont see how that would work out

but i hope all goes well and talk to your parents about you dating someone older

good luck

Aredas agony auntI think that you should tell your parents, and as Ginger said, they will probably assume the worst, but hearing advice never hurt anyone, it's just your choice whether or not you take it ;)

Firstly it's not really stupid, secondly you're worrying about the wrong things. If your parents don't agree with your choices then you really have to listen to their reasons for this, and their advice to you will only be beneficial especially if you have an open communicative relationship with them - something i encourage you to try. It will be natural for them to be worried because parents generally assume the worst, and all they will hear is "older" and "sixteen". I'm sure you understand the implications of this so I won't patronise you by explaining them. To sum up, be as open and honest as you can be, you can but try.
