writes:My problem is my boyfriend's parents. I say boyfriend just to make things easier, when he told his parents we were in a relationship they basically told him to split up with me , stay good friends and don't go out with me until he is 18. I was upset but I could see maybe they had a point because we are young and I could distract him from his exams so I decided to play it by there rules, when he asked if he could see me they said no despite the fact we weren't even going to be on our own and we should be in there eyes just friends. So we keep in contact via skype now his Dad has said one skype call a day which may be due to internet costs but if I'm perfectly honest I doubt it. I think he is trying to stop me from seeing him altogether on the basis that we're under 18. I did also consider the fact that he may be worried about what we'd get up to but we are both Christians and I really can't see that sort of "stuff" happening with mutual friends around in a public place. I can't see him at school either. I am struggling to see why his parents don't trust him and what to do about it. Please help!

He needs time to mature, so he can make good decisions and handle having a girlfriend.
You do not understand their responsibilities in the matter. Your parents apparently do not supervise you as closely; so it is left up to his parents to monitor his activities. He's just a kid.
People your age are going through puberty, and will experiment sexually. You are much too young for them to allow such a risk. You show far too much interest in their son for a girl your age, and you're already considering him a boyfriend.
They are not being mean. They are being good parents and have a right to set the rules as they feel to be in the best interest and protection of their son. That's what parents are for. Religion has little to nothing to do with it.
Whether you like that or not, is unimportant. Your parents should be supervising you as well.
Until you are old enough, just make friends.
