tick-tick-boom agony auntHey i dont want to offend you or your culture.

But i think it is important for people to experience love at your age for all good reasons.

If you tell your parents and they are not accepting you should stick up for yourself!

Really man, Your young you shouldnt primaraly focous on education i mean yea its important but youve got to be happy right?

It's better to learn lessons in love now when your young because it will save pain from when your older.

Good Luck! X

thnaks for ur help, let me give some more details, i love my culture its not as if love is wrong or anything, it is just like at this age parents as any are more keen on education etc but this is stronger in asian societies, i love this girl and i want to be with her, the only risk is when we go out, gfor eg say if an aunty or uncle sees us, it like gives a bad name for the girl, (if that makes sense) and i don't want to ruin her life, however the chnaces of bein seen are very very low, so we can be together but i just don't like takin the risk of hurting her, also i wanther to concentrate on her studes also plus i have gcses very soon. thanks for ur help, i hope what i just said gives u a better understanding :)

clobear agony aunthi, well i dont really know much about the culture, but it depends how strongly you feel about this girl, if you love her then i say go for it, my parents didn't agree with my relationship as there is 7 years between us, but after a while they got used to it. however you dont want to fall out with your parents so just be friends until you can be together, hope this helps you darlin, xxxxx
