I personally believe love is a beautiful gift and the greatest God can give and that any religion should be able to accept that. With all the suffering in our world, when the Great Spirit see's love he/she/God must be happy to know that us humans are using the hearts we are given and two souls are connecting spiritually to share their journeys on this earth together. You and your boyfriend musn't be afraid, when the time comes, to announce your love. It is wonderful and something to enjoy and such a shame you have to hide it.
I cannot predict how your families will react but tell them that love is a gift, and you can't control what is meant to be. I hope you have great happiness.
Take care.

You have to follow your heart.
Some people would choose their family and some would choose their boy. Some would feel they made the right choice and some would regret it afterwards.
As you say, you are only young so give it time. What you have may last forever, and it may not.
You don't need to get your families involved, so just have a boyfriend and live your life. You aren't going to get married or pregnant any time soon (CONDOMS!!!) so there doesn't really need to be any drama.
Good Luck!! xx
