TORN and WORN

yeah, its just so tough, i cant picture my life without him, it may sound ridiculous, but I can always transfer after two years to anoter school...then he would already have his major and could go to graduate school but at the same time have a job with his parents helping him

 

That's true. As long as you still go to school and keep at least a 3.0 so that you can transfer easily, you should be all right. Good luck!

 

I Love - listen to Eden - that is exactly the problem I was addressing. When you come to the fork in the road, take the one that offers you - YOU - the best choice. If the guy from Peru really loves you, he will find a way to be with you while or after you realize your own dream.

I had a friend who lost his wife, and was at a loss about what to do with the rest of his life. He went on the internet, and happened on a lark to find the address of a girl he had been in love with many years before when he was in high school. It happened that she was unattached too, and even though they lived on opposite sides of the country, they met up again and are now happily married.

The moral of this story - for I Love, there is always another bite at the apple.
This is not the end of that romance if it was meant to be.

 

aww that's sooo sweet!! bless them!!

 

Advice? Try this. Put yourself in your parents place. I know you don't think they are putting themselves in you place, and maybe they aren't.

As far as strike 1 goes, this is either snobbish, or predjudice on your parents part. They obviuoly think their shit smells like roses and don't want your shit to stink either.

Strike 2? I would not want my daughter dating a man that got busted for anything other thatn a moving violation.

Strike 3? Don't you realize that you parents can have your boyfriend arrested for Statutory Rape? You are a minor, whether or not you are mature beyond your years, or not.

Teens almost never listen to their parents. Teens have to find things out for themselves. But, you want to know what happens when teens get 20 years older? They become like their parents.
I don't know you, but I would bet real money that if you had a 17 year old daughter and she was in the position you are now, I really think that you would sound to her just like your parents sound to you.

I have been both the teenager and the parent (My daughter got married 3 months ago).
I mean no offense to you, but you wanted advice and these are my thoughts on your questions.

 

i feeling rather soppy i am, if you get my drift

 

thanks everyone : ) i just talked to my boyfriend and he said hed be willing to make any sacrifices as long as im happy and even though him and my parents disliek each other, he said he understands i cant always buck them so me going to a good school would really please them (and me!) hopefully things will work out...: )

 

Bet ya a dollar it's not statutory rape for a 19 year old to have sex w/ a 17 year old in her state. I'm just guessing, but I'll still bet ya.

 

Keep him. Another guess...but I think he is a keeper.

 

To ILOve - you have made the right decision. Don't falter on your decision.

 

thanks, yeah i love him to death, hes a sweetheart, just conflicts like these can arouse some major arguments between us...but we are sorting through our options and i know i wont have to sacrafice a good education bc the schools we would go to would all offer good educations.

 

i'm glad you love him...its good to love!
