Answer #1

I’ve got a question to I am 14 and I have an uncle and I love being at his house with my cousins I go over every chance I get im there every weekend I hate my house everyone is always whining and moaning and screaming but when I do anything rong im always grounded or w/e and my bros tell my parents no and forget you etc and nothing happens to anyone besides me its like favoritism I dont no but I am unhappy at home I dont no what to do

Answer #2

You’re am idiot if you honestly think your going to marry someone at 14. That is disgusting and 100 percent revolting. You will love your dad in time, and that boy is just a boy. There are many fish in the sea. I honestly am completely disgusted by this chat going on. You’re parents and you don’t get along because you are 14 years old! I didn’t get along with my dad at that age. BUILD a BRIDGE and GET OVER IT. Good hell, I can’t stand over reacting little kids.

Answer #3

I honestly think you and your dad should try to work things out i know how you feel because me and my mother dont get along but i am 17. i think since you are so young that you should stay with your dad im a little different because i only have one more year to go and then i could legally move out. if you think you and your boyfriend are going to be together forever your wrong! You should always remember that blood is thicker than water. dont let a boy blind you from that.

dnt call 911 ure still a child. he’ll be taken to court and everythin u are betta off tlkin to him then callin childline or nspcc(im english) if u have and equivelent. 911 is only for emergency responce call outs. if ure worried he is goin to hit u try to record it and then if u have to go to court it can be used as evidence

Answer #5

In agreeance with olga, you are very much too young to be involving yourself that close with your boyfriend. A person (regardless of age) should never move in with someone, unless it is a relative, if there is any type of dependancy. You would be dependant on him and his parents. You are 14, I know you think you know what is best for yourself, but you do not. Work things out with your father, unless he is abusive to you - it is normal to hate your parents. It’s called being a teenager. Stop trying to grown up so fast - you will regret it. Megan

Answer #6

Okay, first of all, it’s normal not to get along with your parents. Stop overreacting. Unless he’s seriously hurting you, you have to listen to him and respect him. He’s your father, after all. You’re 14, and I know that you and your boyfriend might think you’re close now, but trust me… things like that usually don’t last. Besides, you don’t want to spend TOO much time with each other, that’s a quick way to ruin a relationship. So, don’t move in with him and listen to your father. He’s your parent and he loves you. So, unless you have good reasons for moving out, just deal with it until you’re old enough.

Hi, well, your not stupid for feeling this way, don’t worry lots of people feel like this.before you do move out try to talk to your dad, explain how you feel, and try not to get frustrated at each other. If you’ve got a Grandma or Aunt (something like that) maybe try to stay at there for a few nights for a break away from your Dad. Its good the way you and your boy friend are (maybe try not to rush into things like marrying yet!) Hope this helps!! xxx

Answer #8

Okay, She’s not an idiot for thinking that she’s going to get married to this person. I’m 15, and know just about what she’s going threw. Except it’s my mom and I that don’t get along AT ALL. Like its almost out of controll until my dad comes home from his road trips [he’s a truck driver] My aunt has been with the same guy that shes with now since she was TWELVE! So dont think it’s impossible to know who your true love is at any age. bc they’ve been together for over 30 years. But yeah, try to talk to your dad, like be serious with him and try NOT to yell, it’ll only make his decision more well stable I suppose you can say. and In time you’ll eventually see that really, all your parents are doing, is trying to protect you. I know, people tell me this all the time too, I know its true, and I know you really dont want to take it into consideration, but hey ya gotta sooner or later.

Talk to him and tell him how you feel about your boyfriend, ask him to let you move in for a while to see how it goes and if it goes bad then you can always move back in with your dad.Tell him you just want to see what it will be like.Im in the same boat your in except I live with my mom and I want to move in with my boyfriend who is 17 his parents said that it was fine but my mom says that Im too young{14} but in my opinion there is no certain age you have to be in order to have feelings for somone but it seems like nobody can understand that so all I can say to you is good luck and hopefully it will work out for you!!! P.S Feel free to e-mail me any time if you need advice or have any!!!

Answer #11

I want to move out also but instead of a boyfriend I can move in with my sister she is almost 19 and she says I can move in with her if I can help with rent I have a lot of money saved up and I can also get a job so I can help with her. but I dont know if it is legal to move out at the age of 14 I have searched it a lot but I cant find anything so if you now if it is lagal or not…is it?

Answer #12

Sweet heart, no matter what, please do not marry. If your boyfriends allow you to stay with them, that’s fine but please DON’T marry or get too involved with the young man. Obviously there are things you need to work out within yourself before you even concider getting seriously involved with another man in your life. Get help from your teachers, coucelor, church, any body that you feel truly has a concern for your well being. Don’t keep it all bottled up inside and try to resolve it on your own. You are still under age and as such you need adults to surround you with help. Please ASK for help…God will answer your prayers…just have FAITH o.k.

Answer #13

I understand how you feel, I’m in the same conflict as you do or even worse. I think that we’re at the same age now since you posted this question on 3 years ago. I don’t know if you still have the same problem or not but I know this is happening to many teen. I even have hard time myself. I don’t want to tell you that you should marry him or not but you need to notice first that do you really love him or not. I’m in deep love with my boyfriend but we will wait until I’m 18. I know that its really hard to wait and I know that you don’t want to but there are nothing that we can do when we underage. but if anyone teen out there want to move out which I think many of us do we have to wait, time will go by fast even before you notice.

Talk to him and tell him how you feel about your boyfriend, ask him to let you move in for a while to see how it goes and if it goes bad then you can always move back in with your dad.Tell him you just want to see what it will be like.Im in the same boat your in except I live with my mom and I want to move in with my boyfriend who is 17 his parents said that it was fine but my mom says that Im too young{14} but in my opinion there is no certain age you have to be in order to have feelings for somone but it seems like nobody can understand that so all I can say to you is good luck and hopefully it will work out for you!!!

Answer #15

don’t let anyone tell you how you feel. my aunt and uncle have been together since junior high and recently celebrated their 25th anniversary. they moved in together when she was 18, and they are a happy couple. people dont know how you feel and there is not a certain age where all of the sudden you’re able to be in love. don’t rush into things though, and try to talk it out with your dad. you might want to consider moving in with a close family member or maybe a really close friend, moving in with your boyfriend could possibly get messy.

some people also do not understand: a. that you could be a mature 14 year old, more mature then half of the idiots posting answers to your problem. b. the relationship with your father could really be a burden and be impossible to repair.

  • my parents divorced when I was 8 and we have a lot of problems that can never be solved between us.

just think everything through, and maybe explore some other options.. be smart.
