How can I get my parents to trust my boyfriend and I?

I’m 13 and I have had a boyfriend for almost 16 months. My parents saw an email that I was sending to my boyfriend and I was completley over reacting in it. I have mental depression & now they are worried about me. I can’t go anywhere with him, he can only come to my house. When he is at my house we can’t be alone. How can I gain my parents trust? And also we are moving in the next couple months so I don’t have a lot of time. My parents rules about dating is making me more depressed then I was before.

Well you are only 13. They are scared of their daughter doing something she will regret. You can’t regain trust overnight. Trust me, Me and my girlfriend when we dated before used to sneak out. I’d bike 20 miles to see her, and we’d hang out when her mom was at work. Well, we got caught about it one night, and now, over a year later we are dating again. I have to live with that mistake I made with her, but I’m willing to do it, because I love her. Her mother still doesn’t trust us, But if you can hang around your mother with him, and bring him around your parents much more. They will see and understand and give you more trust. Hang around your parents with him a lot more, let him get to know your parents. That was my girlfriend and I’s worst problem. But we’re fixing that now.

Just don’t do anything that will give them more ammo to use against you and him. But don’t bank on being able to be alone with each other ‘till you are older. We all know what happens when teenagers get together alone. ;)

Answer #2

convince them that he is worth it,then maybe you could bring him over to your house so that they can have a sort of interview with him,once they are convinced he is responsible ,you make sure he always sees your parents and acts politely

Answer #3

my boyfriend and I had been trying to hang out for a long time and then when I asked my parents said no. I sent him a reaaallly long apology letter with a lot of self downing of myself in it. It talked about how it made me feel worthless and I was sorry about a billion times. I used words like worthless, useless, depressed, awful, terrible, horrible etc.

Answer #4

I was just really upset ya know I didn’t completley feel all that horrible I just got kinda carried away.

Answer #5

What did you say in the email? That’s probably important.
