How do I tell my parents Im ready to give a relatiopnship a try?

This is my last year of High School, and although I’ve had quite a few chances to date and all, I knew it woud of been a waste of time and effort. (I dont see reationships as a joke or a game and I like to take things slow) This time… Im not sure if thats something I can truly tell myself. This is his first year in High School. And what a ride its been… I actually feel ike I want to give this a try. …Have no regrets. He’s younger but more mature than most of the tenth graders. Hes no 20 year old, but he’s definately me when I was his age. (Man, I sound old. Its just 2 years for goodness sake =_=) I just wanna see where this takes us. I want to give it a shot, but my parents (my mother mosty) are very… “mean” when it comes to guys (more like all the guys they think like me). We have absolutelly no communication when it comes down to reationships. (Bad communication in the past) My mother isn’t one to try and relate… She can say the cruelest things on the matter, and not know how she truly hurts me inside. I just want to be abe to tell them I want to give this a try, knowing well it will be a long distance reationship. Im not going to sugar coat anything with “were in love and bla bla bla”. We wont know what that’s truly like, until were past any infatuation and continue to mature. I want be there for what ever comes next. I just honestly cant imagine not seeing him again. Its that simple.Theirs something about us that dosent let us say good bye. Weve both talked about this so many times, and everytime I let him know about my position in the matter. I absoutey fear commitment. But for this kid, Im actualy willing to strugle over it! O_o I dont want this to be some stupid inmature argue-with-my-parents-everyday kind of thing. How can I get them to understand how I feel? My life is going to change dramaticaly, and hes one of the things I trully dont want to lose… If any adults with experience could answer, that would be nice…

Aw well good for u!!! I red your whole story belive it or not and I think that it’s great that your thinking about giveing him a chance and I think you should but your parent on the other hand nooot so much sooo here’s what I can tell u: tell mom how much it hurts you when she says those mean things to u, that will clear up a lot of stuf and when it come to leting you have a boyfriend this is way you gotta do: sit down with them one night and tell them all the good things you have done in your life, it could be anything, that makes it so they no your responsible for a boyfriend. Then what you need to do is tell them about your grades, show them that you WILL keep your grades up NO MATTER what!!! because that’s one of parents BIGGEST fear when it comes to letting there kid date…theeen you GOTTA let your mother and father meet the kid that’s a biggg thing that kids forget to do…we’ll hope it helps!!!

Answer #3

You need to explain to your parents that you believe in being honest and you will be dating this guy. Tell them you like him (don’t mention love) and you are going to take it slow. Tell them you hope they accept this choice you have made and support you emotionally as dating is new to you and you would like to be able to talk to them if you need quidance.

If it doesn’t go well, don’t hold it against them. This is a tough one for parents. All they can picture is the bad things that could happen.
