how do i get my parents approval?

The only way he will gain their approval is to clean his act up and show them he can be a good guy. They will be hesitant of course, and they should be especially if he cant change his ways. If he wants to be with you bad enough he can change…if not then find someone better. The stealing is whats manly going to be the problem, whether your with him or not when he does it it just takes one person to say that you were or for a stolen item to be in your possesion and your going down with him.

well it upsets me that they dont even give him a chance,and dont plan on it either.. he doesnt do that stuff everyday, just sometimes..

You are 14? Well baby your parents are right. Sorry to say but I agree with Mandyloo if he wanted to be with you that bad he would clean up his act. If he doesn’t how can you expect for your parents to give him a chance??? You can’t ask for respect unless you show you can give it. Obviously he can’t even respect his own body enogh to stop poisoning himself, then how can your parents trust that he will be good to their little girl. Put yourself in their shoes for a change and think as your parents if you were them, what would you do?

ok i have had a similar situation. Everyone has their flaws and he just happens to have ALOT of them but he has a good side if u dig really deep right? I know where u’re coming from I have had a boyfriend like dat once and none of my friends or anyone i knew liked him but he was really nice to me. He needs to show ur parents his good side, and if u rlly love him u should help him change his bad habits but dat doesn’t mean guarantee dat he will, he’ll only change if he wants to, if he doesn’t change there’s no reason y u shouldn’t continue dating him if u rlly love him then well nothing should get in di way of dat and what other ppl say shouldn’t matter

Your parents don’t want you hanging around someone who breaks into places which he can go to jail for. If you were ever with him when he did break into a place you would also be in trouble. Just ask your parents to let you hang out with him where they can see how he acts then they might let you go to the movies or somewhere. Try and get him to not do suck bad things that make your parents not want you to date him. Good luck sorry to hear that. Funmail me if you wanna talk.
