Answer #1

i have the SAME exact problem. i’m fourteen and i’m sick and tired of adults telling me that what me and my boyfriend have is “puppy love”. i know how you feel, you feel as if no one but you and your boyfriend know how you feel about each other. which is the truth.

BUT, i can see where the adults in life are coming from. even though they don’t know every single detail of a young one’s relationship, they can base it off what usually happend when they were young. so don’t completely blow off your dad. listen to him, and try to understand the way he feels. if you feel it as love, accept it as love, and don’t let anyone else get in the way of that. but that doesn’t mean don’t listen to anyone elses opinion open minded.

Answer #2

Well im in the same situation, not with the dad thing but just getting irritated when adults go on and on about how were too young!! If you really like this guy, just REMEMBER to know the right from the wrong, and at this age we all do its the chosing that makes it hard…hang in there and be tough!

Answer #3

Dads will get like that!!! You’re daddys girl, maybe he doesn’t want to let you go, or get hurt. Keep the guy, just don’t plan on your relationship to work. Relax! K?

Answer #4

14 is too young. I know you guys don’t believe that. When I was 14, I had a boyfriend and I had no idea what to do with him whatsoever! When he wanted to have sex and I wasn’t ready I got dumped and hurt. I was too young.

Why always in such a hurry? Wait another year or two, get into it slowly. Having a boyfriend is often simply a status symbol for you kids. As in a “see, someone thinks I’m hot” kind of show off way. But when you’re alone, what are you going to do? Make out, go around the bases, have sex? Too young at 14.

One day it will all make sense to you kids. for once, try to trust and believe what we adults are telling you.

Answer #5

Obviously this is your first love. Love changes as we get older. What you thought was love at 14 was really infatuation. Young love rarely lasts.

You really need to respect your dad feelings. He just doesnt want you to get in trouble, and do something you might regret later. Sneaking behind his back wont make things any easier either. You will just make the situation worse. Whats wrong with keeping it on the down low? If your bf cant understand where you dad is coming from, then he doesnt truly like you enough to stick it out. You are still very young…you may think you know what you want…but people change…things change, and its out of our control. Just take things slow. Maybe in time he will change his mind.
