When your children are growing up and finding their own partners, you may not always like their choices, but think before you impose your views on them. I had a big falling out with my teenage daughter about her choice of boyfriend, which left things tense between us for months. We made up eventually, but it made me realise that nothing was worth compromising the relationship I have with my daughter.

What is it with the bad grammar/spellings/CAPITALS on this page.
If you can't type properly, you're probably too young to have a boyfriend.
My mum is alright with me having boyfriends, she trusts me not to do something stupid, and pick someone worthwhile...But who knows? It's not worth arguing about, a good tactic would be to tell your parents that they are entitled to your opinions, as you are to yours. And in the end, they only have your best interests at heart.
Another thing FIONA if you guys have sex, its statutory rape. (and caps lock can be located between the letter A (left middle row) and the edge of the keyboard.)
Im a 14 Year Old Girl And Have a 15 Year Old Boyfriend. We Find It Hard To Speak Or Spend Time Together At School Because We Are In Different Year Groups, Soo We Often Speak Over The Phone. He Always Rings Me After School Or Sometimes In The Evening Which I Think is Really Sweet.. But My Mum Is Always Standing At The Bottom Of The Stairs Listening To My Convosation Simply Because She Does Not Trust Me. My Mum Thinks It is Wrong For Me To Be Having Boyfriends At My Age , I Find This Very Hard To Accept As I See All My Friends At School With Their Boyfriends. I Do Try To Tell My Mum How I Feel For Him But She Doesnt Understand Because 14 Year Old Girls Never Used To Have BoyFriends Back In Her Days.. My Best Friend Has A Boyfriend, They Have Been Together For 8 Months Now And They Are Still Going Strong. They Go Around Eachothers Houses , Meet Eachothers Parents, Go To Parks Together.Its Not Fair! Why Me? .. I Really Want This Relationship To Last With My Boyfriend As I Feel There Is Something Special Between Us . But I Got A Feeling It Wont Last Much Longer if My Mum Doesnt Start To Realise How I Feel I Just Wish My Mum And Dad Would Meet Him And See What A Nice Person He Really Is.. All My Mum Thinks I Want Him In The House For is SEX! .. First Of All I Wouldnt Do It At My Age As I Realise How Easy It Is To Get Pregnant And How Can She Really Think I Would Do It While She Was In The House ? She Says She Hates Him But How Can She Say That If She Dont Know Him . Any Girls In A Similar Situation With Their Parents... Write Back

I have a boyfriend and he is 3 years older than me, My parents won't except that we're together and broke us up but now were back together. But the relationship between me and my parents is really bad we don't talk and when we do we argue and weare not as close, all of this is putting a strain on my relationship with my boyfriend. A nd i don't know what to do but what they don't know is that he behaves better than the boys my age.
