I really like this boy but my family think I can do better than him since he's a high school drop out. Should I still continue to see him or just let our relationship go?HELP!

Sorry to say that some times your family is right. But in the end it will be your choose to stay or go. It’s is my strong opinion that we attempt to better other around as, so I encourage that if you do stay with him, push him into bettering himself in the education department, promote him getting a GED at the very lest. I say this because; as you increase your education a wedge will develop between the two of you. You will meet new people (men) that know interesting things, things that with out an education he will NOT be able to discuss with you and this will make communication for the both of frustrating and virtually imposable.

As painful as it may sound, I'd say let the relationship go. In the scheme of things, graduating from high school is not all that difficult. Unless he has some really compelling reason for quitting, he's demonstrating a lack of commitment. You don't want someone like that as a long-term partner. You're still young enough to meet boys in college or at your first job or church or wherever. Your family is right to be concerned about you if you settle too quickly. Trust me, it works out much better if your family likes your boyfriend almost as much as you do.

Just because he is a high school drop out doesn't define who he is. You need to look closely at his life and what he has done with it since dropping out and what his goals in life are. Those things should help you more fully determine if he is someone you could see yourself spending your life with. Education is very important in regards to someones future potential to provide for their family but there are instances where drop outs do just fine in life just like there are very educated people who fail in life.

Dropping out of H.S. does not make you a failure in life...nor does it mean you will not be a successful individual...and I beleive education provides the knowledge to obtain your goals...I think this is where your parents feel you can do better than someone whose goals are not going to be easily met...but it doesn't mean they can't be met....Being a drop-out may be a strike against him but I don't think it should exclude him from the game...give him the benefit of their doubt until when and if future failures amount to strike two and three and then consider him out.

Unless he's aspiring to be a rock star and has serious potential and public interest, I would definitely NOT DATE HIM. If he wasn't serious enought about his own livelihood, how can you expect him to be YOUR better half? He's lazy and doesn't have enough sense to graduate from high school, which is not hard, as we all know.
Of course, you parents are right. You may feel the need to nurture this broken winged bird, but in the end, you'll bring yourself down and hamper your life's potential..BACK AWAY FROM THE DROPOUT!

if your already doubting the possibility that you can even have a relationship, it already isnt working out. My suggestion is that think this through. Why do you like this guy? What do you like about him? What are you looking for in a guy? What do you want in a relationship?
and if your answers dont match with how and what the guy is then why put yourself through that kind of drama
good luck

what plans does he have for his life. you don't absolutely need highschool, but it helps especially if you want to have a family. if you love him, don't let go because he's a drop out. but if he won't be able to offer you what you'll eventually need... make some good decisions.

I wouldn't date a drop-out so I can't answer this. Your parents are protective, and right though.

It's your choice. If you have no personal doubts in this relationship then you stay in it. Noone has the right to tell you what to do.
