There's a female named Brittany Morris who i've met at one of the football games when our marching bands crossed because she lives in another closeby town in Alabama and I was talking to her and asked her to come to the movies with me and my family she agreed to do it, but my family doesn't want her to come because they won't take the time to get to know her. They think that only one girl is fit for me at my school and I don't want to be with her... I dated her before and I really don't want to do it again. I had to sneak over to her house one evening just to meet her parents. My parents just don't like long distance relationships. I feel like a real jackass because i'm letting my parents speak for me. Can anyone give me some kind of advice on what to do in a situation like this?(My parents have done this to every female i've tried to date that's not at my school or in town.) I really like her, but I don't want to fight my parents because something really bad will happen to me.

Grrrrrrr....I hate when parents do that to their kids. It gives us parents such a bad rap. I think your parents are truly underestimating your sense of judgement because it sounds like you're a pretty level-headed kid. I can somewhat relate to you because my father and stepmother are very judgemental about anything me and my step siblings do....if it doesn't fit into their little box of what is just and right, then it's not acceptable....they continue to try to control me and I'm 33!!!
Unfortunately, I have to tell you that you're gonna have to decide whether to fight or bow down. Now, if by what you mean by something bad happening to you involves some kind of abuse...then you have every right to go to the police. But if you just mean that they write you out of a will or something like that...believe me, worse things could happen.
So until you reach adulthood....be assertive with them, but within the limits your under...always be respectful to them, but let them know you're growing up and need to experience life and that making choices is a part of that.
Good luck to you! And stop sneaking out...you won't come off as a responsible kid and they won't take you seriously if you get caught!

Open the lines of communication with your parents and your girlfriend. Be honest and let everyone know how you feel, because if you doan, you will find that you will be stuck in a loop of keeping your parents in the dark. If they still feel the way they do after you've done this, then you will know how mature your relationship is with both your parents and girlfriend. Then the hard part, is to decide whether or not your parents really know whats best for you. Believe me though, if you let them know your true feelings openly, then you will find a way. Good luck, young lover.

Well when you reach a certain age you have to decide things on your own and go with the way you feel. Despite what others think.

just to ask...how old are you ?? are you too young to date ?? if you are old enough, then you should not let your parents interfere with your dating decisions...as long as the girl you are seeing is nice and sweet (not any criminal or prostitute or drug addict) you should be able to decide for yourself...
