It sounds to me like you are making excuses to yourself to let him go. What it comes down to is whether or not you want to stay with him. If you really feel like he's the one, fine, go for it. If you feel like you are ready to date and try on some new guys and learn from this relationship - please do so! I think it's smart to try on different types of guys and see what you really want in a relationship, or even if you want one at all! I learned the most about myself the times I was single and I know I am not alone in that.
At the very least, take some time off from men, get to know yourself, and then decide what you think is best.
Good luck!
P.S. Parents usually just want what is the best for their children and what makes them happiest, don't throw your parents advice out the window just yet.

Let him go and enjoy your life. You are 17, so much still to do. And whats this you don't want him doing any good with his life. Sorry but that isn't love. If it were you would be supporting him, helping him and wanting him to suceed. Put it down as one of lifes many experiences, treasure the memories, then give yourself time to mature and grow into the best person you can be. You will be amazed at what youcan do and also the new loves that are waiting for you

that question has too many compounding variables. In different words there are too many different elements that come into play to furnish you a correct answer. i'd opt for a quite some subject matter. Say that a kin that prays together continues to be together is style of someone who eats receives fat. there is too many questions with both. Does the kin have any psychological ailment, alcohol abuse, economic complications, or member that only aren't any more non secular?

i think you should do a list of pro's and con's and see which out weighs the other-be impartial, no brownie points! lol i've been in a relationship like that before, i was 17 and he was 21, cute marine, but the same problems as you. i decided i needed someone more closer to my age, same goals, less pressure and problems with the parents. it was the best thing that happened to me. i met other people, other guys, fooled around, partied and finally met my prince charming. dont get me wrong, me and the prince still have our problems here and there but i really am in love with him. i met him when i was a senior in high school and we're still together, sharing living space now :)
certain situations work for some people and dont work for others, weigh out your options then follow your gut instinct-its never wrong.
good luck

listen any relationship is hard especially with differences like this. your parents aren't the problem. think of this pretty soon you may be going to college and he'll be 21 soon which means he'll be able to hang where you cant . Not to mention the new people and experiences you'll encounter. you wont always think of him as the one that got away, if you stay he may become the one that broke your heart. ride it out for now and see where the future takes you but don't put either one of your futures on hold.

Go out and enjoy your life. Go to the college that you want. You are too young to be worried about a 20y/o. You should be worrying about your SAT scores, applying to schools, trying to get a scholarship, picking out your prom dress and planing what your going to do after prom. GO have FUN!!! Your only 17 once in a lifetime!!! Enjoy it while you can. Good luck!!!!

move on and just think of him as the guy that got away.
Please. And try to be more of the angel your parents hoped you would be.
You'll meet lots of guys, but there's only 1 you. Don't waste yourself.

You need to seriously evaluate your relationship. Voice your concerns to your boyfriend but you can't force him to stay and not go to a college out of the area. He needs to take care of his education and that's important.

i think you should move on. you dont want a guy to screw up your future. your life shouldnt be put on hold because of him. you should go to college and dont let him hold you back or you will regret it someday.
