well..sometimes theyre rite and sometimes theyre wrong. it depends on your situation. teenagers think they know a lot about love and wat they want for their future...but as you get older...you notice that the things you did when youre younger are stupid. it all depends.

You didn't mention how old you are so of course that matters, but odds are if you're 25 or younger your parents do know more about this topic than you do.
HOWEVER because you don't know about love and relationships is NOT a reason to avoid them. NOBODY knew anything about love and relationships before getting into them. Thats why there is always your first relationship where you learn about that stuff.
The big question is how old are you. If you're 8th grade or younger hold off, if you are in high school or above you should be able to begin dating with very tight constraints.

It depends on many variables. I have to ask how old you are. People often say "age doesn't matter" - but in fact age does tend to matter. As you get older your definition of love evolves. When you're a teen, it's a constant battle between hormones and emotions without the responsibility of being an adult. Once you realize you need someone to love who can be an adult (responsible, mature, rational, etc.), then you'll have a different perspective. Since it seems that you're a teen, I will have to side with them.

Parent's act in a manner that typically puts the best interests of the children first. I would assume they know you very well so listen to what they have to say, but make a decision for yourself. It takes practice to get experience so you do have to eventually get out there. Just remember, there are a lot of social problems out there. Don't become another statistic. Play safe!

It depends on how old you are. I would wait a while and ask them again. You need to date and have relationships in your life so you can learn what love is all about. You also need to heed the advice of your parents at this point in time. Wait awhile then ask again. During that time prove them how mature you are in handling other situations in your life.

Unfortunately, love and relationship learning comes from experience (not from a book or Yahoo Answers), so there is no way for you know more about those things without diving head-first into them. How FAR you should jump in (how involved you get) is dependent on your age.
Good luck!

Give them a grown up answer like....I know that you feel I am immature and all and I appreciate your opinion but I feel that if I never get into a relationship that I will never know what its like so how will I ever experience that? That you have great teachers and that you want to someday experience something like what they have...and practice makes perfect. Assure them that you won't move fast and you will def take things really slow but you need to know what it feels like to have a relationship. Good Luck!

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
parents are always right about these things they want to keep you out of mistakes they have made when they were in your age
ask yourself do they want somthing wrong for your live? of course not
their opinions have only one goal and that is your benifit
of course they want you to love and be loved but in the right time and eith the right person.
listen to a middle age man who was a teen not very long ago

They are wrong. Only you know how serious you can feel for someone else. Tell your parents that you know you'll make mistakes, and that you might get hurt, but that's what life is about, and that's how you'll learn to be better in the next relationship.

Let me give you a little advise. Always listen to your parents. Apparently they know you and your age. Love and relationships are for mature adults.

How else are you going to learn about relationships if you never have one. I would be more concerned about the "depth" of the relationship based upon your age and experience.
But to answer your question,they are sheltering you too much.
