i'm in a relationship with a guy who's 18 and i'm 16. I'm a junior in high school and he graduated in May. the age difference really isn't that much. he's a nice guy but my parents just don't think it's a good idea. how can i convince them that it's ok? i mean.. whether they approve of it or now, i'm already in it.. soo.. they just need to accept it...

don't be in such a hurry, he'll be off to work or college and you'll still be in H.S. enjoy school for as long as you can. Have fun and lots of it, sorry but your parents are right. Also they love you, many parents just don't care what their children do. You are lucky, go give them a hug.

Continue doing well in school. Make sure he is to always show respect on any occassion, he should be doing that anyway. Never blow your friends off for him, continue that... Sounds like you parents are strict with you about this. Let them see that now and in the future your murals are important. Telling them they just need to accept it isn't going to work.... Prove them wrong and once they see you in a healthy relationship thier views may start to change and you can tell them he has alot to do with how you are. Your dating an older, more mature guy and you have to play the part as well. If you both want your parents approvall and acceptence......Prove it to them, play that part..... Remind them that they didn't raise no dummy and you just want to be happy. Make your parents always feel that they taught you well and not to worry about your decidion and if you need them, to be there for you... Hope it works out... Parents need to be reminded of what a good job they're doing, especially from their own children. But you do need to remind them that you need to make your own mistakes, and if this is one....You need to figure this one out on your own and ask them to respect that also....

If this guy is 'the one', waiting for your parents approval shouldn't be a problem. He'll understand. If, however, he isn't willing to commit the time until your parents become accepting, he isn't worth keeping around. I'm sure they're concerned with his intentions - and you should be, too.
