There is nothing you can do to make them understand just like there is nothing they can do to make you not love him. may sound like an old lady but they only want what is best for you cause they love you! You are their baby girl no matter how old you get. Sorry darlin

As a parent myself, I'm not looking forward to seeing my daugher grow up and date some guy.
You do have to put it into perspective though. Your parents are doing what they think is best for you.
You are extremely young right now, and 'love' that starts that young is rarely love at all. The most likely situation that will happen is that you'll probably break up before you are 18 anyway, as like I said, they rarely last when started at a young age. There will be a lot of chopping and changing of partners in the next few years, so don't be in a hurry to have someone and stick with them.
I started dating much later than all my friends. I was nearly 20 before I did, and now I am 26. I had a relationship that lasted for a while, and now I have a beautiful 6 year old daughter to speak of. Although my ex is no longer part of our lives, me and my daughter are quite happy.
But you are young, and you have your whole life ahead of you. Don't rush anything. You may think that you are in love now, but you still have a lot to learn.

They just don't want you to get hurt and sometimes older guys just want a piece of booty! They have been your age and know what they have gone through they do not want you to have bad times or do anything that may hurt yourself later!
All I can say is that you have to ask your parents to get to know him if they agree have him over often and see if your parents grow to like him if not them I would listen to them b/c they see something that you can not about him! Love is blind and it is true especially at the age you are!!!! Life is to short you should be hanging out with your girlfriends and dating many not being tied down to one guy right now you don't even know yet what kind of guys are out there that the world has to offer you.... Never have children wait till you are at least 25 - 28 you haven't even experienced the bar and club life yet. Oh fun fun fun especially if you are single....

2 years is the typical age difference between boyfriends/girlfriends of your age. He's not too old. Maybe they just think you're too young to be seriously involved? I'm sure they're worried that he'll try to push you into something you aren't ready for. If you've already tried talking to them about it, maybe it would help if he talked to them... they'd gain a little respect for him, and may start to see what you see in him.

just be mature about it...show your parents you can be grown up and they are more likely to co operate. Just sit them down and tell them that you know they are worried about u and him but they have nothing to worry about and they can trust you to not to be pressured into anything. Also it will help if you prove that you can be reliable by getting any hwk and chores done before asking to be allowed to meet up with him or phone him. This way they have little to hold against you.

Been there done that your parents are right on this one. I dated a girl that was 2 years younger than me wont make that mistake again.
You know how everyone always says when your older you will under stand well this is yet another case of that.

if yiu are 14 and he 16 he isn't old. it's very good if you love each other:)i think you must talk with parents in serious and tell them that you love him very very much.if your parents don't know you is he , he must visit to your family. but remember that your parents want you only the best!!!but you are only child yet and maybe your parents are right, but maybe no!!!who knows!!!!

Nothing. Listen to them and be careful with your heart. Nothing like young love, but it almost always is just that, a young love.

Your parents are just afraid for you, that's all.
Sixteen year old boys are very horny, and they just don't want you to make a mistake. Convince them you can be trusted.
