Ok I live in Opelousas, LA and I have a boyfriend and he lives in Lafayette, LA . We live like a few miles or two away. And we are both 17 years old and you see I dont know how to drive but my boyfirend does but he dosent have a car. So when I want to see him I have to go to my brother's house and it isn't that often that I go there for some reason's like I have to work, go to school, and sometimes I jsut dont have a way to get to Lafayette. And well I finally found a way there and so usually my my bf comes to see me and well last night he did and well it was little late when he came and well my brither and his wife got upset about him coming around that time and also they dotn even trust us enough that they dont ever really let us have time alone. So they said that I cant go to there house any more becuase of lastnight and if I cant go to there house any more then I cant see my boyfriend and I cant even go to his house becuase no one will not let me. I dont know what to do?

At 17 you both could get a job, learn to drive and get a car then seeing each other won't be as much of a problem. In the meantime you can keep in touch online.
As your other question has to do with you worried about being pregnant, your brother and his wife have a right not to trust you being alone with the boy as they don't want to be a party to you becoming a teen mother.

I remember the things I was doing at 17 and well I can understand why your family is trying to protect you. You both are still young and right now you aren't able to see each other and have a full relationship like adults can who are on their own. That time will come when you are out of school and move out on your own. At this point in time, you have to settle for seeing your bf when you can and try not to get so wrapped up into him that you feel like your world is ending if you don't see him.
Your guy going over to your brother's house late is disrespectful. Try talking to your brother and see if you all can set up specific days and times your bf can come over. Let him know that you are responsible and you won't do anything inappropriate under his roof. It will be okay. Start making plans for your future that will lead you down the right path of getting out on your own.

You need to copy and save this question you submitted. One day when you have children you will understand everything clearly. At 17 I think there are way more important things for you to be worried about. Do you know how many men are out there? Its time to put your big girl panties on and get busy in school go off to college have fun learn a lot and then worry about a boyfriend.

I understand your point but also your brother's... have you tried to assure him that that won't happen again and that he can trust you? Have you showed him that he can trust you? It is normal, even if for you may not seem so, that they don't leave you alone a lot; you are still very young and that sometimes frightens parents/brothers....

drama drama drama - unfortunately for you until you are 18 your parents are your bosses and you need to respect them and do what they say. even though you may not believe me now but someday you will thank them for loving you and for caring about you. they are only doing what they think is right
