He's 16 like me... And it's not the fact that I CAN'T travel alone...
It's that my parents wouldn't let me... their too overprotective..! I know that it's for my own protective but I wish that they would just lay off me..!

Have you actually met this person before, or is it purely an online relationship? If it is just online, you should try talking on the phone before even thinking of going to see him. He might not be who you think he is.
Can he not travel over here to see you?

Leave it for now. You should keep in touch with him via the net, but I wouldn't be travelling so far for a lad I've never met. Wait a couple of years (if it's meant to be you should be able to keep a cyber relationship up that long) and then he should come and see you. It's unreasonable to expect a teenage girl to travel a long way on her own, get him on the plane instead, in a few years.
PS: I really really hope he isn't a middle aged pervert xxx

Have you never heard about situations like these in the newspapers??? Jeezo. Hes probably a fat 50yr old loner with nothing better to do than prey on girls. If hes so important to you, keep him as an acquaintance over the net, but draw the line there. Its just too dangerous to travel to a completely unknown to you country to see him. Try making some worthwhile friendships at home.

this guy says hes 16 but he could be 50 and looking for a young girl to prey on for all you know
The net is very risky, full of wierdos and bad situations, stop contacting him, you're in love with emails, not the person who you probably know nothing about. If he is who he says he is and genuinly likes you hell wait till youre older to meet you.
Go find a nice boy who lives on the same continent as you!!!And you're parents are doing a good job, theyre protecting the child they love and when youve got kids youll do exactly the same
dont do anything stupid

Don't travel way over here just to meet strangers off of the net. Its too risky and way too dangerous plus you will probably be more than disappointed in what you see. More than half of the people on line like about their appearances.

16 is too young to travel alone to a country, you've never been to. To meet a guy you've never met before.
If you got in ANY kind of trouble who'd be there to support you in an adult sense, he might not turn out to be the perfect friend you think he is. Is he able to visit you, or can you take an adult.

well if you are clever enough you would not try to meet this lad....he could be someone he's not and certainly DON'T go travelling to USA to meet him, if you want to meet him then get him to come to UK and book him into a hotel or something, meet him when you have people with you, sometimes it's all good having a friend on the net but believe me i know that some people are NOT what they say they are...take it from me, i have experience in this and i regret ever meeting her, she was a complete b!tch and disrespected me and my home, don't go meeting this guy until you know who he is and what he's about...your parents are right not letting you meet him, they care about you, so listen to them....

i think ur parents are doing the right thing. don't travel alone just to meet someone u've never seen. if u've got a relative there it might be better but it's still not 100% save. how long do u know him? and darling are u sure he feels for u too? even if he does i think u must lif time to tell. i know u think u know him enough. u might know him but not enough to visit him out of the country. just wait he might dicide to visit u

If it's meant to be it will happen. keep emailing each other until you are old enough to travel and have the money. If either of you is with someone else by then, and happy, then it just wasn't meant to be.

You should be afraid. There are plenty of predators online. He may not be anything like what he says he is. Do not go anywhere alone to meet someone that you met online. People get raped and killed making that mistake!!!!
