How can I make my parents understand ?
I'm 16, and my boyfriend is almost 20. I know what you're thinking, but it's not like that, we've been together since he was 16, and he's never pressured me for sex ever.... But, my parents never approved, cause I was 13 & he was 16..... Recently he moved back to India because his mom is really sick, and I want to go out and visit him in February. But my parents wouldn't let me go, even though I'm 16 & have the money myself..... How can I make them understand that I really love him, and he loves me?
He proposed to me just before he left....
Update:They don't like our relationship because he's Indian. I think that is just stupid.

Rhi; First off, you are 16. A minor and your parents do have control. Next, he sounds like a nice guy since he never pressured you for sex. Now , you have to understand that he is from another culture and if you did go there he might pressure you for sex. Also they tend to treat women quite differently there. Your parents are looking out for your safety. You can wait until your bf returns to see him. Please don't let your hormones over-rule your good judgement.
Hi Rhi. Your parents know best and you should trust them. If you are going to marry him then do so and then you can go wherever you like with him. It is impossible to know the intentions of a man who has not committed to you entirely. Best of luck to you.
