How can I get my parents to like my boyfriend?

My Boyfriend and I have been dating for almost a year and a half and my parents gave my boyfriend and I many chances like 2 or 3 already. This past year has been really hard. I am only 17 years and Im going to be a senior this year. He is out of highschool now. The 1st time we got in trouble for writing bad notes and they saw all of them and they also were listening on the phone about what we were talking about. Then one they I decided to ditch a class to be with him during his lunch hour. My parents ended it but I was still going out. Then I told him to talk to my dad so he did that for me. Then they gave us another chance and then in January we got cought kissing in the hall and then my teacher who is like a mom to me called my mom up. Then he got mad and yelled at a teacher and got suspended and ended in the hospital so when he came back I thought mabe I could say to my parents that we broke up and really we did not.he told his parents he was going out with another girl but really it was me. I told my parents that we did. We did it for 5 moths and my friend drove us around and she acted like his new girlfriend. Now they know everything cus my boyfriend’s dad called my house and he thought he was still with me while I was out with him so they they cought us and now my parents are mad and hurt. What do I do?

You really cant blame anybody but yourself for your parents not liking your bf. Look how many chances they have given you, and all you keep doing is breaking that trust! Its hard to gain back trust when you keep being so defiant .You and your bf need to start making better choices and act more responsible. Your acting like kids by lying, and sneaking around. It doesnt matter that you are 17, it wouldnt matter if you were 18..you are still living under their roof..you need to start respecting them, and their rules!

You think that after the 2nd or 3rd time you would have caught on to what they expected from you, but to them it looks like your bf is a bad influence on you, because they think he is pulling you into his direction and making you go against them! You need to start showing them that you can be trusted again..this time for sure!! Its not going to happen over night either!!

Answer #2

who cares about your parents you obviously care about each other alot so my advice is tell them that you too do really care about on another your 17 they cant makr you decitions for you

Answer #3

get a new bf

Answer #4

well i have been in that position before so what u do is talk to your parents and explain to them u really like this guy and it would be much easier if the would allow u to see him on the condition u dont get in any more trouble. wich shouldnt happen if he doesnt go to ur school. and if u want to talk to him on the phone in private unplug the other phones or usea cell phone

Answer #5

Well.. I went through a similar thing, where my father searched my room, found notes, has his friends & all spying on us & is really an idiot.. My advice, just talk to them, explain that you had no choice since you cared about him that much. He’s a big part of your life, & they need to support you, make them understand that he will not be going away, & that it could ruin your relationship with your parents if they continue to act like that.

Answer #6

Well talk to your parents about how good your boyfriend has done to you and tell them how much happy you are with him. Maybe they could see your happiness and might give you 100th chance if they have to

Answer #7

see im in the same problem, my mom doesnt like my boyfriend only because shes rasest..even though he isnt even half mexican my mom still doesnt like him. He has tried talking to her and I’ve tried talking to her but we cant help that were in love, I took some advice from a friend not to long ago and she said,” if your mom really cares about you and wants you to be happy, then she should respect what ever boyfriend you want to have no matter what color.” she also said that ,” if you love him then it shouldnt matter on what your mom says as long as you guys are together.” besides that your 17 you old enough to make the decsions you want to make,just because you got caught kissing in the halls doesnt mean that you guysthat are having sexual innercourse parents need to realize that they cant run your life forever..just remember that(:

Answer #8

Answer #9
