How do I tell my strict parents that I want to be with my crush?

He’s dating a minor, it’s illegal. You might think that you like this guy, but he’s a grown man. You’re still a kid, of course your parents would be worried. He’s probably only a decade, or two, younger then them. I mean what parent wouldn’t worry? He could even be potentially dangerous taking advantage of your feelings. You’ve said it’s only a crush, don’t let it get out of hand. There’s a large age gap, consider the law.

Well, I’m not surprised your parents got really mad. You at age fifteen are still a minor, and this guy/girl is almost old enough to play the lottery and legally drink alcohol. I don’t think you parents are going to let you hang around someone that much older especially if you two have more on your mind than friendship. It’s illegal for you and your crush to do anything sexual together, and you do realize he/she can go to jail if they try anything on you. Sorry for the lecture, but I’m sure your parent’s are just trying to keep you safe. And you may not care about the age difference, but the GOVERNMENT does. Please be careful. If all else fails you can almost technically do anything you want in three years.

that is illegal so that is why your parents are worried
