i just need somethign and someway to tell my parents i am moving to bc. i cant tell them that i moving with my bf because they will trip on me for that sayin its a stupid decision, like every parent does

Answer #1

Get everything arranged and then tell them and tell them where and all of the information like how you are going to pay for it etc.

Answer #2

If you feel you are old enough/independent enough/mature enough to move then you should be old enough/independent enough/mature enough to tell them you are moving with your boyfriend. Gets things lined up and then tell them…but tell them the ENTIRE truth. If you manage to hide it from them now when they find out they will be hurt and you will have broken their trust. An immature person would hide this. A mature person able to take care of herself in a new city would not be afraid to tell them the truth.

Hiding it seems as if you also think there is something wrong with going to live with your boyfriend.

If it is the right decision for you…tell them that.
