My daughter is 15 and there is no way I would allow her to be with a guy that age. Why? Because I love my daughter and want what's best for her. My parents hated my bf when I was 16. I realize now why and that I should have listened to them. They've "been there and done that". We often believe as teens that our parents just don't understand. That's absolutely false. They do understand because they already went through that phase of life and their experiences help to guide their children. If I had listened instead of thinking my parents didn't get it and just wanted to control me, itwould have saved me a lot of heartache and my life would have been how I had planned it instead of being pregnant at 17 and a mother at 18.
I know you're upset, but he's just trying to protect you because the truth is: IT'S OUTRIGHT WEIRD when a guy that old takes an interest in a teenager. I mean that in the most loving way. There is something abnormal about a 21 year old, who is at a totally different phase of life, trying to have a teenager for a girlfriend : / usually, they're just trying to use you for sex. Please just be careful and understand that your dad is having your back, he's looking out for your best interest
It's only because of your age. Think about it if you were 25 and he was 29 would your dad really still look at it that way? Your dad's being protective because your still a child.
I'm pretty sure that as long as your dad feeds you, allows you to bathe and use the restroom, and go to school, he can basically lock you in a room.
I hate to say, but did you ever consider maybe it's for your own good? If I dated a girl that much younger than me it would almost surely just be for sex. There is just such a big disconnect. I always heard girls say they are so mature, but they really weren't. Chances are, your relationship won't end well. I've known a lot of girls who dated older men in high school and they all got their hearts broken.
I'm telling you once you get into college you'll be thankful for your father restricting you. You haven't really seen the world on your own.
If you know your boyfriend well and you are very sure he is for you what your
dad don't know , your mom can give your boyfriend guardianship of you
I know you think this is totally crazy but i know a guy who was age 39
and the girl was age 16 in State of Pennsylvania, age of consent is 16 and the
girls mom gave the guy guardianship of her daughter not a dam thing can be done
it was all done legal but you got make sure the boyfriend you like is safe guy

Go live with your mom, or get your own place. Don't get knocked up/drop out of school, work in retail, an prove your dad right. Boys come and go, focus on your future, it'd be a s it stain on your end if something happened to your mom and you burned your bridge with your dad leaving you with nowhere to go.
Well, legally speaking, he can't do anything. You could always try to be around your mom more, that would reduce his monopoly of control further.
Don't do it. It will cause a lot of problems for you, your family, him, and his family. Listen to your pops. If it was meant to be, then it was meant to be. If not then you'll probably find someone better.
Good for your dad. You could get a job and move out... pay your own bills and file for emancipation
stop fucking complaining. Im 17 and im not even aloud to have a boyfriend.
Why don't you talk to him about why he wants him to stay away. Forget the legal age of consent... you are still a minor. Try to workout a compromise.
Pft. Legality means nothing when old men with shotguns are on the hunt.
I'd honestly do the same thing if I was your dad. Knowing how guys think, such an age difference at an age like that he's after only one thing.
You're under 18. You live under his roof. He has that right
I think you should listen to your dad, he is probably not ready too be a grandfather just yet
So many things wrong with this situation, you wouldn't even believe. However, if you think you want to be with him, stay with him and go behind your "daddy's" back
Which parent has custody/guardianship of you?
