I've had a rough childhood growing up and so has he. we've only seen eachother 2 times because my mom keeps me on lockdown !!! so now im about to be 17 and he wants to see me more he feels that now im old enough to come see him on my own and i am responsible but i dont know what to say to my mom . . . .

I understand how you feel. Here's the thing though. Perhaps things are different for the two of you, there are always exceptions to the rule, but when young people get together when one or both is in a bad situation, it usually doesn't work. They mistake feelings of escape and being "rescued" for love. Sometimes one views himself or herself as the rescuer. As they grow older, they grow to resent each other, and that frequently turns to hate. Frequently as they get older, one or both realize they missed out on things when they were younger and want to make up for it. By that time, there are usually children involved. They end up going from one bad situation to the next.
Since you are only 17, you don't have much choice but to listen to your mom. One year isn't that long, then you can decide for yourself. I know it's hard, but it will be best in the long run. Where would you go and what would you do if you were not with her? Would you be able to take care of yourself? Probably not. If he truly loves you, he will respect that, want what's best for you and wait. And if he does not, it's best to find out now.
I've seen situations similar to this many times. Most ended in painful divorces. At best it was an unfulfilling marriage. There is nothing lonelier than being trapped in a relationship with the wrong person.
do you think its ok for a freshman(boy) to date a junior(girl)
