  • Of course, it's your parents' decision. But, if you're staying with his Mom, then it appears she is OK with it. Maybe she could speak with your parents and reassure them that you two will be chaperoned properly. Since you're only 16, your parents are right in being hesitant to allow you to do this. They're just trying to do what's best for you.
  • I don't think I'd let my daughter do that...if I had one.Lol!Her only hope would be to cast a magic spell over me.
  • There is NO way on God's green earth that I'd let a 16 year old girl take off with her teen boyfriend ..... Chances are she'd come back pregnant and he'd take of for good on his own or with another girl ... Just wait until YOU are a parent ;Your whole perception and belief system will change ...
  • I know this is hard to believe, but your parents are doing what is best for you! Someday you will understand. There would be no way in the world that one of my kids could convince me to let them go at 17!
  • Oh, hell, I don't think there is anything that would have persuaded me to let you do that if I were in your parent's shoes. Teens don't understand yet what they are doing even though they think they do. I don't think your boyfriend's parents would have much respect for you or your parents if you did that. You should hold off for another 2 or 3 years before you do something like that. Downgrade me all you want, but in 10 years you will be more mature and look back at yourself from a different angle. You will understand that it is better to stay home at this point.
  • I think you need to pause and realize you won't get everything you want when you want it, and often that is for the better. Relax, and realize that a better time for that kind of trip will come along sometime in the future. Immediate gratification isn't everything.
  • You're too young alone
  • There is absolutely nothing one of my kids could have said at 17 that would have convinced me to let them do this...and I'm fairly trusting of them. I even let my 17 year old daughter spend a month in Europe this summer. I would NEVER have let her go off for a vacation with a boyfriend and his mom. Never. That's just not acceptable.
  • Just tell your mom that there isn't much yall haven't done already and all she is doing is cock blocking you.
