TEEN QUESTION/PROBLEM:
Okay, stuck between a relationship between my parents and boy. I dont live in the same place, and I am nearly 18 so i have booked a flight to go see him. However, ive gone against my parents and i know they do everything for me but there has been no reasoning or compremising in the situation, it was a straight out NO. So basically, Ive booked to go away, and Ive told my parents that ive booked it. BUT.. I know theres going to be consequences when I come back, and I know i sound stupid for going away to a place in england im not sure of, but my family have met him, and know him well. So i dont see the problem if my parents just spoke to his... but they havent, and we've fallen out big time... and so it lead to me wanting to go even more. I sound stupid and pathetic, and I cant believe i have resorted to this, but I need help deideding weather or not it is worth going now its all booked.But its about time my mum let me grow up and let go, as hard as it is.... I need help deciding weather or not to get on the plane and go?

Hey,

Thanks for contacting us at TEEN LINE. It sounds like you have a lot on your mind right now. The process of leaving your parents' "nest" can be hard and exciting. It's great that you realize how great your foundations are, though. I'm wondering if you have talked to friends or siblings about how you're feeling. Sometimes fleshing out options you're considering with someone can make them more clear. Also, perhaps your boyfriend and his parents may be able to help you talk with your parents. Or, what about your boyfriend coming to visit you? Feel free to chat with us at our website if you want to talk more, or you can find all sorts of resources outside of the US at befrienders.org.
