"No living with Boyriend"

'I'm 18 and I've been with my boyfriend for

about 3 years. We both have been thinking of

moving in together but my parents don’t want

me to, because I'm still young. " - Lisa.

It sounds like fun, right? I think the best decision is to lay out the pros and cons of both sides of the situation. But I think you should take your parents advice into consideration. Sometimes your instincts aren’t always right. You are beginning to become a young adult, and are likely to still dependent upon your parents while living with your boyfriend. Your parents only want what is best for you. Living with a boyfriend or girlfriend at such a young age may cause difficulty in the relationship.

Am I ready?

"I got accepted to university. But I’m worried about my boyfriend and mine relationship." -Dana

Do you have anyone close to you that has gone through the same thing? You’ll be mainly focusing on your studies, and may not want extra problems along the way. Think about it, you don’t even know if you two will last forever? With the rate relationships are at nowadays it’ll be a miracle if you guys actually end up starting a life together. Sorry to sound brutal hun, but you need to look at what you’re parents are worrying about too. They’re scared to let you go at such a young age because you think most definitely will regret it. This goes out to the boyfriend or any other young women and men planning on moving out.
