Maybe you could talk to them, open up to them and tell them that you are aware of all of the complications that can occur with dating. By showing them your maturity they may see your point of view.
I assume that they are mostly concerned about whether or not you are wanting to have sex and most parents will naturally be protective of their daughters about this issue as sex can have so many consequences. If you discuss with them what your intentions are about dating, then maybe they will understand.

 Well, you don't "love" them yet... please don't rush things too fast. You are young, but definitely old enough to start having a boyfriend if you want to. However, your parents have the right mindset in this. Many high school relationships are filled with drama, and aren't very productive in the end. If you really feel like you want to try it out, sit down with your parents, tell them that you are interested in dating and you want them to really consider it. Be respectful, this is the best way to show you are mature enough to handle a boyfriend. If you blow up at them and complain they will not sway in their rules... hope that helps.
