A female United States age 26-29, *olleyball6 writes:

Okay I'm about 15 and if there's any adults out there that can help me out that'd be great. Me and my boyfriend had a really rough start because my parents didn't let me see him cause hey didn't like him nd it was really hard seeing eachother cause he lives like 45 minutes away but his brother thankfully lives by me so my bf comes here on the weekends to see me. Well he stuck with me through all that without seeing me most boys wouldn't. And I find it like fate that his brother lives by me so it makes it possible to see my bf. And everything has been working out fine and my bf cares so much about me and is very respectful and very careful with everything sexual we do he's responsible and is good kid. I love him. And my mom says boys say they love you all the time like she thinks it's like kid stufff. I understand her opinion cause most boys and girls are fags and say I love you and blah blah but me and my bf really lovey love eachother. I'd love to be treated more like n adult by my parents...

Tisha-1 agony auntI'm still waiting to see if you can manage to write a question in your mother's voice; can you imagine her side of your relationship? THAT'S the day you will be an adult. When you can see things from that other side. Until then, you'll be a teenager, nothing wrong with that, you're still growing up.

Just don't rush things, you have the whole rest of your life to be an adult. Trust me, you will look back on these teen years and wish you knew now what you'll learn as you get more mature.

If you're 15 with a freak side, you're going to be used up by the time you're 20.

BunnyTee agony auntYou've heard of a Catch-22, right? This is a Catch-22. Like credit, you need credit to get credit. But if you have no credit, then how do you go about getting some to enable you to get more? It's the same with being treated like an adult. If you want to be treated like an adult, you have to conduct yourself as an adult, which you are not.

Are you prepared to pay the mortgage, all the insurance premiums, the maintenance and utilities, each month, every month? Pay the car payment, it's insurance, fuel and upkeep? Buy the washer and dryer and their supplies AND do the laundry, too? Not to mention taxes, and holding down a full-time job and running a household. All these things depend upon being a capable adult. These are just a few of the things that come with that elusive golden ring of adulthood, sweetie. Do you think you're ready, willing and able to step up to the plate and do it all, and do it right, at your age? It'll show up on your doorstep soon enough. Honestly, you don't want to rush it. It's not all the freedom and playtime you can possible have. With that freedom comes very heavy responsibilities you must live up to or otherwise, you're a total failure. Relax, your parents aren't doing you a disservice in treating you like a 15 yro.

Tisha-1 agony auntIs this the boyfriend who gets jealous and angry if you hang out with you friends? And the same boyfriend who has told you that your breasts will grow if your nipples are sucked?

Maybe when your boyfriend isn't acting so immature, you'll look more mature to your family? It may be a case of being judged by the company you keep. They assume you're at the same level as your boyfriend?
