Well just tell them you won't go out. You'll just be friends. Even if they only let you hang out together at his house and supervised, then you'll still get to see him.

I's not like you are going to do anything more than kissing anyway at your age.

They are just protecting their little boy as he is just a child. They don't want him to go off and make mistakes and be a dad at 14 so they are stopping him from having girlfriends. Get him to tell them that you will just be friends and then you can be together and go round to his house and they can get to know and trust you.

Good Luck!! xx

Peterk5699 agony auntI'm guessing your boyfriend is the same age as you?

If so then his parents will be like that as he isn't even past school yet and is technically a child. They're only pretecting him like they should.

When you're both 16 it'll be better because you'll be adults in a way.

Good luck

Phsyciatrist-to-be agony auntIt is a good idea: you must know the reason as to why they wont let you go out. I think it would be much easier if you asked your boyfriend to do this.

It's more than likely that they dont approve of you as a person (no offence). If this is the case, you should ask him to find out what they dont like about you, and then try and improve on it.

If it turns out that they just plain dont like you, then maybe you should consider talking to your own parents about it.

What you absolutely must remeber is, however, it's almost certain that they're only trying to protect their son, not just get in the way and control his life.
