-You are in love with someone and ‘YOU THINK’ your parents will never accept this relationship.
-You want to be with some ’stranger’ who promised you the moon, sometimes in the future, rather than standing up to your parents and show them that you are mature enough to make your own decision in life.

–Consider the bond with your parents,WHO ALWAYS WILL BE THERE FOR YOU. They’ve cared for you and will always loves you no matter what,where and how you are. They’ve provide you with all the good things that perhaps they think are important for your wellbeing.

–Consider the love you have for that person you’ve just met(I’m not saying it’s not genuine- we all know that love is just LOVE)
Is it that strong and powerfull, that you are ready to break the rules,principles and cultures you’ve aquired through your parents ?

–Consider the life you have and the life you will have with that person,will you be able to ajust and make living with what both of you can manage to earn ?

–One thing, I am glad that you still care enough for you parents to ask for advice from us before doing anything to hurt them and yourself

What some of my friends who were in similar situations did :
-Run away with the guy…life is not easy though !
-Try to convince parent.(They might surprise you)
-Wait for completion of education, be financially independent, then just proclaim your love, and if it was meant to happen, time will tell after all that waiting…(It really makes you feel proud in that way)

THINK girl !

-Is He worth all that turmoil in your life ?
-Are you not just having issues about your personal freedom and choices from your parents ? Due to the respect that you have towards them, it makes it difficult for you to talk about your life’s decisions and the only way to fight back, is to blame it on LOVE !(then be carefull; we never play with love)
-What if your parents say -ok get married and move with your hubby, Will you be able to manage a ‘home’ not a house ? What about your career ?

-YOU, WHO ARE NOT ALLOWED OUTSIDE WITHOUT A CHAPERON, WHO HAVEN’T SEEN AND KNOWN THE WORLD, ARE YOU READY TO HAVE YOUR FIRST BORN A YEAR AFTER YOU’VE LEFT HOME(which is an eventuality)?

-What about his parents ? What do they think about it ?

To conclude : You are young.You have your whole life ahead of you.The choice is yours.Once you’re an adult of 18, you can do whatever you want…

Life experiences…
History…
Time…
Have always shown that parents just want your wellbeing and are ALWAYS right(in most cases)

May the light of wisdom, the patience of time and the power of love guide you towards the real aim of your life and may you choose right over wrong, following your heart, standing up with your mind !

Sorry for the long text.

Wait for the time when you are ready to face the world of adulthood when you can weigh things better than the age you are now.

Young people call it dictating. But parents would think that it is their job to do. To protect their children. Most young ones do not understand that especially when they find someone to love.

Hang in there, it would not take too much time until you are done with school. Show your parents that you are mature in handling this. Actually getting back to them would only harden them some more. They would think it is a sign of disrespect.

Love will remain. If it is true. After many years.

:)

just an advice though, you still have your own wits, and decisions to make :p
