MY parents are FCKED UP!

For starters, until things improve, if there's a guy you like, see if he'll meet you places where there will be crowds, like school sporting events, dances, join the same school clubs, places where you can be together sort of like on a date, but with other people present. That may calm some of your parents fears. They may have to give you a ride there, but at least they aren't around when you're with the guy. 2nd, thanks to the Internet nowadays, tons of people are using it to talk and send messages, or you can just talk on the phone. When I go to the public library, most of the people there under 20 are on myspace. I know this advice may not help you much, but it's just to get the ideas flowing if you can't get exactly what you want. You'll have to settle for something less until you're 18 it sounds like. Maybe they don't trust you, or think you'll get pregnant. If you care about a guy, there are ways to spend time with him without even being in a place where you might get pregnant. That's all I'm saying. If I'm not telling you anything you don't already know, then disregard. Just trying to help. You can't change your rents, you have to go with what you were dealt. You aren't the first to have this problem. They may change their minds in a year or two also. Work on the meeting up at school events part. It might even help to communicate afterwards about how great the guy is, how he makes good grades in school and has plans for a future, how much fun you had, and how all you do is talk. If they know and trust the guy you're going to be alone with, that's a major part of the battle.
