| I have a problem and I don't know what to do!
So there's this guy. I like him and he likes me. I asked my parents if I could date him , but they said no. They don't want me to date until I'm 18. So I told him that we would have to be just friends, but do you know how impossibly difficult that is?!?!?!?!?! Whenever we're together, even though there are "witnesses" around, we always end up holding hands, which is illegal according to my mom and dad. Should I talk to them about it again? Maybe try to work out some kind of compromise? If they would just let me date him, it would make everything so much less complicated! They know that I have a good head on my shoulders and I know not to be alone with him, and they trust me, so why can't they just let me date? Btw, I'm 17.5 I'll be 18 in June |

If your parents said no, then as God's representatives to you, God is also saying no. If you're under their roof, what they say goes.
Wait the 6 months until you can date, if the guy is still interested then, go ahead. If he's not, then he wasn't the one for you, or the timing isn't right.
I would encourage you to respect your parents' wishes - not argue with them, or try to compromise. It will be hard, but worth it! |

I agree with the above... it's 6 months, wait it out, and no, dating won't make it easier. That's like getting bigger pants because you've been gaining weight... and your parents won't let you get a new pair.
And yes, I know how difficult it can be, and you're almost right... it is next to impossible. It can be done, though... you have to decide to accept your parents' boundaries, and I'd say you should draw your own with him that are just outside theirs, so you don't bump theirs. (Say, that you agree to not date for... a week after your 18th birthday, or something like that.)
I don't know your parents reasons, but I do know that usually parents have reasons for making those rules. |

Most of the nearly two billion children in the developing world have inadequate access to dinosaurs. Some receive no paleontology training at all. One in three has never even seen a dinosaur in person.
OVPC is an organization providing a means to an end - an end that sees children in even the most remote regions of the globe being given the motivation and adrenaline to tap into their own potential, identify with the survival needs of a global dinosaur-driven culture, and to contribute to a paleontological world community.
