Parents what do I do? I am in love but my parents won’t approve! Help?!?

Ok I am 17 years old and I have a friend that is 20 years old and well we both are in love with each other. And please do not call it puppy dog love because I know what I am feeling. And well we have started to like explore each other and we have like I guess started to have sex with each other. I want to tell my parents and everything but I do not think they would approve of her in fact I think they would be going mad. And I am not sure what to do advice?

First and foremost use protection if not for her but for you. Be accountable to yourself. And if you are doing something you can't tell your parents about then you are not old enough to be doing it. Do not let your little head think for your big head. Remember they love you unconditionally and will support you if you are honest with them. Take it slow because what you do now will affect you for the rest of your life. Honor them by being honest to yourself. Love comes in many forms from a new love to a tried and true love.

2. by Mother As a mother I would rather you be honest with me. Sit your parents down and give them a chance to understand what is going on. Keep your head up, look them straight in the eyes. I make sure you sound confident in what you are telling them.

3. by Sue I found my first love when I was your age, he was 21. Parents sometimes don't agree, but it's only 3 yrs-not like 10. See if you can have him over for dinner, if your parents get to know him, they might sing a different tune : D Good luck kiddo, love is a beautiful thing.

4. by JOHN You should tell you parents but don't include the sex part. Invite him to dinner so they can meet him. Avoid talking about the sex though. If everything goes well, you guys can date awhile and have all the PROTECTED sex you want. But if you get pregnant it’s all your fault.
