Why is such a simple high school romance considered unworthy by parents? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

A high school student, who had been dating a boyfriend for half a year, found the relationship to be very good. We treated each other as family. However, my family believed that early dating was bad and forced us not to see each other, even not allowed to chat on QQ. My mother once asked me about the boy's information. He was not in school but working, and my mother thought he was not promising and couldn't give me happiness. I didn't agree with her. I believe that happiness in money is not what I want. Who knows what the future holds? They said if I didn't make a decision, they would not let me go to school. I just want to go to my school, he to his job, and chat when we have time. Why is such a simple love seen as unworthy by my parents? I am feeling very depressed now. I really, really don't want to break up with him. It's really painful in my heart, and I don't know what to do.

Hello, I'm Mu Rong.

You were relying on someone, but your family didn't understand. They even asked you to break up. This pressure makes you angry, right?

How did you and your boyfriend meet? Is there a big age difference?

What made you two fall for each other and decide to be lovers? These questions can also help you understand why you chose him.

Let's talk about your confusion.

Your mother thinks early love is bad and doesn't allow you to talk to each other. She disapproves of your relationship because the boy doesn't go to school. I can feel your longing for care and understanding. It seems wrong to prevent you from seeing each other just because he doesn't go to school.

How did your mother find out about your relationship? How do you usually get along with your mother?

Do you talk to your mother about school or friends?

Secondly, you think happiness doesn't need to be based on money, and you long for pure love. I appreciate your optimism and purity. You're still in high school, the best grade, and having such aspirations shows you're healthy and full of energy.

I used to feel the same way. Love made me happy, and I didn't worry about survival, study, or work. But as I grew older, I had to face practical worries. I had to spend more time studying and working to earn money. I felt awkward going to work chatting and delaying work. Now I am married with children, and happiness comes from more than love. I feel happy when my family eats well, wears warm clothes, and has time to go out and travel together.

Money is not happiness, but it is a key ingredient.

You love each other. It would be a shame to part. You hope you can stay together.

What do you imagine your future to be? You are still in high school, and you may have to go to university in another city. How will you cope with these changes?

How can you achieve your shared goals? Think about how a relationship can become truly happy.

I believe your mother loves you. Does she want to stop you, or does she want you to focus on your studies? You'll meet someone better when you become better. As a mother, I have the same hope for my child.

Talk to your mother about your future plans. You might find that you're both aiming for the same thing.

I hope this helps. Have a happy life!

Let those who want to love love. You are young.

First, you need to feel love. It should be simple and fearless. It's different from what your parents think.

Second, parents think about your future. They want you to get married and have children. If you don't handle it well, you could make innocent love complicated and uncontrollable. This could impact your life and studies.

Third, listen to your parents. Study is important.

It's not too much if you can keep it private. What your parents are afraid of is that you'll get caught up in it and forget about your studies.

You need to learn to balance your freedom, studies, love and family.

I understand how you feel, it's really tough when your family doesn't support something so important to you. I think communication is key here. Maybe you could try talking to your parents again, calmly explaining that you value your education as much as this relationship and assure them that dating isn't interfering with your studies. Also, suggest setting up a meeting with him and your parents, where he can show them his goals and plans for the future. Sometimes, understanding each other's perspectives can help bridge the gap.

It sounds like you're going through an incredibly hard time right now. Your feelings for him are genuine, and it's not easy when your parents don't see it the same way. Have you considered writing a letter to your parents? Sometimes people open up more to written words than spoken ones. In the letter, you could express all your thoughts and feelings, and explain why this relationship means so much to you. You might also want to include how you plan to balance school and this relationship, showing them that you have thought about your future.

This must be so heartbreaking for you. It's important to remember that your education is also a significant part of your life. Perhaps you could find a compromise by agreeing to focus on your studies for a while, assuring your parents that this doesn't mean the end of your relationship but rather a period of growth for both of you. During this time, you can work on personal development and maybe even discuss with your boyfriend ways to improve and prepare for a more solid future together.

June Anderson The beauty of honesty lies in its simplicity.

Your parents love you and want what they believe is best for you, but it's clear that you and your boyfriend care deeply about each other. It might be helpful to involve a trusted adult or counselor who can mediate between you and your parents. They can offer an unbiased perspective and possibly help your parents see that relationships at this age can teach valuable lessons about responsibility and commitment. This third party could also provide advice on how to maintain a healthy balance between your studies and your relationship.

Malcolm Anderson To be honest is to give the gift of trust to others.

Feeling this way must be really challenging. It seems like your parents are worried about your future and may not fully understand the depth of your feelings. If possible, you might want to talk to another family member or a close friend's parents who can speak to your parents on your behalf. Sometimes hearing from someone else can make a difference. Also, consider expressing your thoughts through art, music, or poetry; sometimes creative outlets can convey emotions in a way that words alone cannot. This could be a way to show your parents how much this person means to you without directly confronting them.
