Family stoping relationships

[hshs]

Hi All 

I've been looking for any info regarding a specific topic. I a 16-year-old male have recently met a girl of the same age we are both looking to take our friendship further and pursue a romantic relationship. however, I have year 12 coming up and my family have been telling me that i cant get into a relationship over that time. they have also stoped me from meeting up with her. is there any way for me to be able to see her and have a romantic relationship with her. This also affects my friendships as I was recently only allowed to see my friends more often with more independence of where we go and hang out and what times are allowed. 

if anyone can help me feel free to respond to this post.

Thanks

Oh mate… that sounds so tough. I have a boy, about your age, and I know some of his peers have parents who are very worried about Year 12, and want the focus to be on exams and study and doing well.

no doubt they mean well, and want to set you up for success in life, but it does make it hard! 

could you keep in touch with your sweetheart via email and text? Might you both happen to be in the same place at the same time and bump into one another?

perhaps you’re both taking the dog for a walk at 7pm, for example, and your paths cross?

also speak to your year advisor… they might send an email to all parents about the importance of balancing study and the real world- it might help to hear that information from another adult rather than you?
