Hi everyone, I'm currently living in California and I'm 17 years old. My boyfriend and I dated for 7 months and had a great relationship. After six months we broke up because he cheated on me and began to date the girl after we broke up. I was absolutely devastated because I had never felt like this about someone before and it seemed like we were perfect together. After three months of being apart his girlfriend that he cheated on me with role up with him. Now, three months after we had broken up he is telling me that he wants me back in his life. He says it was never the same with another girl and he knows that he made a huge mistake and doesn't expect me to ever consider talking to him again. But my feelings for him havn't changed I love him more than anything and I know that he knows he messed up and wants me back. So now that were talking again my parents let me know that they don't want us together and they don't want him around me. I tried to let them know how we felt about each other but they think I'm a dumb 17 year old that is confused. I know in my heart that ill never be happy unless he's in my life and I'm pretty lost right now. How can I make my parents see that we're 17 and going to make mistakes?
