i am a 17 girl.i have lived with my boyfriend for 6 monthes.

Dear Concise; Rather bold to just say that you are residing with a girlfriend when in fact it is a boyfriend. Sometimes we have to do what we have to do. Personally, I would just say it as it is. I lived with my boyfriend when I was your age and for the year prior as well. It was the thing to do. Worked out okay. I finished school during that time, no problem. I was always independent, even as a kid. I lived with my boyfriend out of necessity. My home life at the time was not good. I don't regret it and my parents knew where I was. I would want to be honest. I believe honesty is the best policy but also just in case something happened. Only we know what is best for us. I wish you the best and that you both may enjoy a warm, happy and safe Christmas. Enjoy!

Hi, I think you are really keep up with the time. I hope you can get agreement from parents. I am already 27, and when I told my parents I would live with my GF, they just became mad to me. I think we just need to do what we believe right and if we think that will guide us to happy life, we should just do it without hesitant. I hope you can be happy with your BF, and I hope we can add each other as friends here :)

This type of living together has become a fashion.At your age,even deciding to love comes out of infatuation more than pure understanding.In this stage how can you justify your living with a boy friend?Are you economically comfortable at the least to take care of yourself?Is your boyfriend earning something or he too is a student?Anyhow,I think you have taken an advanced decision and let us hope things will go fine.

Concise,I am respect to you -- wanting a independend,mature life,most of younths in China are like to do this.But I guess your parents must recognize you are a little young,As you know,Chinese kids are not as early as Americians' kids,too much attention and carefulness around us while growning process.Can you live by yourself now?Can you pay tuition fee own? Love is amazing but live is basic.

I am also a chinese boy,19.Almost all of our pearents care us too much,which sometimes makes me sick.But I agree with you,we are new generation,and new way of life is necessary for us.

from personal experience, i would say no. Living with a partner at such a young age is not healthy. You have your whole life in front of you. I do not say not to love our boyfriend, but you are too young for such a relationship. Do you work, Are you really that mature and independant? Live with your parents as long as possible. It is cheaper, safer and you know there is always someone who has your best interests at heart. We were young as well and believe me we had our moments as well. But you will have to face the facts. If you cannot look after yourself and the relationship ends, for whatever reason, where will you go then.

I am 32 and live in us 17 is too young to b in an relationship where u live with your boyfriend, well in america anyway, unless u r from a family background that believes in marriage and the fairytale marriage with the picket fence and the white house. U should both be out sowing ur oats.
