parents or lover

Despite the modern time, it sometimes happens that parents forbid their daughter to date somebody. The reasons may be different. For example, father is just jelalous her daughter or the boyfriend badly influence on daughter etc. So the girl has to choice to listen parents or follow the dictates if her heart.  And what do you think about it? Should she listen her parents or be with her lover, because may be she will never find such love.

I believe that, if the consequences aren't too large or harsh, you can choose lover over parents. In all honesty, relationships allow you to narrow down future possibilities, and you can see what kinds of people have great chemistry with you.

If your parents really love you, they'll let you follow your heart. If they don't love you enough to let you follow your heart, why shouldn't you treat them the same and go against their wishes?

Just don't fool yourself over who your lover is.

Only do something like go after them once you can be sure that they would do the same for you given this issue.

Thank you! Parents should realize that were not their little boys and girls anymore. That were developing adults and if they cant understand that love is a very important part of our lives, and they take it away than is life really worth living?

I'm endlessly fascinated by the precise wording of [edit] these debates that seem to have the same sort of weird syntax. Is it simple syntax error? Or is emphasis in particular places reflecting some social order?

Either way, individualism should be paramount in issues effecting only the individual making the decision. Anyone over the age of consent is the final say so in whom they choose to love.

Honestly though as with all of these debates, I'm really more interested in the wording.

If there are severe punishments for dating, such as getting kicked out or physical abuse, I believe obeying is the best option, if there was the possibility of them finding out. In all honesty, most teenagers believe they are in love because of their hormones; if you are able to get physical affection or simply a feeling of exotic appreciation from another person, then the mind usually tricks someone that they are in love. Wanting to be with someone is a universal want/need. Nearly everyone wants to be with someone.

I decided to create such debates because i wanted to know people opinion. Such situation was with me when i was at school. My father prohibited me to date with my boyfriend whom i loved him within 4 years. I decided to listen to ,y father because i thought that he wouldn't wish me something bad. But, the reason why he prohibited i still don't know.

What would you do if you were in my place?

mmm well u c..parents look at ur beloved one in a different view than u do..u see ur beloved one flawless but ur parents c him as an individual...now sometimes parents can be too harsh and not give the beloved one a chance that is true..but when it comes to whom u choose i personally would choose my parents..cz they will not gain anything from hurting me. also sometimes parents might say no to ur beloved one for no reason i agree that that is not okay all the time i mean they did not see who that person really is! but then again what if ur too fond of that person that u do not see the truth behind his face? what if he is decieving u? i am not saying that this happens all the time..if u are sure of ur love to him and sure that he loves u purely but ur parents do not see that then i say listen to ur heart..but if ur parents gave him a chance to see what is inside him then they refuse then u should listen to ur parents...there is allot of contradiction in my argument but it depends on the case, sometimes u know him more than ur parents and this is when u should follow ur heart...if ur dad does not agree on u dating ur bf for no reason then dnt listen to him..but if ur dad did meet him and got to know him yet still refused then u should know tht ur father has a reason for the choice he made..after all u are his beloved, sacred daughter :) think about it..im sure ur heart will not fail u...in case it does..then u added an experience to learn from..;)

If the love is meant to be it will happen. The only thing you can guarantee yourself is that your parents are family and that is not something you want to lose for any reason, especially an impulse decision that might turn out to mean as much as a little "fling", so to speak. You're best bet is to convince your parents that he/she is good for you and the good outweighs the bad. If you love so much then you wouldn't give up on trying to convince them.

If your parents cannot respect your veiws and opinions as a person and respect that you love somebody then are they really family? Or are they somebody that does not know detail by detail who the person is, what kind of person they are, and is willing to break their childs heart because they do not understand the situation.
