I’m suggesting: Don’t care what your parents think, at this point. You’re not 15 and on your own.
They have given their opinion, and ultimately it’s up to you and they SHOULD respect that.
You can tell them I said so. 😀
Losing you over who you decide to be with, is pretty pathetic, you can also tell them I said so. 😀
You seem to fear your parents, don’t, they should love you unconditionally, and that’s that.
It’s really their problem, don’t let it be yours, too.
Good luck!
