Our parents don't let us sleep in the same room together

Okay , thanks, yeah a few people have lost their virginity underage after a few months that i know of.

I've been with my boyfriend for about 7 and a bit months, we're both 16, but neither of our parents let us sleep in the same bed together. It's really bugging me, is it wrong for us to sleep in the same bed together? I mean it doesn't seem it, 4 of my best friends all have boyfriends and they've been sleeping in the same bed/room together for agess!!! It's so irritating, so do you think my parents should let me? If you do, how do you think I could convince my parents, lol

And, when my 18 year old brother was my age, he always had his girlfriend stay over, my parents even let her come on holiday with us and stay in the same room as my brother, so why am I treated any differently?

Hey,

Im 16 and my bf is 18, i moved in with him due to an argument. My parents know we sleep in the same bed but we are going on holiday soon just me and him and i asked my cousin if we could stay with her and my mum said we can but my bf has to sleep downstairs on a lilo while i stay in the bed. Its making me really upset because i wouldnt disrespect my cousin by having sex in her house. I need convince my parents to let us stay in the same bed...

your 16........

I stayed in a house with a catholic family and they saw it as taboo for their 21 year old son to share a room with his girlfriend. I can understand your annoyance if he isn't allowed to be in your bedroom with you...but at 16 he really shouldnt be staying over, and if he is he should be in another room

You are only sixteen, I know it feels unfair (and pointless, it's not like you can't have sex elsewhere) but you do live in their house and it's really not that uncommon a rule. I was with my first boyfriend for nearly three years before we were allowed to share a bed at my house, although we regularly shared one at his. Now I'm nearly twenty and although I live at home half the year, my parents don't really care anymore.

This is a super old thread, the girl's probably 19 by now!

Very true! Parents are always alot stricter when it comes to their daughters because of this fact...

I agree its silly though. At that age I was in a similar situation - my parents never let my bf stay over and I always thought it was really unfair and silly. In my opinion, the fact that your parents won't let you share a bed doesn't mean your not going to have sex! If you want to do it your going to do it...!

I think its more of a control thing...if your parents let you stay over eachothers houses then they are basically giving you permission to have sex and saying that they agree to it...but if they stop you then they think they have some control over whether you are having it or not...

Your brother couldn't fall pregnant.

I didn't even notice, I just assumed it was recent because it had been recently posted in.

Correct.

I bet you she is one of them slags who just want any guy in her bed, slapped up make up, been with lots of guys, ugly, fat, reject, or a combination of some of them!

Of course they shouldn't let you sleep in the same room together.

For goodness' sake, have you no respect? It's their house, and you're only 16. You could be 26 and they'd still be perfectly within their rights to forbid you from sleeping in the same room as your boyfriend. Grow up.

What does it mean 'you're only 16',everybody says that to me but i dont get it... what is the problem with me being 16
