Maybe this whole discussion seems rather stupid to you because it doesn't occur to you that everyone has different problems. I have a great deal of respect and love for my parents. If they didn't approve of my relationship (fortunately they do), I would feel badly about that, and would hope that if I explained my problem to other people (including net.people) that they would be sympathetic, and hopefully offer constructive suggestions. Not criticism. Yes, I'm 20. Just turned it and proud of it.(*) I don't think I'm in any way inferior for it. (Maybe a little lacking in experience, but it seems that I make up for that in the openness (innocence??) of my outlook on life and other people.)
