okay, judging by your name you're probably 19.
Sometimes our parents guidance is based on mistakes they may have made in similar circumstances.
Do you live with your parents or at the school?
Mom is right that dating can split your loyalties, but it doesn't always.
One of the biggest tricks in life is to not give up what you want for what you want now.
Since it seems as if you are in a new situation give some thought to your new life and maybe write down your goals,
set some limits for yourself and be sure they are limits you can sand by.
Enjoy life but don't sacrifice your future for today. That could be your mother's fear.
Good luck . . . but if you make good decisions you won't need luck. |

I certainly can understand where your parents are coming from. They want the best for you and they are most likely afraid how a relationship could affect your grades and your ability to stay focus if it were not to work out.
However, you are 19 years old and at college. As you enter adult hood it is time for you to make your own decisions. If you think you are strong enough to date and stay focus on your school work then I would certainly advise you to go ahead and date.
You should maybe make this boy know though that school is your first priority. Maybe after spending time with him and maintaining your grades your parents will have a different outlook.
As April pointed out don't sacrifice everything. In the end this boy may not be there, but you will have your education.
