text: my parents are demanding that i break up with my bf cause he is older what should i do? i have been seeing my boy friend for about a month and he is 11 years older then i am. my parents are judgeing him on only that and i want them to see him for who he is as i dont know your age its hard to give advice. if your legally an adult you can do what you want. though i would listen to my parents if they had concerns. they are only thinking of your well being and dont want to see you get hurt.
