Stop and think about it from their point of view. I know it's hard to understand, but they're trying to do what's best for you. I know you want to be on your own and you think their rules are stupid. I'm sure they seem that way to you, but your parents are really just trying to protect you. You realize that most of the people out there think marijuana's a horrible drug, right? You really need to sit down and talk to your parents about all of this. It's gonna be really hard and really painful, but both parties will come out the better for it. Remember to show them love, they love you far more than you can even comprehend. Don't ruin the relationship you have with your parents now, because years from now you'll be regretting it.

Oh, and girlfriend or boyfriend, not life partner. No offense, I'm sure it feels you'll be together forever, but things have a way of coming crashing down around you. But you know who'll always be there for you? Mommy and daddy. Awwwwwww.

Good luck, just remember sometimes you gotta sit back and think about it from their point of view.
he's right; don't burn that parent-child bridge, it's perhaps the most valuable one you get in life
