You should tell your parents calmly and maturely that you're going to see people if you want to, because you're responsible and you're not going to do anything that they wouldn't want you to. You have more sense and self control than that.After you've fed them that bullshit . . .The fact is, you're going to be dating either way, so they might as well give you the consent and set down some guidelines or something. Yet while they may be wrong on that point, getting married at 21 (or, at least PLANNING at your age to get married at 21) is a really BAD idea. This is coming from a guy who got married to a 24 year-old when I was 18. I figured surely SHE has to be mature enough, she's six years older than me! Still, though I was ready and did everything I could right, she cheated on me-- THREE times. Getting married that young isn't necessarily wrong because YOU'RE not ready, but because you haven't really had enough time to meet enough people to make a decision about who is best for you.In other words, wait until you've had a chance to date several people before you even consider getting married.
