ive been with my boyfriend for over a year now, we are both 16, we love each other and seem to have a healthy relationship. he has always said about his parents being strict and overly protective of him because they dont trust him. because of this and the fact that his family dont seem to communicate much he has found it too hard to tell his parents about our relationship.

i asked him for the first time last week if he could try and tell his parents about us because ive been getting anxious about it. he said he would try and sort it out but i dont know how long thats going to take! im worried if i push him ill make him feel pressured and upset into doing something he finds almost impossible to do. i dont know what its like to be in his situation so can anyone advise me on how to help him??
