I agree with Always *. There has to be at least one reason why your mum doesn't approve of him. If you can show her why you like him, perhaps she will change her mind and give him a chance.

If your mum is anything like mine, she will be difficult to persuade, but maybe that's for the best. Maybe he isn't right for you. And maybe you won't see that until you are much older.

I was with a guy who literally couldn't have been any worse for me, yet at 17 I didn't want to listen to my parents when they told me I couldn't see him. But looking back, I realise that they were just trying to protect me. I didn't listen and, sure enough, I got hurt.

Please don't run away. I've done that multiple times (well, it was half running away and half getting kicked out) and it didn't end well. However much your family annoy you, you need them at your age.

Lastly, the grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence. It is one thing spending time with someone, but another thing to live with them 24/7. It would put a strain on your relationship because you would both know deep down that this is it; that you have to be there because you've run away. And that pressure causes problems that you can't foresee.

In summary, it's really not a good idea.
