My parents have talked a lot about moving lately, and to a place I've always loved. I would love to live there, but it's across the country. I finally have a BF I’m really comfortable around and everything's going great! But, moving would also be a great opportunity for my dad. What should I do???

What a tough thing to go through, babe. I recently had a similar situation -- my parents were considering moving to Florida and wanted me to go with them. I love Florida, but I have an entire life here in Maryland that I didn't want to leave. Luckily my parents decided against it so I didn't have to really make a final decision; but I definitely understand how you're feeling.
Unfortunately, since you're not an adult yet, you'll have to go wherever they go. In a way, it's a good thing -- you don't have to worry about making such a huge decision because you really have no choice. But of course it definitely stinks... because you have no choice!
I know it's tough because you have a boyfriend and all, but honestly, boys come and go. Sometimes these types of opportunities are rare. So try to think less of what you'd be leaving and more of what you'd be gaining. A chance for some change and excitement in your life. An opportunity to live somewhere you love. And if it's a great opportunity for your dad, who knows what other great things it could bring for the rest of your family. Try to look at the positive side as much as possible -- there's no use in worrying yourself over things you have no control over.
