You could try to speak with your parents about where you’d like to be. I’m sure it’s hard being away from friends and your boyfriend but maybe try explaining things and doing things in the right way first ? I don’t think moving back to a different country secretly is going to help things with your parents. Have you ever thought about maybe having your boy friend come to the states ? Even maybe looking for someone that’s in the states to date ? As well make friends here in the states too. You’ll have to weigh your options and make a decision for yourself.
