I feel horrible for your situation- I was just recently in one of them myself.

This guy, a mutual friend of my best friend, has been in and out of jail (& JDC) 11 times. He's a recovering addict and alcoholic. He's completely sober- has not taken one drink since he got clean, same with drugs. He wanted to be with me, as in a relationship. I said to him, "You are doing so so well right now. This isn't a time for either of us to have a relationship, but once I'm 18, you'll have been clean/sober for SO long, think of how ready you will be then."

And you know what? He accepted that as an answer. He's a sweet guy. But I don't want to have the baggage of dealing with someone who is on parole, etc. I don't need that. You don't deserve it either- be there as a friend and NOTHING else.
