Boyfriend help!

I just want to hear advice or opinions on this.
I've been with my boyfriend 9 months and we love eachother and everything. But there's one problem, My parents don't approve, we can't go to each others houses and neither of us drive so it's annoying. We have to almost sneak around to see eachother, my parents never really gave him a chance they just don't want me being with him, as the months go on it gets harder and it almost feels like a long distance relationship even though he lives 5 minutes away, it's shit😪 I'm only 17 but I really do care about him more than anything and just want a happy relationship. Any opinions are appreciated
