Hi I was just wondering basically I'm 16 and my boyfriend of 2 years has just moved to Jamaica, I would like to visit him soon and legally I'm allowed to stay in the country as long as I have a return flight, however my dad doesn't want me to go and is saying that if I do he will ring the Jamaican airport and claim that I have no intention of leaving( meaning that I could get deported as if I wasn't to leave I would become an illegal immigrant). Does anyone know if I would get turned away just because of my dads allegation or is there any other ways my dad would be able to stop me?

Completely putting aside the fact that your Dad may have a very good reason for not wanting you to go AND the fact that you recently posted this and got good advice
Why would the Jamaican authorities believe your Dad? They don't know he is who he says he is and and how would he even know who to call?
Still don't think you should go though

You're 16 - I would listen to your dad. Parents are a drag when you're 16, but generally speaking they have your best interests at heart and they have a lot more life experience and better judgement than you. Jamaica is also a very dangerous country. I would think twice about going there as an adult, let alone as a 16-year-old.
