My parents keep saying My age is too young to date.?
i understand that is not straight forward to think of, yet as quickly as upon a time your mom and dad have been additionally young infants, and believe it or no longer, they DO understand - it extremely is why they positioned the policies in place in the 1st place. What i could do is sit down with the two one in each and every of your mom and dad and talk your issues of their policies. that is significant that your father communicate too, even if if it makes him slightly uncomfortable. he's your father, even with each and every thing... no count what occurs, do no longer lose your temper. stay calm, and attempt to undergo in innovations that they are extremely attempting to do what they think of is nice for you. even if in the event that they do no longer exchange their minds, the reality which you have been attempting to be mature approximately it, will count type on your desire in destiny discussions. additionally, be keen to compromise. perhaps you will desire to pass on a team date, with 2 or 3 different couples, or, have one in each and every of your mom and dad pass alongside as a chaperone. then you certainly can slowly circulate in direction of occurring a date on my own. in the event that they stay enterprise on the sixteen or 17 age, all isn't lost. See if that they had comply with revisit the subject count in some months. meanwhile, determine which you do do each and every thing a threat to show your mom and dad which you're able to be in charge and be relied on - that's particularly significant. that's sometimes issues like doing all your chores with no need to be reminded, doing all your homework and conserving your grades up. understand is a 2 way highway. in case you assume them to handle you extra like an person, you will desire to teach which you're able to appearing like one in the 1st place.
My girlfriend keeps saying the same thing over and over again...is it normal?
Ummm...well, it MIGHT indicate that she misses you, and if she's using it as her "closing" (end of letter, before sig., like "Sincerely", "Cordially", etc.) then she's probably just gotten into the habit of expressing her missing you there. The fact that she continues to do it shows that...well...she continues to miss you. Don't turn into a woman and read all kinds of "messages" or "hints" into it--look, you are online asking a bunch of strangers a question which you _could_ just simply put to HER, which would actually give you the REAL answer, rather than the opinion of a group of (us). If you DO ask her, please don't sound like you are accusing her of anything or go crazy; just write something like, "Wow, you must really miss me if you always mention it in your emails, huh?" Don't assume words mean something other than what they actually DO mean (don't add connotations where the denotation is clear). Best of luck!
I want to see Jonas Brothers but my mom keeps saying no! (Help PLEASE!!!)?
I had this problem too!! My parents wouldn't let me go because the concert was 3 hours away and tickets were pretty expensive. I begged for 2 months!! My mom didn't have a problem with it, but my dad did. So after I cried for 2 days straight, I decided to check on ebay for tickets. This was for the LMITE tour, btw. And I found 2 tickets for $60. The ticketmaster price was $100...so I could get them way cheaper!! I asked my mom and she bought them. Of course my dad was very angry, but he got over it. You just need to find a cheap ticket. One of their problems was gas prices...but if your friends are going, try to ride with one of them and chip in $10 for gas!! Good luck.

Is the band Black Sabbath satanic, cause my parents keep saying they are?
Black Sabbath invented heavy metal. Without them, there'd be no Metallica, no Soundgarden, no Pantera...etc. No...I don't think they're satanic. Look at photos of them...they're all wearing necklaces with crosses on them, and they're not upside down. Guitarist Tony Iommi has signature series Gibson guitar with "right-side up" crosses on the fretboard. I had an aunt who forbid me to buy a Black Sabbath album when I was a kid because she said I'd 'go to hell in a hand basket" (Even tho I knew I'd never fit into a hand basket). I bought them anyway and what I learned was that Black Sabbath have songs about the darker side of life... stuff that we're not aware of because people like to sugar-coat things. They talk about the evil in OTHER people (not themselves), and point fingers at those who want to destroy the world or destroy themselves. Sure, they also talk about drugs and that... but not in a positive light. Anyone knows that doing drugs is destructive... but some people have an addiction that they have trouble shaking. (I have friends in that save position.) Anytime someone wants to say that Sabbath is satanic, I show them they lyrics to the last verse of 'Children of the Grave" (from 1971's "Master of Reality") "So you children of the world, listen to what I say... If you want a better place to live in, spread the word today... Show the world that love is still alive, you must be brave... Or you children of today are children of the grave" I'd been buying Sabbath albums since the 70's and I'm 42 now. I just like music... and I don't drink, do drugs, have any tattoos or piercings. It's all about the music for me... (always has been) and nothing else. Oh...and I didn't turn into a satan worshipper, either.
Do parents still have control over you when you turn 18 if you live with them?
No. Depending on where you live, once you pass a certain age, you are technically an adult. It’s 18 in most places.That having been said. If you’re still living in a house owned by another person, they can have a say over certain things. You can’t tear out the lawn, for example, and replace it with a rock garden without the owner’s permission.But that’s not what you mean by your parents having control. If you are living rent free, it’s kind of hard for you to argue against their continued interference in your life (who you should speak to, what you should do with your free time, etc). After all, it is their house, you’re their child, and they’re still paying for the roof over your head.Legally, certainly, you might have a case. My suggestion, if you can’t afford a place of your own, then offer to pay them rent, and demand an actual lease agreement. You will pay “x” per month, and they will act as landlords. Since, in all likelihood you will have to use the same kitchen and laundry facilities, include usage of these facilities as well. Basically, what you want to show your parents is that the only reason you’re still living with them is that you can’t afford your own place (incidentally, in today’s economy, that’s not a bad thing). Show them that you are willing to take an adult role in the household (dishes, laundry, maintenance, etc), and in exchange, you want them to treat you as an adult.All of that having been said - there’s nothing wrong with listening to what your parents have to say, and regardless of a lease, if you’re in the same room with them (or if they have your phone number), they’re going to tell you what they think (trust me, I’m 43, live a continent away and my mom still tells me what she thinks). And that’s fine. After all, your parents have been your age before, and they are likely to have decent advice for problems you might be facing. Just remember, you are and adult now, and you don’t have to listen to them if you don’t want to.As an addendum, my mom is still right, most of the time, even now.
I've always wanted to go skydiving but wanted to share the experience with someone special. I'm turning 33 and have no one to go with me. Should I go anyways or wait?
You should try going on your own to see if you actually even enjoy it. What if you wait for someone--say for a few years, all the while, building up expectations--and then it turns out you're scared out of your mind and you default on the jump? Or maybe you do it and when you get to the ground, you think, "That's it?" What if it's like sex? I usually tell a girl I've started dating that the first time's gonna be the worst cause it's gonna get better and better as we get to know each other (because it always does). So maybe there's some value in getting the first one out of the way? (Ever see "Annie Hall?") But seriously, most of the time when I'm waiting for someone else to show up for me to do something, it means that I don't really want to do it. It's more a fantasy. Or, I don't have the gumption or perseverance or the balls to really do it. I'm wanting someone else's presence, energy, enthusiasm, protection, moral support to getting me out of my inertia, an inertia that I'm unable to break on my own cause I'd rather hold onto my fantasy, which is safe. It's like people saying, "I want to write a book/start a band/start a business/travel to other countries/and so on, but I can't do it on my own." It's usually an excuse. You don't need another person to start any of those things. And as others have pointed out, once you start, you meet others along the way. Hope you do it even if it's a complete let down. At least, you won't be living in a fantasy. You'll have seen for yourself what it's like. And you'll have many more opportunities in the future to share the experience with someone special.
Why do I worry about my parents dying when they are alive?
I actually kind of do this too.I’m assuming you don’t have any known anxiety disorders, or else you would have mentioned it. But based on this question, you’re probably on the anxiety spectrum.If your worries are impeding on your day to day life (i.e. you can’t focus, you can’t concentrate, you find yourself feeling ‘depressed’ because of your thoughts, etc) or if you think it would be helpful to talk these worries out, then you should definitely talk to a trusted adult (this may be a teacher, school counselor, friend’s parent, whatever) or ask your parents to find you a therapist if you’re in a financial situation where you can do so.Therapists are really helpful in general; you don’t have to have a ‘disorder’ or anything to talk to one. I believe all human beings would benefit from having a therapist.But I think being afraid of your parents dying isn’t a sign of some deep-seated psychological issue. You’re probably more introspective and insightful than some people, causing you to think more about the things that could potentially happen. That’s okay. It’s a normal fear.In my opinion, there’s no way to really ‘overcome’ this fear. Your parents will die someday, but that’s okay. Death is normal. Your parents have lived long, full lives. You’ll grieve because you love them, but it will be okay. Everyone experiences loss. It’s a fundamentally human feeling. When the time comes, you will be able to get through it. Even if you fight with your parents now, make sure to tell them that you love them. Talk to them, find out about their life, how they grew up, what their childhood was like. Try to connect with them. Kids seem to forget that their parents are people too, people with lives and fears and motivations and hopes. Talking to them, getting to know them, and telling them you love them will help with the feelings of regret.
I always hurt my parents. What can I do to stop it?
God is the creator of this universe, parents are the sole creator of a child on this earth. They sacrificed a lot in their life, to make you a person, what you are today. Parent are demi god to a son.Your relation with your parent is not satisfactory..but you have the inner feeling that you should make yourself comfortable with them. That is indeed a great endeavor from your side.Let's see what making you unhappy....Don't you love and respect them?Don't you want to stay with them?If your parent want some monetary benefit from you, you don't want to support their demands.Are they interfering in your personal matters.Are you professionally dependent on your parents.They want you to marry by their own choice.Are they too religious and burdening you with their conservatism.Are you a vagabond. Have you acquainted yourself in the habit of opposing them in everything by saying, you know nothing, what's going on outside world.There may be many more reason for your disagreement....some from theirs side, some from yours.Find out the reasons coolly.Ask them and relate them properly...still if they are conservative.Let them speak their problems. Convey them, what you are thinking.Don't surrender yourself completely, by thinking that if you oppose will go to hell.Search out a middle path.Avoid the matters which creating discontent.Sacrifice some of your desires, ambitions, achievements.Let them sacrifice their rigid views and pressure.Don't always support their unnecessary charities. Don't give up when you are right, handle the situation with a small touch of diplomacy. That is no sin.Admire your parent, when they are right and thinking your happiness.Don't talk them loud, impolite and indecent.Make some adjustments and changes, even it hurts you.Pray regularly to feel confident..God will forgive your every sin, if you have any..If you are righteous then you shouldn't fear anyones accusations.
What do you think of my plan for if my parents refuse to let me attend a 4-year college?
And your reaction to your parents desire is as immature as what they are saying about you.You are 18. In North America you are an adult which means that legally you can make your own decisions but that also means that your parents are not legally bound to provide an education past high school or have to pay for it. That is your decision and your financial responsibility.Taking a year out would give you more time to improve your marks, decide on which course really is a good match for what you want to do as a career, improve your social skills and give you time just to mature a bit and not waste the $10,000 on a first year that you might end up saying "I don't like what course I'm taking." or spend most of the year in a drunken stupper.Your parents know you better than you know yourself! Also, have you considered who is footing the bill for your college education? Maybe their finances are tight and they need more time to pay for your education or to help you pay for your education. Start thinking about other people and the responsibilities of life like how hard is it to get a job these days and how much does it cost to keep you fed, clothed, educated, and sheltered. Do you know how much the water and hydro bills are so you can have a shower, clean and cook and have the interent running? Cost of internet and cellphones? Think, learn, and start becoming more responsible and act like an adult rather than a spoilt child!
