My parents are way to strict and I'm 17!?
I am normally all about children following the rules their parents lay down for them. We all went through it, most of us lived and even turned out ok. However it is not uncommon for overly sheltered teens to walk into the real world and be destroyed by it. You need social skills, you need street smarts, you need to be able to hold your own. You need to be able to resist peer pressure. The dangers in the world are great, but by contrast, the ones you face in your teens are less than those you face as an adult. Explain to your parents that you need to face the real world eventually, and you would like to do it while your brain is still in it's developmental phases. Edit: Ask your parents if they think you should do what someone tells you just because they can use violence against you. Ask them what they are trying to teach you with violence. At a younger age, force teaches you that your actions and words can cause pain. At this age, they are teaching you that it is ok to obey a person who hits you. Terrorists use force and threats of violence to get their way. If you reach a point where you have had enough, declare all unholy Jihad and walk out.
Why are my parents so strict?
Your parents fear you might get hurt! This fear is not only an imagined fear. Thus is a real fear from 100s possible dangers around a child or even teenager.If you meet dangerous but exciting guys/girls they may insist you smoke with them. Or worse.I will give you an example of bad company, “dressed” nicely. My daughter said one day “ How much money do you want? I could get you any amount. It's false but perfect.” I froze. Then I freaked. She explained she had that “friend” who was supplying many with false money and they had to pay 1/10 only! The guy was charming and seemed like from a good family! He'll. ..can you imagine how her life could become a mess???There are so many real dangers and having fear is good in those cases to warn us to be alert. Parents can't be 100% there but they do their best and it's for their kids good.Other fears based on wrong beliefs and habits should be eliminated. Like - “ I can't ever do what Peter is doing! He is clever, I am not” That is stupid and it can be dealt with very efficiently now.[1]Footnotes[1] FREE LIVE Virtual Training Event: Learn To Apply The Latest Brain Based Methods To Uncover & Overcome Your Hidden Non-Conscious Fears
Why are my parents so strict?
My friends all say that they've cussed in front of their parents and their parents don't care. If I cussed in front my parents, especially my dad, they would get mad and tell me to never do that ever again. And they're allowed to have crazy parties and stuff with their parents' permission and have boys sleep over and stuff. If I asked my mom if I could have a party with alcohol and stuff she'd slap me and they'd have a fit if they ever saw a boy sleeping over in the house. They'd be so angry if I came home drunk. And my friends say that they hide their report cards from their parents and stuff, but I could never get away with something like that. My mom is always getting on my case about doing my homework and that I'd better finish all my homework and get good grades. They also never let me skip school unless I'm REALLY sick, and if I try to beg them they just tell me to get dressed because I must go to school and we're not discussing it. I'm not allowed to go out on weekdays and if I ask my parents are always like "don't you have a test to study for?' or 'don't you have homework that needs doing?' I even heard my friend on the phone with her mom and she was raising her voice to her and stuff. I would NEVER get away with something like that. Why are their parents so lenient?
My parents are WAY too strict!?
Once I took a handful of raisins (me trying to be healthy so my parents get off my back) and my mom tells me to put half of them back because raisins have too much sugar! They are obsessed with healthy, they made me quit drinking cow milk, eating cheese, white bread, cookies, ice cream, chocolate, coffee, and meat. 1. I'm not lactose-intolerant (NO ONE IN MY FAMILY IS!) 2. I don't have food allergies (I know, I've had a blood test and the doctor says I have no food allergies) 3. I'm 13, 5 foot 3.5 inch and 100 pounds, my BMI is 18. I take sports all year round! I know they want me to be healthy, but they practically let me have no candy or anything like they used to. My grandma has Diabetes (the kind were you can't eat a lot of sugar) but my parents don't have it, and no one else in my family does. I'm always jealous of my friends cause their parents are relaxed and don't limit their food, or make them study in the summer, or hover over them 24/7. Oh, and my mom always compl
What do I do, my parents are so weird n strict?
You could actually try to get emancipated from your parents. You could also talk to them and tell them that you are extremely unhappy and you don't think they care about your happiness. Tell them you get picked on at school because of how you look. Let them know that you have the right to be yourself and not what they want you to be. Suicide is not the answer......You will be out of there by 18 years old (hopefully sooner) and you can do anything you want to then and for the rest of your life.....Hang in there......If it gets too bad, then I would run away before committing suicide. You have a long life ahead of you and trust me, it WILL get better.
Im 16 and my parents are too strict?
Phone? yes , but no texting or calling unless its my parents. 4g? only if i have straight a's and b's Boyfriend? yes, but only if that means i never see him, and dont mind getting my texts read. Curfew? I dont have one, i cant go anywhere, maybe once a month go to a school game. Car? i have to be 18. Do i drive? never driven more than a mile. facebook, instagram, kik: he has my passwords to everything. and if i delete my stuff he will take my phone away. Im still a virgin, havent done drugs, dont drink, dont skip school yet they still dont trust me to do anything. Ive never been to a party. & all i do is sit in my room and fuckig text, you know why? because im not allowed to do anything else. they dont have time to take me anywhere. Im not gonna lie i have become more distant from the family but thats because they treat me like im 10. One time this guy who i really liked messaged me and finally said ally i really like you and my dad read everything a replied to him she is my daughter leave her alone wait another 20 years. Im so stuck :c i didnt even have a party of my own for my 16th birthday.
I'm 16 and Indian and my parents are so strict with me. How can I get some freedom??
Wow. I've been in the same situation for almost two years now. My girlfriend used to be secret, but I know they suspect something out of the phone calls and such. I didn't officially tell them that she's my girlfriend. I let them figure out it on their own. When they ask me about her i respond, "She's my friend, mom." If my mom walks in on me and catches me talking to her on the phone, I quickly change the subject to homework. "Uh.. what did you get for problem #9?" When I tell them that I'm doing my homework, they can't argue because I can say, "If you don't let me do my homework with a friend, then I might get a bad grade, mom." They might ask, "Well why can't you do it with someone else?" I say, "That's because nobody else in my class wants to do the homework." My parents expect me to study all the time, even though I get straight A's. I'm not the studying type, if you ask me. I like to cram to the last minute, so they hardly see me studying. When they do, I'd be studying with my girlfriend. If this doesn't work, then my suggestion for you is to sit down and have a talk with one of your parents. Pick the parent that is more sympathetic.
