My parents wont let me do anything and im 15! What do i do?
I don't see your point. And I'm 16! So what if you go outside when your parents aren't home? what can you do anyways? It's not like you can drive anywhere. So what if your Mom goes on vacation for work? It's not like you ever work. And vacations for work are usually just working somewhere else. And that doesn't count as not letting you do anything. Some people have it worse than you.
My parents expect me to act like an adult but treat me like I'm 9?
Hi I'm 15,Ok so my parents won't let me go out like my friends can, like they can just walk to the movies that day and watch something and their parents don't care that much and they can walk freely and their parents trust them. But my parents are like you need to make plans a week in advance and we need to meet your friend and the parents of your friend and nothing good comes from walking around the town, but that's exactly the opposite of what they do they'll just call a friend and be like yah why don't you come over tonight and we can watch a movie but my friend will hit me up and say you wanna go to the park which is right next to the house and my and my parents will only let me go if they can come but that will never happen because I didn't plan it a week in advance. And the only freedom I get is I live on a coldesac(idk how to spell it) and I'm not alloud past the end of it onto the road into my neighborhood. This all is really anoying me how can I convince then I'm not a kid??
My parents wont let me move out =(?
You are twenty. You do not have to actually ask for permission. BUT you can act like an adult and lay out your plan as something you will be doing (not asking if you can) and ask them if they have any advice. If they tell you that you are not going, you will have to just calmly tell them that it is not a plea to go, it is a consultation because you value their opinion - and that you know what their opinion on your leaving is already. Meantime. Work all you can now and when you get to FL. Try to take out NO loans. When you graduate, then you will be debt free and ready to move on in life without that extra burden. Why are you waiting a year to go? You should be down there establishing residency and working. - and applying. Seek admission for the semester you will be eligible and in the meantime you could be taking classes at the cheaper Jr. college to fill in the gaps if UCF does not transfer all your credits. it happens. Best to plan for that. Good luck.
My parents won't let me live my life I'm 19?
They say they want me to have lots of friends but won't let me go out(since I live under their roof so I understand) wont let me have sex smoke, everything adults do. I know the only option...to move out. But I love my parents so much, I just want to live my life. Like for example this Friday im going to a guys house to spend the night, I can't just be honest and tell them what I'm doing I have to lie. How do I find the perfect balance?
I want to start a career that my parents won't let me do. What should I do?
Is what you do something you love? Would you identify it as one of your passions? Then ignore your parents and do what you want to do.I was you a long time ago. I wanted to be an actor and voice over actor. I could cry on cue and make people laugh from my skits. Then I'd be grounded. That's right. I was grounded for acting.I loved to draw. And people said that I was very talented already before I was 5 years old.The arts were calling me, even before I can remember.Then my family, being the typical traditional Asian family, sat me down and told me I was forbidden to do arts “because there's no money in art.” My choices were business or science.The hypocrisy of my family was what made things confusing. See, every person in my father’s side were artists: oil painters to be specific. And they were really talented. So for them to forbid me from going into the arts was like them strangling my “soul.”I thought we’re supposed to look up to our parents for guidance as they're the ones who know what's best. I thought they had my best interest in mind when they decided in my future.I was wrong.I took sciences in school. I hated it.I took sciences in college. I barely graduated with a C-.I took Medical Laboratoy Sciences Technology and even though I graduated with honours, I hated it. I worked in the hospital and private labs for a decade. Every day was killing me inside.I went back to school and followed my dreams. I hadn't felt more alive since being a little kid. But I fell ill and I didn't have it in me to stay on the path.I love painting and people have given me positive reception. I play the drums and I enjoy doing it. I'm not good, but that's not the point.Parents aren't always right and they don't always do things that are best for you. They maybe living vicariously through you, and that's wrong.Your life, your passion, your education.Life is much more than chasing riches and not all riches is money.
Why won't my parents ever let me be independent?
You are sabotaging your future because your parents care about you. I would not call that a very mature attitude. They will stop asking you when you become trustworthy enough to do it without them checking on you. You also lie to them. You are no where near ready for independence and when you turn 18 I bet you are not ready to get a job and support yourself because no one will hire a quitter. There will always be someone riding you in life, a boss, or someone no matter how old you are or what you do. You will always have to answer to someone. Even the president has to answer to others. My suggestion is for you to talk to a counselor. You can talk to one for free at the Boys Town National Teen hotline. They might be able to help you communicate better with your parents or help you figure out a plan you and your parents can work on together so there won't have to be all the nagging. However it won't work if you don't hold up your end of it. You have nothing to lose by trying but keep in mind you and you alone are responsible for your homework whether you are being nagged or not. And if you refuse to do it for any reason you are just showing everyone you cannot handle it. It is no one else's fault. 1-800-448-3000 24 hours a day, free
What do I do if my parents refuse to see me as an adult or talk without a huge fight?
Well honestly, emotions are a disaster. Do not live your life by your emotions, or you are going to have one heck of a terrible life.That said, if your parent refuses to see you as an adult, there are two possible reasons….One: You are not acting like an adult. Being adult means acting like one. If you act like a teenager, even if you are 40 years old, I’m going to treat you like a child. Because you are acting like one. I’ve met men that were 40, but acted exactly like they were 15.Two:, and this is more and more common, you parents simply don’t know how to stop being mommy and daddy. Usually it’s the mother that in our feminist culture, thinks that it’s all about them.The solution there is rather brutal. You just leave. You move out. Get your own place, and live your own life.I actually had to do this… almost. My mother was doing this to me, and finally one day I told her straight up, if she didn’t cut it out, I was going to change my phone number, move to a new apartment, and she would never see me again. And I was dead serious too. She knew it. Broke down in tears, and then after that she lost her mommy syndrome, and we’ve been fine ever since. But it required me standing up to her face, and telling her that she was finished with that.

My parents wont let me go on vacation with my boyfriend?
me and my boyfriend are both 19. We have been together for a year and going out has never been a problem, my parents trust me completely and my mom knows that I'm sexually active. We have been to Disneyland twice already and stayed four days at a hotel both times and they were okay with it. Now my boyfriend's job offered him a great package to go on vacation to Dom. republic and we talked to my mom and she was okay with it. But later she came to me and told me that my dad told her that I couldn't go because "this wasn't my honeymoon". He never told me tho, he told her to tell me. I dont really know what i should do now. I know they trust me and they know i'm responsible, and after our two trips already I never thought he was going to say no. I'm kind of afraid of talking to my dad because I don't want him to flip out on my, but I really want to go. What should I do? Parents' perspective would be greatly appreciated! P.S. I'm paying for the vacations, not them.

But I really love my car which I put a lot of money into fixing
