Controlling Parents...

Tagged as: Family<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (5 May 2009) 3 Answers - (Newest, 31 May 2009)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I'm 16 years old and my parents still treat me like I'm 6. They gave me a phone when I was 12 because my mum and dad are divorced and my dad didn't like calling the house phone... anyways, a few months ago they took that away because 'they say' I was on it too much. Well, I'm 16 and of course I'm going to be on it a bit. They also don't let me out at weekends, they say weekends are for family only. While all my friends are out partying I'm stuck at home with my family. I do love my family but I just feel they treat me like 6 and don't want me to grow up.

My parents found out I was dating a 18 year old and they flipped out and told me to break it off straight away. Controlling or what?!?!?!

How do I get my parents to understand how I feel. I've spoken to them but they don't seem to listen.

HELP ME!!!! x

Unfortunately your parents pretty much have control of your life at this stage.

Mine didn't like me going out either.

But you just have to use it as reason to work hard at school and then in a couple of years... BANG, you get to leave home and go away to university.

Then you can do what you want and never have to go back.

Keep your head down and ride it out.

Being 16 sucks.

Good Luck!! xx

Why not try talking to them first and look at the situation from there point of view, not just your own, I've resented what my parents did to me at 16 and as you get older you realize why they do what they do, and the reason is they only have your best interests at heart and don't want you to crash and burn.
