Hey you guys, im 15 years old and i'm having problems in school especially in math.

Well the problem is that my parents dont let me do anything infact they dont trust me...because i never used to listen in the past but now i wanna regain that trust like befo

They dont let me do anything, they dont let go outside when i want to; they wont let me sleep over at a friends house or even if im not sleeping over.

They are very over protective and strict. I really want them to let me have more free time and maybe even give me a curfew because i shouldnt have to be stuck in the house all the time or cleaning or whatever..babysitting my sibblings you know?

I wanna go out and have fun..go to teen parties with my friends...go outside and chill but be back before my curfew. I just wanna live the life of a normal teenager..but its so hard..i cant just get up and leave you know because in that case id maybe be grounded for life...what do i do??

Please help this really means alot to me...

i thought i would respond to this because ther was no male respondents to your ?'s

i am 46 years old and my son is 6 years old he is our only

child , he is our life and our soul.

his individuality is developing and as a parent although very tough we give him choices and let him make mistakes and we

love him even more, so far things are good

but i know as he reaches your age he will demand more freedom i dread this day , he will no longer want to play with his superman dad , our be a jedi knight and me a storm trooper , he will be my son all over againg and i will trust and love him and continue to teach what i know.

i wil never lose trust in him because i will make sure he does not lose trust in me

Laura1318 agony auntGood for you. Continue to act like an adult and be more matured and understanding. You need to see from your parent's perspective too. Some day you will be a parent and have children then you will understand why your parents act that way.

Laura1318 agony auntYou could please your parents by doing everything they asked of you even if you don't like it. When they see that you have changed , they may relax and allow you more freedom.

You need to understand that your parents love you a lot and they don't want anything to happen to you . You are still young and you may not be aware of the dangers . Each time , if they allow you to go out, they will worry a lot and have plenty of anxieties, especially your mom. They care for you.

Wow. That sounds like a tough situation. I suggest that you ask them and talk with them about their concerns and your concerns but try not to shout because then they won't listen. Try to be matureabout it and just ask them if you can have a little more responsibility about what you do and just promise them that if they do let you then you won't mess about or betray them. Just talk with them an let them come around to the idea. Hope this helps x
