Turkey Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 I've earned my parent's trust, and now they only tell me this: "No drugs, no smokes, no drinking." I have yet to break that rule (except for 1 little accident with wine). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 [color=green]My parents are the same way and i'm 15. They never let me do anything with my friends, so the whole week I just sit at home and do nothing when I could be doing something. Sometimes I just feel like screaming I feel so locked up. This only goes on on the weekdays, but on the weekend I can go to friends houses. Also, they won't let me go on the computer because they are scared I will mess up the computer, so I go on at school. So, I know exactly how you feel. But, I can usually find things to do in my room, write listen to music, watch TV, whatever I can find to do. Hopefully soon they will realize I can take care of myself.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Macaiodh Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 ...getting into the topic late (as always, it seems)... i wrote the damn book on this subject. a lot of my friends call me carrie, from the stephen king book, b/c my parents are fanatically overprotective like carrie's mom. but that's not the point i'm trying to make. i'm not saying it's my parents' fault, but my brothers & i are all completely rebellious. i think if we had had more liberties when we were growing up, we wouldn't have gone so wild when we had the chance. to this day we all have huge problems w/ authority & being told what to do. anyway, we didn't really care about my parents' rules too much. we just did whatever we wanted anyway. thank god i had a first-floor window, lol. ignore me, i can be such a bad influence at times. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, that's the problem. And what if alcohol wasn't ever invented? Then what other thing would've been created in it's place? It's all those immature grown-ups and teenagers that drink that cause accidents and death to other people or themselves. That's the problem. If people were more responsible, we wouldn't have these problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pressure Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 [color=purple]Queen Asuka, I love your rope metaphor. Sweetie.. if you want to earn your parent's trust, stop being so damn immature. I used to think the same thing, I thought my Mom was put on this Earth to ruin my life and hide behind the mask of Motherhood. Everyone else's parent's let them go out with their friends and have co-ed sleep overs. I thought they were lucky as hell. Then I decided to grow up. Your parents believe it or not, actually DO do this stuff because they love you. They don't just say that to make you shut up. They say it because it's true. My mom warned me about these people that I thought were cool. She saw through the fog of coolness that I didn't. She saw what their parent's were like and knew that affected their kids and 98% of the time, she was right in keeping me away from these people. I hated her for not letting me go, but then as life went on, I saw these kids morph from being cool into being jerks that drank, smoked, took drugs, and were sexually active. I thank my mom frequently for doing it. She thinks I'm crazy and doesn't believe I'm really thanking her, but I am. Now I'm not a saint, don't think I am. I'm more like BabyGirl. I do crap behind my mom's back. I've snuck out with my friend Jess'ca at 2 am on a Saturday, which was unbelievable stupid, and walked around my town. I've gone skinnydipping with my friends, and I've gone to Teen Clubs and taken E. My mom told me not to do any of these, and while she doesn't know I've done any of them, she still trusts me. To a degree. When I was 12 I seriously screwed myself over and pushed my mom to the limit. I never helped around the house, my grades were falling, my attitude sucked, and I was an all around evil b*tch to my mother. I lost all my time online, I couldn't go to dances, my weekends I was locked in my room and even put on rations. I was only allowed to come downstairs once a day, and that was only if I was cleaning. I was only allowed to go to the bathroom twice a day, and I was lucky if she felt generous enough to give me dinner. Most weekends, I would get crackers and orange juice. It made me insane and I hated every fiber of my mother's existence. But I had been making life hell for her and I swear I deserved everything I got. I swallowed my pride, which was the best thing I ever did for myself. And I started to do what she asked, without question. Now, I still have to substanciate being able to go out and see my friends, but I just get it over with and do it anyways. I can go to friend's houses, I can visit my cousins, I can go to dances. Just quit thinking your parent's are the problem. You have to show them that your worthy of their trust and you won't give in to something you don't want to do. Forget that your even doing it for your parents. Do it for you. And be thankful your parents care about you. My father calls once a year if I'm lucky, never sends any money, and will only do it, if he gets something in return. Stop being a victim and earn your parent's trust.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel--Ignition Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 I know that being over-protected is good fer ya. but when youre going to your bus and it comes, and your mom is in the driveway waving to all the kids on the bus, that is sad. I cannot go to one of my best friend's houses and he lives about 5 streets away! I get grounded just because my dad feels like it, and if I complain, it becomes two months! Zero, you can accually go to the mall by yourself! I can even go to sleep by myself! My dad comes into my room every hour, "checking on me." And then they get mad at me for B's on my report card! Waddya expect when you don't get any sleep! If my parents found out that I have a g/f, they'd go ballistic. Everything I do I have to do it behind my parents backs. They say I'm wasting my life playing videogames, it's the only thing that I'm allowed to do with out my parent's consent. If I watch tv, they have to know what channel I'm watching. I'd like to get into a sport, but my parents have filled my head with thoughts of injury or death. I'm scared to walk outside my house!

She doesn't worry about you.. its the world around you.. and peer pressure is a b.tch.. she knows that.. and doesn't want you to give into it.. *cough* Some of the guys? *cough* Most men don't mature until they are in their late 30's early 40's.. then there is the percentage that doesn't mature at all.. Your mom is worried for you.. Be thankful that someone loves you that much.. Sure I know it can be frustrating.. but if you sit down and talk with your mother, even if you've already done it do it again, then the worst that can happen is thigns may stay the same. But usually they change for the better. It's frustrating.. and it will be until you move out, but if you stop dwelling on how unfair it is and stop focusing on what you can't do and start focusing on what you can, life will become a LOT easier.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegitto4 Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by BulmaVegeta1 [/i] [B]I just can't stand it when my mom or dad treats me like I'm a baby or something. They never let me do anything which causes me to stay home all the time to do nothing. Life sux when ur only 12 I guess. My b-day is coming up in May and I'll be 13. Hopefully, they'll finally relize that I'm not 3 anymore. See, I have a friend whom I hardly ever get to see since he's a boy and I'm a girl. My parents think that we'll "do stuff that 12 and 13 year old girls and boys do" and I'm like, "yeah right, like we'd ever do that." I guess they think that we'd make out or something. And because of that I never get to see him. If he's reading this, he'll know exactly what I mean. His mom is so nice and she kinda embrasses us both by saying that I'm her daughter-in-law and stuff like that but we're only good friends. Well, I guess I kinda do like him, but I wish my parents wouldn't be so over pertective like they are because I'd like to see my friends sometimes. Just because he's a boy and I'm a girl dosen't mean that we're gonna "do stuff" like my parents think. Not all 13 year boys are like that, espically my friend!
