First off i am 18 yrs old and my parents treat me like im 15.They bought me a car when i was 16, But i didnt get my license till last june so my mom has been driving it everyday. Anyway i broke up with my g/f about 2 months ago and since then i havent gone anywhere with my friends or anything. I try to take my car out but my parents flip out and hide the keys saying im not good enough at driving to go by myself. I drive fine and they know that, but they think im going to go out and get drunk/high and wreck car or commit crimes I cant even talk to them about it without them just screaming saying i dont know how to park or backup Can anyone give me some advice on what i should do? My friends cant drive or have cars and i live far away from anything to walk. Im really starting to go crazy...

Stuck at help need advice.

Man that's harsh. Mabe if they eventually relize ur a good person and don't do that kinda stuff. Or just tell themthat u know? There's no easy solution in my mind
-
Im not even going out to do drugs im going to look for a job, But no when i tell my mom that she says something like "You dont know how to work you never do anything around the house".
Which is bs since i do all kind of work around here.. -
You're 18. When can you move out of your parents' house? (You'll need to go to college or get a job first, I presume.)
-
Yeah i cant move out since i have no money or job, But thats why im trying to get job atm.
-
so is your problem that you can't get out of the house and see your friends?
public transport? push bike? riding a bike = gets you fit! you can travel good distances on them too.
i dont see how you are just going to get your parents to trust you :frowning:
maybe if you got a responsible job and held it for a while or something. if you do get a job, you could say that you will apply for a car loan and buy your own if they still will not let you drive... -
Is the car registered in your name? If it is, and public transport or bicycle aren't practical, perhaps you could sell it, move out on the money to somewhere more central, and then look for a job.If it's not in your name you don't really have a car.
-
Car isnt in my name and no public transportation
-
So your parents, in effect, have you imprisoned. Do you have any long-term plans, like going to school, etc.?
-
Wow im sorry, i would have gone insane if i didnt get out of my parents house at 17. is there anywhere that you can walk to get a job? (or ride a bike) Make them listen, tell them your 18, your an adult now and that they should treat you like one. Wow i really dont have a solution.
