ok well, i wasn't allowed to date till i'z 16 * thats kinda normal tho* i wasn't allowed to shave my underarms till 13, not allowed to shave my legs till 14, they don't like me going to friends houses, im not allowed to go to the movies with my friends w/o a parent still, etc.
-
Parents too overprotective! HELP!
-
i still dont see that being way overprotective they just care about you and maybe you arent showing them your mature enough for these things.
-
im quiet, i get straight A's. im in all honors classes and taking harvard/mit classes soon, never mouthed off, never really been a bad kid.
-
Maybe they just dont want you getting hurt. I say, just sort of try to live with it. Deffinatly dont sneak out, or they'll take what privlages you have right now away. (yes, privlages. And you say no more make up or tv? lol)
-
Yeah, the dating thing is normal. As for shaving, who cares? I mean, it's not that big of a deal. And there are plenty of parents who won't let there kids shave- what about freak shaving accidents?!?!?!?! I think it is normal behaviour on your parents part to regulate things like that. But what are you doing at night that you have to sneak out for?
-
i go to my bfs house, they dont really like him bc hes of a different race. but they haven't even met him.
-
i dont watch tv and i dont ware make up either. im not allowed to wear make up and they don't let me watch the tv
-
But you get what im saying they can take more stuff away from you, and its perfectly normal behaivor. And again, do not sneak out of the house. Have a little more respect for your parents then that. What if something happened to you, they wouldnt know where to find you!
-
If i had a kid and they snuck out i wouldnt let them go anywhere.
-
In reply to: Well, have your parents met your friends yet? My mom wouldn't let me go out w/ the friends she hadn't yet met. I don't think that's being overprotective if they don't know them. yeah my parents know my friends pretty well, they even mess around with them on the phone!

could have my liscence but, haven't taken classesYou don't need to take any class to get your operator's license. You just need to be able to pass the written test, eye exam, and road test. You can take the class after you get your license, and still get the insurance discount, if that's why classes matter to you.In reply to:i snuck out and took the new car, mum and dad found out. they freaked. ... i still sneak out but take the other car now.You're not stupid, but if you actually stopped and thought about it, you'd realize how very, very screwed your parents and you would be if you got into an accident. Insurance might not cover, and they and you could lose everything you own, including your house.In reply to:how do i get mum and dad off my back?By leaving their goddam cars alone! WTF is wrong with you? Your parents are pretty damn stupid for leaving the car keys anywhere you might find them, because you're not to be trusted.

allowing your children to go out into the world is a very scary thing for any parents, and depending where you live and who you hang out with i guess it could seem worse. Most children/young adults DON'T know all the dangers, and its up to parents to educate them......tho of course all teenagers think they know everything and are invincible............respect and consideration are a big thing between parents and children, and im not sure sneaking out in the middle of the night and taking their car comes anywhere near being respectful or considerate.Have you spoken to your parents about the way you feel by the way?You havn't got a full license, and they kinda give those out for a reason, when you have proved to them you can drive safely. you are being stupid, and sooner or later your parents WILL find out and then not only will they be angry, and for good reason, they will be hurt and never trust you again.
-
> they kinda give those out for a reason
Yes, but even if they didn't give them out for a reason, if you get pulled over driving without a vaid operators license, you're kind of screwed (and the police will have the care towed and your parents will have to pick you up at the police station); if you have an accident, you're really screwed. If your accident causes property damage or injury to others, you're really screwed.
Once you get past the car thing, you can worry about the other stuff.

In reply to:how do i get mum and dad off my back? that will never happen till u move out. my brother is 21 and he still has rules to follow. always will as long as he is here living with mom and dad.WTF were thingking takign the car???? that's NOT going to help. if u want them to "get off ur back" u'll have to show them u canuse good judgment. but stealing there NEW car.....nooooooooo way is that.. i dk. If i had took there car or even drove my own truck with them saying it was ok my dad would.... i don;t want to think about wut he would do. no truck, no bike no computer and when i say no i mean SALE.. them gone like no more bye bye.. abotu the movies and friend thing. my parents are umm wired about that too. they would meet parents b4 letting one of us go stay with a new friend. usally most the time friends came over here. she's still not crazy about me watchingR moveies but hell she knows i know wut goes on so now she don;t care.
-
The other night my dad basically hinted to me that he knew i was sneaking out because he couldnt find one of his flash lights and he goes james did you take it out when you were sneaking out or some shit, it was pretty funny so i dont think my parents care all that much which is really odd because there very good parents about that shit
-
How do you get them off your back?! SHOW SOME RESPECT.. holy shit.. if i stole my parents cars id never come back home!! I'd get my ass handed to me!..
-
In reply to:
i go to my bfs house, they dont really like him bc hes of a different race. but they haven't even met him.
Well, there we go. They should meet him. Also, my mom really likes to know other people's parents; it's just important to her to know who would be taking care of me when I spend the night.
-
