Answer 1

It will shape up. I was in almost the exact same situation... cept a year later. Eventually they will have to give up control, but you need to take it a little at a time. If you haven't graduated high school yet, you will next year and alot will change then. Try to go away to school. My school was only an hour a way from my parent's home town, but I chose to live there. It made a world of difference. Until them, don't give them any reasons not to trust you, it will only make it harder in the end. And you can decide what love is for yourself, just like your mom did when she met your dad. Not to say you will end up marrying this guy... but its great experience either way. But on that note, being a legal adult does not give you the right to go wild either, you are still living in their house (not what you wanted to hear I know).. actually going wild at this point might ruin your chances to make your own decisions. But march is a while away and college is even closer after that. Hang in there...

Answer 2

there will always be someone else telling you what to do if its not your parents, its your boss. anyways....some parents just dont know when to let go, so we have to be the ones to remind them that some day you will be out on your own, making your own way.
there is no one who can tell you who to love or not too. good luck. I'm now 25 and would never ever want to relive the teen years. but know there is a light at the end of the tunnel.... its called going away to college.

Answer 3

Sounds like they love you too much. Calmly explain that you are upset at them and are consider moving out. At the same time, start making plans to move out, a job, a house etc. You want to try and resolve the conflict if possible but you will only be in a strong position in your own mind if you know you can leave

Answer 4

I feel hermit crabs don't seem to be well for pets for the reason that they're probably noticeable on the dikes going through the ocean. You want plenty of matters to grasp in the event you fairly desired to cause them to as pets. When I was once a child, after a swimming travel I frequently deliver with me this hermit crab and it remains alive just for per week at residence.

Answer 5

you are getting ready to be 18 years old you should save up some money and move out then they cannot tell you what to do anymore because you will not be living under their roof any longer but as long as you are living with them then they can tell you what to do so i say that you and your boyfriend get an apartment together

Answer 6

Once you're in college you will be on your own. Free to get drunk stupid and have promiscuous sex with people you don't know. And your parents can't stop you.

Answer 7

try to live as far as u can away from them

Answer 8

once you're REALLY responsible and off to college, that's when you'll probably be on your own.
