Im sorry you are having probs with them. I am a grown up now with a 19yr old daughter. I had a very tough childhood because I was a sandwich sibbling between 3 half sisters and 2 full sisters. My father was so strict to this day I try to fight forgetting many injustices. And so I say this to let hyou know that Icare about people whose parents are too strict.
However, let's see how strict they are?
Do they let you go out with your friends? Can you have a party at home? Can you have any say at home? Do they punish you physically?
Do they prohibit you from seeing people you love? do they tell you that you cant go to the school you want to go to? do they make preferences for others sibblings and only get strict with you?
Think of how many awful situations other people go through with very awful parents. It can be a lot worse than having to wear a skirt and gauchos. Though I personally never influenced my daughter or forced her to wear soemthing she didnt want.
Just wear the darn skirt and let them be happy by that little detail. But do talk again with them without anger and let them know that you even had to write about it online (maybe that will hint them that they are being abnoctious about it with you).
Good luck and best advice REMEMBER THEY ARE HUMAN TOO...YOUR PARENTS.

I, too, cannot see the connection between your dress code and your grades. Maybe there is more to the story and your grades aren't what is troubling them. They might not feel comfortable talking to you about your "sexuality issues". Do you dress in a way that makes them uncomfortable? Or, your parents may know that clothing and fashion are very important to you. They may be using this dress code to let you know how very serious they are with their rules. Remind your parents that you are still learning and that you love them for caring enough to worry about you.

My parents even worse, my mom always like that. When they nag, I just listen to themor go somewhere else. Talking back to them would be really tiring, I do when I could accept them but sometimes it really make me angry. But I couldn't bear when someone talk or gossip about me, about my bad things especially about my grades. When your parents talk to you next time, you tell them clearly that you hate wearing skirts and ask them to do the other thing. Then u promise them that u would really do wat they ask for except skirts and guachos!

First of all how old are you? Then the question is have your parents told you their expectations. Do you feel you are living up to them and if you are then write out a list of the ways you have done this and present it to them. Parents like when you write out things and present it to them it shows a lot of thought and maturity. Try this and if that doesnt work go to your grandma parents usually listen to them.

I'd tell them that clothes have nothing to do with your grades. It's not your fault that you are stupid, and shouldn't be punished for the bad genetics they gave you. I would also simply protest, wear what you want, or go around naked. ( I'm not saying you are stupid, but I that is what I would say when talking to them. ) they don't have the right to controll how you dress, simply becuase they forced you to exist. feel free to write back for more suggestions. or have them write to me.

Everyone thinks their parents are too strict (my kids too!) You'll be making your own decisions soon enough, and believe me, that's no fun either! Just hang in there, and always remember, they're doing the best they can!

Until you are 18 your parents are in charge of and responsible for you.
You can try to discuss it reasonably but they are the final authority

A/B AVERAGE!!!! girl, thats good!!!! why are they like that?
and my parents are the same EXACT way, if u wanna talk, you can IM me or email me at: gothic_fairyangel@yahoo.com
and they want you to be perfect. they want to be able to brag about you to their frends.
relax, yelling makes things WAY worse, send them emails telling them that you feel bad or something like that

It's a commandment "honor your father and mother" and be very very glad that you have parents that sound like they care and are at least with you. Alot of kids have no direction at all!

First ask yourself do my parents want the best for me? yes! do you feel their love? if you do then remember! that they were at one time young too! and what you're going thru- is only temporary! and if you relax and don't showed anger you will be fine!
