That's exactly like my situation, word for word. All you really have to do is show that your responsible. DON'T EVER LIE. That's a biggy. Do your chores around the house and even do some that they don't expect you to do. Then when you're asking to go out, give your parents all the info, like your friend's phone numbers, what time you're going to be at that place, and what time you're expecting to be home. Also, call in once in a while to check in to let your parents not worry over you. I hope this helps. But also, look at your parent's situation. They may seem over protective, but only because they love you. My parents are the way they are because when my sister was younger, she was kidnapped, but thank god, we found her. My mother doesn't want that to happen to me either. Your parents just love you, and that's the way they are, parents. You can't be too careful nowadays. Good luck with going out. :)

This is something you probably don't want to hear but I too am a parent.I have 3 kids and my daughter is 12 going on 13 next month.I don't think so much they are being over protective,they want to keep you safe.Someone tried to grab my daughter last year and the thought of not having her would kill me.It's a crazy world out there and i know you want your space.Would you rather parents that don't care what you did or who you were with?Im 30 and i don't have my parents and they are gone.I still feel like a lost child without them.I'd love to have my mom yell at me or argue.I had my first child at 17 with the wrong person.They wanted the best for me and i rebelled.Those friends are gone and sadly so are my parents.The ones who protect you in life are the one's who will be there for you.They just dont want anything to happen to you.My daughters friends i let them come over and i just want the best for her like I'm sure they want that for you.

You brat! I'm around the same age as you and it seems like your trying way to hard to try and become "Little Miss Teenager" right away. You have good parents. and you tard, you are breathing. Just be glad your mom doesnt lock you in a room with a pail of Ammonia. THEN you wouldnt breathe. And a boyfriend? what is it.. a cute little Junior High Romance? omg I'm turning into Grade 9 and I still haven't went out with anybody. Why? because I wanted to wait until REAL love.. Wait until High School. And If you can't, your not mature.. its just dat simple.

No offense, but you are still a young child. They are going to be protective of you because you are not capable of taking care of yourself. If you only knew of all the sick people in this world and what they can do, you would understand. The best thing you can do is continue to be responsible and maintain your parents trust. You are still very young - when you are a little bit older they will start to back off a little bit and see what you do on your own.

You're pathetic.
1. You are waaaaaay to young to even have a bf. I'm 17 and I can't date, and I never have gone behind my parents back, I will wait till I am allowed to date.
2. You don't know what's right from wrong. You're only 12, not even close to knowing.
3. I'm in a worse situation, since its the same as your case, but I'm way older. Just wait till you are old enough.
4. You are immature, whether you believe me or not. You don't know everything, I don't either, but your parents are older and wiser, and they will know when you are mature enough to handle the peer pressure.
GL waiting, be a goody two shoes, and study.

Hello!! You're 12!!!!
Have you seen those billboards in Wal-Mart that display the missing and exploited children??? They don't want YOU up there!!!
Anyways, you're only 12. You're not supposed to have a boyfriend. They do know what's right and wrong...mostly.
The kidnapping while walking could happen. Watch America's Most Wanted and see how.
Your parents love you and still want to think of you as their little baby girl. Just ride with it and soon they'll give you lots of freedom.

You know...My oldest daughter when she was 14 used to say to me everyday. "Nothing is going to happen! Why do you worry so much?" and "Nothings going to happen."
So, one day I caved in and let her spend the night at a friends house. The next day I get a call from the hospital telling me that she was in full cardiac arrest and needed to get there now.
When I saw my daughter she was in full seizure. I just knew that was the last time I was going to see her.
The Dr's pulled us aside and told us that if she survives she will never be the same.
She lived and today with the help of an ICD she lives a normal life.
She never said "Nothing is going to happen." to me again.
We experienced a parents worst night mare. Something your folks don't ever want to go through. Now maybe, hopefully you understand their side.

WAIT A MINUTE!! your 12 not 18 or even 15.. i am with your parents and when you have kids one day you will understand. you are acting way to old for your age, they are worried about you having sex, doing drugs, drinking, and yes being kidnapped by the boogyman. step back and ask yourself if you were in their shoes and you had a daughter that was 12 would you? doing things that you described happen slowly at different ages.

You are still a little kid. What they are doing is just fine. I will not allow my kids to do ANYTHING by them selves until they are 16 years old. You will just have to live by their rules until you are 18 which is only 5 years from now. In most states it is illegal for you to be alone, let alone date. You are only 12 what in the world are you doing dating???? You are way to young. Just relax! Your parents are doing a great job.

Sounds like my parents LOL. Well today they gave me a break and gave me and my brother a chance to earn their trust. Well we did exactly what we were told: We got to ride our bikes all around our town... I know, we're lucky butts.... anyways, so now they trust us more. I think they aren't trusting you because of the way you reacted when they said no... telling them that nobody was gunna come out and start shooting them??? Man I'm sorry but that was stupid. Maybe you did something for them to be like that. I think you need to earn their trust somehow.
Best Wishes,
Bari
