My grandma and uncle doesn't seem to grasp the fact that I am old enough to make my own decisions. This friday I am supposed to be going with my best friend in the world Kayla to her moms house in North Carolina. We are supposed to stay until Sunday. My grandma said that I couldn't go. She doesn't get that I am old enough to choose where I want to go and where I don't want to go. I guess she thinks that because I am on disability for obesity, high blood pressure, arthritis, and dizzy spells that I shouldn't be able to do what I want to do when I want to do it. This isn't the first time this has happened. My mom has told her that it is unhealthy for me to stay at the house all the time. And I do believe that me staying at the house all the time like she wants me to is most of the cause of my rapid weight gain. It isn't because she cares and worries like she says. She just doesn't want me to have a life because she doesn't have one anymore.
So what should I do?

You haven't mentioned your age. Should you be of the legal age, a good heart to heart talk to your granny and uncle should do the trick. Some people really are SOOO protective of their loved ones that they may turn irrational. Its not that they don't want you to go. As earlier mentioned, its their love for you that prohibits them to. Talk to them and good luck.

Well you mentioned all the medical and valid reasons why they don't want you to go. They are concerned and fully worried not because they have no life. If you will probably go for a couple of hours around town maybe that would be acceptable.
Do something about your weight and among other health problem and you can enjoy life to the fullest.

i don't be attentive to if its a delicate difficulty for you yet, the place is your mom and pa? Do you have the different kin you are able to stay with like on your mothers part or your dads part? do you have different siblings?. you're kinfolk and could in no way be taken care of this way. exceptionally by your Grandmother. have you ever sat her down and asked her for a honest answer from her by asking her "why would not all people like me?" see what she has to declare. If it extremely isn't any longer a sturdy adequate answer then tell her that. tell her which you do no longer sense such as you slot in. If it would not resolve your difficulty and he or she would not look to care, talk to an outstanding pals mum and dad and that they could help you out. perhaps your Grandmother is getting financial counsel for protecting you and relies upon on that funds as long as you reside there. in the journey that your unhappy and it extremely is that poor, you are able to desire to communicate to somebody.

Dear, it is NOT that she does not want you to have a life. Believe me SHE still has one and just because she is now old (by your standards) she still has a life. You don't mention your age, only that you are overweight and a number of other problems. Sounds like there are TWO sides to this story and we are only getting YOURS. And, you are obviously allowed to use the computer, so our life cannot be all bad. Tell the truth. What is REALLY going on here?

How old are you? That makes a huge difference in whether they should let you go. Is your dizziness controlled?
If you are over 18, they may just have some concerns about you medically. If you are under 18 and live with them, then the rules are their rules and you have to just put up with it, like it or not.
