its so *****n annoying ok i know its probably not best for a 16 year old girl to travel alone on buses n trains when its dark (as in 6.30 in the winter) but im 16 its gona be another year until i might actually have a car i dont think i cope another year of having not being able to travel when its dark. i live just outside london and yer bad stuff has happened not to far from where i live eg stabbings but how is my local area going to be any safer when im 18?? im an only child so that probably adds to the overprotectiveness but all my friends can travel alone in the evenings apart from me its so fustrating. does anyone else have overprotective dads?i cant wait till i move out!!!

You sound just like I did at your age! My parents were overprotective too, wouldn´t let me stay out past 10:30-11, wouldn´t let me go to parties, etc. It was really tough for me seeing that all my friends could do things that I couldn´t, but I went all out when I went to uni. For the first time I didn´t have a curfew and could do whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. If you want to go to uni you should apply to places that are far away where you´ll have to live in halls of residence, then you´ll get it all out of your system, believe me!

One next Sunday seat with your Dad and tell him following points.
1. Night has nothing to do with sexual abuse or stabbing. If you want to do something sexual (if it's his worry) you can close the curtains at some boy's place during day time and do it.
2. If he is worried about RAPE, people who are SICK keep doing rape on even 5 years old girl OR on a 60 years old lady !! So your 17 years old age is not a issue !!
3. You said that you are just a child !! Sweetheart, if you yourself will treat yourself as a child at 17 how can you convince your DAD that you are not a child and you want to move out in evenings?? Treat yourself as a bit grown up woman.....let them feel that you are not a child anymore and they will allow you.
4. Introduce your good friends at home and let them feel that if you are out with them, you are safe.....!!
Goodluck to you young woman...

Your dad isnt over-protective, he just loves you very much! My daughter is your age and I do the same thing. And trust me, you think you cant wait to move out and be on your own, but the world is a very visious place, and you should just enjoy being a kid while you can. Once your all grown up, you cant go back. You should go tell your dad that you love him for protecting you from the trash out on the streets!

Well at least you have a dad who if a rats *** about his daughter. To bad your friends parents do not feel the same about their kids. You are going to be thank ful you are alive when something happens to one of your friends when they are out and about doing who knows what with who knows who. Parents are responsible for their kids til they are 18. If you have to sufferwith a roof over your head, a computor to complain on, food, clothes, medical care, etc. because you dad is a REAL parent and not a non caring piece of ****. OH POOR YOU!

your a little kid. deal with it. Thats not overprotective. That's being protective.
Overprotective would benot letting you leave at all except for school and work.
it may not be safer when you are 18, but everywhere you go is your decision. Right now, it is his decision. He is your provider. He is in charge of you.

You are going to think back to this question in years to come and say to yourself 'What a stupid little child I was for saying such a thing'. This will be especially true when you yourself have a sixteen year old daughter and no grandfather to help you out. Shame on you...............

Yes, sometimes we find it difficult to let go. Especially with an only child. I would imagine an only child daugher is even worse.
Be glad he cares.
