im 13 years old, and my parents don't give me aany freedom. im not allowed to go with my friends somewhere after school, or even go home by myself although i live very close to mi school. I kno that there are many sick people who could kidnap me and stuff, but i am with a BIG group of kids, at least 12 people! Whenever i ask mi parents if i can go somewhere, they laugh and say no. if i ask why, they get irritated and i get in trouble! when i ask only mi dad about it, all he says is, "take karate lessons and u can go." I find that very unfair because i went to karate for 6 months bcuz he promised that if i go i can go places with mi friends. It never happened; i spent 6 months in karate class, and he still didnt let me! im sick of this! i live about 15 mins away from school, and i stilll cant go home by myself! My dad is always late to pick me up from school by a minimum of 20 minutes...and by that time, i could have been home myself!
mi parents hav trusted me but still i hav dis prob.

I'm 38 years old. But oh do I remember being 13. Let me tell you what I wish my parents had told me.
Everything that you want to do whether it be good or bad. Your parents have all ready done. I guarantee it. They are probrably around my age and I know what I tried to get away with at 13.My parents were tough on me too. But later after I had children( a daughter you rage) I relaized that they were just afraid for you.
Things are alot rougher for you kids now than they were when they were your age. I know you hate it. I did. Thought my dad hated me! But he loved me and wanted to protect me from the bad things that could happen. You may not see the danger around the corner but they have already been there and done that. Be patient with them. I promise the older you get they more freedom they will give you. Just remember, with more freedom, comes more responsibility.

no..
remember that they want what's best for you. >.> even with a group of 12 people, what if a group of 20 came and tried to beat you all up? defenless then eh?
i'm not allowed to do the same and i'm 13 too. i hang out with a group of 5.. but a group of 8 when im at the park with my friends.
rarely anything bad ever happens, but my mom still wont let me go.
i have to SNEAK and then lie to her afterschool.. tehe.

you're only 13, i don't think your parents have a trust issue, it's just that they want to protect you and keep you safe as long as they can. no harm in that. be patient you will have your freedom soon.
