what he said. dont be in such a rush to do adult things. ur time will come trust me, and then u will wish u could go back to the 'good ol days' of not having much responsibility. maybe if u start acting a little mature, we wouldnt treat u like that. its part trust, part respect.

Well...grown-ups treat me like a grown-up because I act like one when I'm around them. I use proper grammar and if I'm writing I use capitals, punctuation, and make sure my words are spelled correctly (it's baby, not babie, for example). You shouldn't complain, or fight with them. Just accept that until you're 18 (in most cases) they're in charge. I also give them respect. I'm not saying I'm not a stupid teenager; however, I only act like one when I'm away from adults.
Teenagers who complain about being treated like kids tend to be treated like them more often. If you're mature enough to know not to complain, you'll be treated more like an adult. Therefore, stop complaining, grow up, and get some maturity if you want to be treated like a grown up.

sorry to say this, but most of your reply's are true. You need to act like an adult to be treated as one. When i was a teen, my parents acted the same way. i thought I knew what was best for myself, and hate to say, I was usually right. I felt as if, this is MY LIFE, and I would like to live it through EXPERIENCES, not through what my parents learned and told me. In order to turn my parents around the main thing i did was, before i would go to my parents with a question (can I go out tonight?, can my curfew be extended?, I want to hang out with this boy.... etc.) I would do some research. Come up with all the possible reasons on why they might say no, and come up with some logical explanations on why what they were saying was ridiculous. (For example: I want to hang out with a boy? Parents reasoning obscure but a definite no. I would simply say to them, "what, you question your parenting that much that you have to tell me no? You think that you raised me to go out and cause trouble for others or myself? I have better morals and values than that. Nothing bad is going to happen, and if you let me go this one time, I can prove that to you. Please, I am asking you as an adult here, just give me a little of your trust and respect and I will not let you down" Now the key is, really don't let them down!) Good Luck!

Because some parents are scared to let there children grow up. They don't want them too make the same mistakes that they made, so they think that they can protect them for ever. I believe all children should be able too see the wprld for what it really is, and learn too make the mistakes that life dishes out. Just remember as a perent that they should be there too pick up the pieces if needed.

It is scary to let your teenager grow up with all the stuff out there. You have no experience and we are trying to help you the best we know how to. Remember, kids don't come with an instruction book.
And as someone else said, you'll understand when you have a teenager! I know that doesn't help but it's true!!!

first of all you need to learn how to spell like a grown up. that was so hard to read. anyway im only 23 but i was never treated like a child. maybe you need to start acting more grown up and then your parents will treat you like one. Stop whinning and crying when you don't get what you want. Do your chores without being asked keep your grades up and don't always ask for things. that may help.

Because teens think that they know everything. That nothing can go wrong. They think they can drink and nothing wrong will happen, they can have sex and nothing wrong will happen. Teenagers are not treated as babies, they are treated as they prob should. My guess is that your prob only 13-14 years old, and you think you know it all. But you dont.

Well I don't have teens yet, but I can speak from experience. When I was a teen I thought I knew what was best for me, but in truth, my mom was always right in the end. Listen to your parents! They know what there talking about.

simple... the more you grow up the more we have to let go and it's very hard to do.... it's called love.... not only that, but we remember the mistakes we made when we were teens and were scared to death that you'll do the same
