Like going to the movies with my friends or going out with them. They think they have to know my every move. It is not fair. My Sister and my Brother gets away with it why can't I? I don't Understand. Is it because they want to protect me. There is such a think called over protective. And if I have to I'll find another way to go with my friends. I think that they should have boundries but not strict boundries where I can't even leave the house with out a body guard. Over Rated.

you're lucky you even have the option to ask. my parents have never let me go anywhere except school. it's just how i grew up and i don't understand why they do that. parents always think they know what's best for their kids but they don't. they are not you so they don't know how you feel. this is a different era so i think you should seriously call them out and be assertive about having a little freedom. if they see how serious you are about it, they might reconsider. state your case intelligently and don't whine or make a fuss. sound like you know hat you are talking about and give good reasons like "i need to experience the world" or something similar.

I guess that you never understand these things until you have kids of your own. I used to feel exactly the same way. My brother also got to do alot more and I am the oldest. I just wanted my family to stay out of what I considered my business. Well somewhere along the line I grew up and had children of my own. I swore I would not do the same things to my kids and imagine that I find myself being overprotective and my oldest who is 15 telling me that I don't have to know everything in his life...It is such a really bad world out there. It scares me to death! There is alot more badness out there now then ever before and it is so important as a parent to try and shield you from any heartache or trouble or pain that we can. I am sorry for the frustration it brings you but it is for sure in your best interest and I am sure you prob don't wanna believe me either but I can say that I really did not like my mom as a teen ager and she is my best friend today. I am also not real old and unable to understand because I am only 35 years old. Try to hang in there it gets better with time!

Your heart isn't the part with a brain, so listen to your parents until you're wise enough to make choices and decisions with your head. If you start sneaking around and lying to your parents, you'll prove that you can't be trusted and NEED to be overly protected. Show them your maturity by doing your chores and homework, not talking back, making good grades, participating in clubs and activities in school, helping around the house, and not having an attitude. Good luck.

Technically what they do is the best for you, most people just dont' realize it until years later, but the thing is that you should just be honest with your heart and do what you feel, besides, when your parents were kids, they didnt' have the opportunity like you to do all the things that you could do, so sometimes they think it's out of turn that you get to do all these things, use their house for free, and so on. As a nonlistening child myself, I just did whatever I wanted, but I realized their only grip on me was MONEY, once I made my own MONEY, they had no say in what I did.
