Strict Parents..Help!!?

Question

First of all,English is not my native language,so I can make some mistakes...=)
My parents are so strict and overprotective!They won't let me wear miniskirts,curl my hair,wear makeups,buy purses(they thinkpurses are useless),have a boyfriend, paint my nails,hang out with my friends at weekends,listen to music,and go shopping without them..And also,they are so religious!I think it's ok to be religious,but the problem is they say bad things about other religions.We live in the U.S and I think they should respect others' religion like many Americans do.They say bad things about Muslims, Buddhists, Catholics...And that makes me feel bad because I have many friends who's Muslim,Catholic,and Buddhist.When I tell them how I feel about their strict rules,they just criticize me,saying that children should do whatever their parents tell them becau-se the bible said so.Now I don't say anything about how I feel to avoid myself getting in trouble.Can you help me?=)
P.S I'm a teen... :-)

Thank you for answering my question!!:)
I'm Christian(Presbyterian).

Answer 1

first- your english sounds pretty good to me. second- i have to ask- what is your religion and where are you from? i would have thought you were muslim or pentacostal. not to be disrespecful but i know they can both be very strict religions. you don't say your age but i'm guessing that has a lot to do with this. i wish i could be of help to you. i think all you can do for now is bide your time and don't bring up things that you know will make them angry. hopefully, when you're a little older, you can pick your own religion and friends and your parents will loosen up some. try to be happy.

Answer 2

sit down with them when they're both in a good mood and tell them that you want to discuss some rules that they have. Don't scream or whine because they will think that you are immature, and they won't change any rules. Just let them know that you need more independence and responsibility. Prove to them that you are mature by doing things that weren't asked of you. You can also ask them why they won't let you paint your nails, listen to music, hang out with friends,etc, and explain to them why you should be allowed.
And about the whole religion thing, Let your parents know that you have friends from different cultures, and that they are all wonderful people, regardless of what relgion they are from. If your parents ever pick you up from school (or where ever you are with your friends) introduce them, so your parents will see how nice they are.
hope this made sense and helps! good luck:)

I on no account had a bedtime (I did have a curfew, nevertheless) and I have continuously been capable to observe something I desired and play any video games I desired. I, additionally, grew to become out beautiful darn well. But, a few of my peers, whose father and mother are a lot more strict than mine, did matters that I might on no account dream of doing. I feel the measure of freedom you provide a baby must rely at the baby him/herself. I have on no account performed medications/had an abortion/killed small animals, and so on. I feel that you'll provide the reigns a little bit slack and nonetheless lift healthful, good adjusted kids. It is principal to observe that the ones strict father and mother simply wish what's pleasant for his or her kids and they're protective them in any respect fees. An comprehensible perception as a mother or father even though I feel that there are larger methods to deliver it out. You WILL NOT preclude your baby from looking to sneak out of the condo, being someplace once they mentioned they're someplace else, or making dangerous offerings from time to time. Life is a finding out approach; kids of strict father and mother are going to have a get up name while they are trying to reside within the truly international on their possess.

You need to tell your parents that the Bible says we are all treated equallyand that if we believe in God that w despite what faith we follow then we all go to heaven.Then what will your parentsdo?For the time being you will just have to abide by the rules of your parents.Is there a counsellor you can talk to?

Answer 5

I had the same problem. I ignored my parents and let them know that i was mad. When they got mad i told them that treating me like this will only make me want to disobey them more. Tell them that you have morals and you dont mind rules but they are treating you badly and insulting other people. The bible says that all people were created equal and they need to respect other peoples beleifs. How would they feel if people talked about them like that?

Answer 6

i feel sorry for you.... I honestly don't think there's much you can do, because from my experience if both parents are really strict, no amount of convincing will change them. Just hang in there because when you're a bit older you'll (hopefully) be able to move out or something....

Answer 7

ok well just tell them how u feel. show them that they are over protective. other than that i don't know what u should do.

Answer 8
