well, i think it's a Natural instinct for parents to want to protect their children, even when they feel/know they're Over Protecting... my parents were like that too... i guess there's pros and cons with protecting and Not protecting--haven't you Heard that children are parents' Responsibility UNTIL the child is grown up??? that's why they wouldn't want you to get into trouble or else they'ld blame themselves for it... When you become a parent yourself, you'll Realize the importance of what your parents are doing now... perhaps when you start having children than you'll appreciate your parents more...
well, underneath all these, you DO have self-acceptance issues and it's possibly a part of the growing up process--Growing Pains. when you become an adult, you have to make your decisions AND be responsible for your decisions. it's No easy task. demands courage and self-discipline :)

You won't ever understand until you are old and have kids. How cliche is that? Well, it's true :)
I'm 22, I had my first daughter at 21 and I can barely stand being away from her, because all I do is worry when she's away.
There is a lot for us to worry about now a days...
For example, 4 people died in a drunk driving crash: a 14-year-old, a 15-year-old, a 17-years-old, and another 14-year-old. All dead.
Stupid stuff like that happens all of the time. Can you really blame your parents for worrying? Sure, you might be smart with a good head on your shoulder, but who knows about your friends? Your friend might be high and you might not notice until you're already on the highway, going over the posted speed limit.
Learn some respect... They do it for a reason. It's their job to protect you. If they say no, pick up a new hoby or find something else to do instead.

this is gonna sound like bull coming from someone my age but I am here to tell you,when I was 15 I so knew EVERYTHING. There wasn't anything my mom or dad could tell me. At 17 I got married. In my "adult" mind I felt this was getting me away from all the rules and I could do what ever I wanted. Boy was I wrong!!! Growing up is hard, but being an adult is alot harder. Your parents are just trying to keep you safe as long as they can because they have been where you are, believe it or not they were young once too. They love you and want to see you happy. Take advantage of it while you can. Don't look at them like they are stupid, and listen, and don't get smart with them when you want to talk to them, and I'll bet they will listen to you.

I can't wait until you grow up and have your own children. You will be eating those words.
Parents do what they do to keep children like you from getting into situations that they are too young to know how to handle. You think you know everything right now. When you are mature, you will realize just how much adults learn everyday. Children learn a great deal more everyday. If your parents did not care about you, they would not waste the time and effort to worry about what you are doing!! I hope you don't think that they actually sit up at night and think of ways to make your life miserable!

If i replaced into your determine, i would not show you how to date the two. i'm able to declare that merely by capacity of analyzing your question. You sound like a sprint naive lady with raging hormones & you may no longer make your guy or woman decision. that's what mothers and fathers & the regulation is for. by capacity of ways, i peeked at your profile. this is particularly a shaggy dog tale. Get an coaching. i actually had greater experience at 13. Have an outstanding day!

That's not a question technically, but the reason some parents end up keeping their kids from going out or anything is because they don't want us to do the same things that they did at our age. But the problem is either way we're going to go through the exact same things they went through, they can either learn to accept the fact or risk losing their kids to addiction and rebellion.

its so much $hit going on in the world, parents are scared. children cant go no where with out some pervert trying to kid nap you. They not being mean they are being protective and loving. Kids are also on all kinds of drugs, so thats why they may dont want you hanging out with certain friends.

Seems like your parents know what they're doing. They want you to spend your time studying your grammar and spelling. Apparently you're going to be staying home more - better get your dictionary out.
