Answer 1

my parents were like that, gets better as you get older trust me!

Answer 2

Hmm.. Well I'm 20 years old and I just went thru crap like this..so let me tell you what's up. Why didn't you write down what you wanted to buy??? It probably is something that your mom thinks is not good for you in anyway..meaning.. you either just don't need it or it's something stupid.

Anyways, I'm not taking your mom's side because that would make you hate me... not like I personally care, but, your mom could be a biznatch too and I could be wrong...so I don't want to be wrong.

The point is that most parents are just looking out for you and most teenagers don't give a flying rat's lower appendage and they just take it all for granted. Then when the time comes and they say... "I'm freeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" they try to get their own apartment and car and all these bills stack up and they can't handle it.

Then the boyfriend that they moved out with cheats on them and kicks them to the curb. So now they are living on the streets smoking bowls of crank trying to get around by selling themselves for 5 dollars a "job". Sad life. You know what those prostitutes are thinking?? The ones that you see on the corners sometimes???

They are thinking.. "Damn, I wish I didn't get mad at my mom for not letting me buy that stupid thing I wanted....I guess I really didn't need that *********!!!"

Answer 3

Your mom is responsible for your stuff until you are grown up, that's why she won't let you use your money if she thinks it's a bad idea. She's using her own judgment, which she has to, and her judgment disagrees with yours.
That's why parents are so annoying. You're growing up and want try your own judgment but your parents have more experience and want to keep you from mistakes.
I know you're not annoying, I can see by your attitude that you take all points of view into consideration and express your ideas in a mature manner.
You will find by the time you are 21 that your parents will know a lot more than they do now.

Answer 4

You find your parents annoying because you (as a teenager) are struggling to establish your own independence while your parents still see you as a child.

Now... this is the part you won't like. I'm not going to address this specific issue because I don't know what you wanted to buy that your parents vetoed. However, although it's terribly annoying to hear, your parents most likely do have your best interests at heart, and as adults have more experience with life than you do.

Rest assured, you are NOT alone in this. I think most (if not all) teenagers feel this way at SOME point, and us ucky adults do remember what it's like as well.

Best of luck, honey!

Answer 5

Well what did you want to buy? As you get older your parents will make more sense to ya. I'm sure she doesn't hate you and being the oldest is tough sometimes. If it's something you really want try talking to your mom camly about it w/out yelling or getting upset. Tell her you'll work extra chores if she lets you have what you want. Show her that your responsible and she might let you get it.

Oh and fyi, turning 16 doesn't set you free. Rememeber you not legally an adult til 18.

Answer 6

I know it seems like the end of the world, but its not. Your parents were probably trying to protect you from making a bad decision with your money, which would mean they do like you and care about you and your future. You may not see it this way, but believe it our not, your parents know a little bit more about life than you do. Why do you think you're going to be free when you turn 16? Are you going to join the circus? When you have kids, you will probably look back on this day and laugh.

Answer 7

We don't think the way our parents do. Sometimes it's hard for them to understand us, as they think about what is best for you, instead of what you want.
You'll never really be free from your parents; they play a very important part of your life. When you are an adult and have your own kids you might find that they will have the same problems.
The best thing to do is to talk to your parents about how you feel. Maybe they don't know that you find them annoying at times. Once you tell them they will probably try to stop whatever it is that is annoying. Sometimes you will just have to endure it and remember that they are different from you and do not think the same way as you do.

Answer 8

Well what were you going to buy? Yeah, it's your money but it was probably something not good. Don't argue so much with your parents, your gonna be living with them for a while. 16 and free, I've never heard that. The little ones are the ones who always need more attention, don't worry, they do love you.

Answer 9

This is a familliar song honey,you are not alone. I used to sing the same song too.Parents often think they know everything and that they are right most of the time.So often times their views kind of contradict with ours.However parents have flaws and remember, you can't teach an "old dog new tricks".So accept them for who they are and don't try to change them.If you can do these it will help you to feel less angry towards them.I'm sorry you feel no one loves you but I believe they do and even if they don't remember I love you.

Answer 10

actually you won't be free until you are 18. and don't be in such a rush to be "free" it's a dog eat dog world out there. Enjoy the overprotectiveness while you can. Your little sister is.. little, that's why it seems they are favoring her. Nothing personal against you. She needs more help and guidance than you do and smaller things (people included) are just cute! Your mom was only looking out for your best interest. Sounds like she doesn't want you to waste your money. You'll understand as you get older.

Answer 11

I am sorry you think your mom is being mean to you today.
I, as a mother, have done the same thing to my kids.
We have a responsibility & job as parents to help you to make wise decisions in life~ that includes money management.
She does not expect you to understand. It is out of your capacity to do so.
You will understand when you become a little older.

Show your mother that you want to spend your money responsibly & she may give you more freedom to do so.
