Answer 1

My mother would go through my car, purse and cell phone. She would always say if i pay for it then I can look through it. It got on my nerves soo bad but she isn't psycho she was just being over-protective and wanting to know everything. And since we live in a small town it made it worse.

Answer 2

Charlotte you are not alone in feeling that your parents are physco. I thought the same thing, I'm sure my parents felt the same and know that my kids felt the same way about me and their mother. It is all part of growing up and has been around probably since Eve gave birth to Cain and Able. They probably though we could have had it pretty good if that physco hadn't bitten that apple. Eventually when you have grown up you'll all be able to laugh about these events and feelings. But if you honestly feel that your privacy is perhaps being violated too much you have ever right to tell your folks to allow you to have some independence and not try and get their noses in all your business. You realize as well as I do that they are only doing what they think is right, but there are lots of times that we as parents are not right.

Considering some of the things going with our society it sounds like your parents are very concerned about you. They are being told with commercials, talk shows, new programs to monitor everything you are doing to be sure you aren't making mistakes that can affect your whole life. Or cause your death, parents are afraid these days, seemingly normal kids are dying or getting involved with things that will ruin their life. Be glad your parents care and I'm sure they will lighten up when they realize they aren't finding anything bad.

I know you do not want to hear this but they are trying to protect you. But, try talking to them RATIONALLY not out of anger, yelling or anything like that. Sit and calmly explain how you feel and maybe then they will give you some space. I have three teenagers 15, 16 and 18 so I can understand both sides of this situation.

Answer 5

Many times parents care for their children too much and unfortunately they show it in a wrong way and cause their teenage children to mistake their action and believe they are mean. Parents due to their caring and love, they always forget that their kids are no longer small but growing up to be young adults.

I hv made the mistake too. I cared for my son too much and showed it in a wrong way... he mistook my actions and thought i was the meanest mother on earth. Maybe mothers shld learn not to tie their kids to their apron strings and learn to trust them. It is my desire to be my son's good friend.. I am trying to but somehow it can never be easy for mothers to understand how their children's minds work.

One day you will be parents too and by then you will know that it is never easy to be an effective parent. Only then, you will be able to understand their role and appreciate them more.

My parents are fizko, too. My parents were mostly like that, I think it's normal. Though I didn't have a cell phone to text anyone. But they did always want to know who I was talking to, where I was going, and so on. One time I got in a lot of trouble because I went to the library without telling them. I always joke that I was the only kid who'd ever gotten in trouble for going to the library!

I think parents should know what's going on in their childrens' lives. It helps in preventing drug, alcohol, and sexual promiscuity problems. It is difficult, though, because you need more independence, and exposing your whole life feels like you aren't getting any independence. Who knows? Once you leave home, it isn't really a problem anymore. Just hang in there until then.

just a note for future reference: psycho

Answer 7

I expect to know almost everything my kids do.
Your parents just want to keep you safe.
In this day and age we parents have to worry about you kids getting hurt by strangers,drugs,alcohol, sex and a million other things.
Just be a good kid and don't give them too much trouble.They will eventually realize that you can make good choices. Keeping them informed of things in your life also helps.
Then they will relax a little bit.
Good Luck!!!

You have some great parents! Sure it might not seem like it because they want to know EVERYTHING, but I do the same with my kids. I want to know who he is with, whats going on in his life, who he is talking to. It's not that I dont trust him, but its part of caring and being a parent. Just chill out, your parents love you and they are just making sure you are going downt he right path. :)

All parents are psyco. Get used to it.

It is normal. At least they care about you.
