mmmmkay so heres my problem. Im 15 and im a sophmore. As of last week my parents have been structuring me like crazy. Im not just talking about school work, but that is the main thing. I have to show them my planner and my homework everyday and even though we have an A-Day B-Day schedule in school, I have to do my homework the night its assigned. Also i have to organize my books every weekend. They have set bedtimes and have given me "the privilige" of reading for thirty minutes before i go to bed. I always used to listen to my mp3 player to help me to go to sleep and they were always ok with that until recently. Also I have been wearing earplugs to sleep because my puppy barks in the middle of the night but i cant do that now either. I know they are trying to help and they are real good parents but recently all i have been getting are weird rules and stupid looks. They were never this into everything I do but now they all of a sudden are in every part of everything I do. Please help!

thanks, guys, your helping, you really are. Someone pointed out that i might be leaving something out. Yes I am, and I wanted to put it in the regular details section but i couldnt fit it in there. So last year, i did kinda bring home bad grades, but only in algebra and occasionally in french. But both teachers were kind of lacking help if you know what im saying. But at the end of the year i brought up my grades BY MYSELF. So I dont understand their thinking. Plus, last year I was just, you know, figuring out the school and what its like to be in high school. I dont know if that holds anything but its the honest truth. Also my dad has been talking to me about how i have to bring my grades up when I havent done anything to make my grades bad this early in the year.

First of all, ask them why.
& you deserve a better reason than just "WE TOLD YOU SO."
In your freshman year, did you have a really bad start? Bad grades? Bad behavior? If so, this might be why. They want you to get better. They know you can.

I am sorry you are having a difficult time being monitored but if you were a parent you would understand. Someday you will look back and truly appreciate that you have parents who care. So many on this site have mean or uncaring parents. Be patient and when your first grades come in, I bet they will relax a little. So far they are worried and so you will simply have to do their wishes. Ask them why you cannot wear ear plugs however to stop the noise explaining that you need a good nights sleep to get grades. Be very polite and courteous, if you have spare time, ask to help and when you discuss your needs with them, be mature and calm. This will impress them that you are becoming more adult and things will improve. this is the most important time of your life to get channeled into a good college and then career which will decide whether you are going to live in poverty or not and they are trying to help so be thankful and go give them a big hug when you can.

I'm now not all that controlling, but if my young adults have been babies I used to be very strict. As they acquired older they acquired extra privileges. Now that they're 15 and nearly 17, I can actually say, they have bent a couple of regulations, however they have in no way lied to me. I have given them privateness ( I suppose I've stepped foot in both in their rooms perhaps 6 instances ago three years) they usually inform me the whole lot. I do not hassle them approximately their grades or journey them approximately their homework and they're getting A's and B's in Honors categories. I believe them to do the proper matters, due to the fact that I recognise I've raised them effectively. They are potent younger females and I'm proud to be their mom. My mom and dad have been unbelievably strict (navy inspection and room toss, someone?) and I used to be depressing...I additionally sneaked round and did horrendous matters at the back of their backs. I discovered from my mom and dad what NOT to do!

That is a good thing believe it or not. Some kids have the kind of parents that dont care at all. If you do good maybe they will relax a little. Try to keep your grades up and not talk back and hopefully it will get better.

I wonder if the entire story is being heard here? Did you put your parents through hell in your freshman year by bringing home bad grades?
I suggest you present a contract to your parents, which says as long as you maintain a certain level of grades, you'll get to manage your own time.

It's kind of obvious that your parents have been watching the news. They are just making sure that you are on the right track. Just communicate with them. Ask them why are things different now. Lately, kids have been in these packs where they have been killing themselves. And, the parents didn't have any idea. They are just being concern parents. Things will get better.

I think that they are realizing that you are getting older and they really dont want you to. Another thing is that parents starting getting like that once tennagers turn around 14-15. Mine did. talk to them about it and ask why you cant do stuff like that anymore but be respectful or you might get in trouble.
