Answer #3

I’m the older child, so my parents were kinda strict with what I did and was allowed to do, and now my sister is allowed to do whatever because they know she’ll be fine. It’s not fair but as soon as I hit senior year in high school they were very understanding, and vice versa. Be respectful to what your parents want, and try a way around it, like get a job that requires you to walk down the street, and when you ask to walk down the street to hang out, they may not mind as much because they know you’ll be alright. Also, I would take some advice from the person above me, they know what they’re talking about.

Most teenagers go through this very same thing. I am assuming your are the youngest child in the family. If so, maybe your parents are having a hard time letting you go and grow up. They love you and want to protect you. It may help to show them how responsible you can be. Maybe if they let you do one thing that you wanted, ie. walk home from school with your friends, you could show them that you can be responsible and make good decisions. Talking to them calmly about this will also show signs of maturity.

Answer #5

Growing up is very difficult—for both you and your parents. They remember a little bundle of joy that they held and nurtured as a baby and now they see a budding adult. These days, children face things and know about things that their parents would never have imagined at the same age. The teenagers of today look older, act older and want to be older than their counterparts did just 20 years ago. It is the desire of all parents for their children grow up in the way that they should go (loving, caring, respectful, and being of good solid character). It is necessary that you truly understand that your parents have your best interests at heart. They will withhold privileges, set limits, and raise you to the best of their ability (neither they nor you are perfect), but be Thankful - They Care - many, many, many don’t. Ask them for guidance and seek to understand what truly motivates their decisions. One of the best ways to prove your maturity and prove that you are ready for more trust is to be respectful of your parent’s wishes and accept their guidance. Learn how to communicate love, honor, and respect to each other.
