How do I tell my parents to leave me alone?!

How do I tell my parents to leave me alone?! Im almost 14 years old. Ever since I turned 13 I have been really depressed and sad. I used to cut myself until my boyfriend made me stop (and Im very happy he did) and I wrote suicide poems in my books and I draw people hanging themselves on my walls in my room. One day my mom saw the cuts on my wrist and I told her they were cat scratches and I she believed me and then a week later she was looking through my books and saw everything I wrote and she told my dad and they both got really worried about me and then they started yelling at me. I told my mom I wanted therapy to see why im depressed but she just laughed at me and walked away. Now my mom and dad call me every five minutes to see where I am and who im with and what im buying and all that crap, so sometimes I put my phone on silence because we might be in a library and then they come and find me! They are WAY over pretective twards me and they cant even leave me home alone for 30 minutes. They have to interview my friends and my boyfriend for like an hour before we go anywhere and they need the address too. Im sick of them stalking me every minute. They call me and text me in school and then they get mad when I dont answer. Their so stupid. How do I tell my parents to back off?

Answer #1

you should tell them how you feel… like have a chat with them and tell them not to get over potective. Although… to be honest your the one who made it such a big deal for them… I mean its obviouse that they freaked out when they saw your poems… I mean if I was them I would completly be worried… anyways just as I said before try and talk to them and tell them that you are growing up and one day you will leave them and they wouldnt be calling 24-7 to see how you’re going.

Answer #2

thats normal! some 13 yr old cant even step out of the house or have a boyfriend, your lucky

Answer #3

Don’t be stupid and commit suicide, live life to the fullest and learn to be happy and appreciate what you have.

Answer #4

well you have given them a reason to be ‘over protective’ youre telling them you need professional help and cutting yourself…youre depressed they just care about you and thats what you have expressed that you are longing for

Answer #5

you can sit down and talk to them and tell them how you feel. Tell them that to heal all that deep thing you have inside of you you have to be given some indipendence and let you heal slowly alone bacause you are the only one that knows what is really inside you, also tell her that you werent kidding abou the councelor, to be able to overcome things like that, sometimes you have to have somebody by your side, let me know how it goes! GOOD LUCK!:)

Answer #6

your lucky you have parents, some kids don’t have parents and are often abused of abandoned so you should gain their trust they only want whats right for you. Don’t commit suicide

Answer #7

looks like you just need to prove to them that you are doing better. it’s there job to be overly cautious. sh*tt happens,life goes on. you just have to play the game to win…meaning,for a lil while just do whut they ask eventually they WILL give you your freedom backk. I know from experiance. when was 14-15 I had a major attitude…skipped school,ran away,did drugs & got myself into a whole lotta trouble. and cause of my actions & my temper I ended up in programs and almost made it to a group home,yeahh,I straightened out real quickk…and so should youu! =]

Answer #8

your parents are just making sure your alright.you would do the same in their position .you need to wake up and see life is too short to be angry all the time and you only have parents once .my mom often rings me when im out but I dont complained I just tell her the truth all the time and tell her I love her.u shouldnt tell your parents to back off .if you do that is just cold hearted .grow up a bit and stop being depressed for no reason.if the they do back off and something happens you who the one complaning then?still you when youve just been kidnapped

Answer #9

Yeah… they just care about you, I think I would be checking up on you if you wrote suicide poems!!! They care about you, why should they trust you? Life can’t be that bad. Stop being depressed for no reason. Seriously… wouldn’t you be worried if your kid was doing that?

Answer #10

You don’t… silly girl, how can you tell your parents to leave you alone after raising you all these years you ungreatfull litlle mug

Answer #11

y do you do that ???is life really that bad ??? your parents care and love you, and you want them to back off? how selfish is that? your parents love is unconditional.

life is to short to be angry and depressed

Answer #12

tell them exactly what you said on here, ask them to see a counselor again, and make sure you let them know it is very importune to u. If they don’t let you see a counselor then go to the one at school and ask for help. I hope things get better for u :D

Answer #13

they care bout u? would you rather have them hate you and abuse u??

Answer #14

ok first of all it isnt right for parents to laugh at their kids like that especially if your trying to help your self. second, you did what you did and dont feel bad or ashamed of it. because its too late to undo it and like people are saying lifes too short for regret. as for the counceling, thats a good thing to get. if your parents wont allow you to have it, thats not right. additionally theres nothing to be ashamed of it your going to a counciler, despite the bad reputation that they get you arnt crazy if you go to one. theres nothing wrong with you. if your parents wont let you, then go to your school counciler and explain to them the situation, and they will help you out. hope this is helpfull.
