I need help with my parents

Okay I need serious help. I am thirteen years old and my parents dont let me do anything. I understand that there is a lot of bad things and the world we live in is dangerous but I hate this. My mom asked me if I wanted to go to thee movies with my boyfriend? And I said of course and she said okay but your sister has to go. My sister is 18 btw. And I hate it, I do independent study so I dont get to do much. They wont let me talk on thee phone unless it is to my boyfriend and I feel like my parents are trying to ruin my life. They tell me I can only talk to my boyfriend for 30 minutes but when I talk to him for like 2 hrs a night then they yell sometimes. I dont know what to do and please do not tell me to talk to them about it I have tried and they say thee world is dangerous and blah blah blah.. How do I get them to let me do stuff?! Please help asap

Answer #1

You are 13 and female - Sounds to me like they’re doing their job - being parents - looking after your best interests - loving you - and especially, Caring ! - many, many, don’t - Be Thankful.

Answer #2

girl, im not much older than you (15), but trust me I’ve been where you are. I wasn’t aloud to go outside of my house alone at the age of 13. your parents are just trying to care for you and keep you from all the evil things in this crazy world we all love in. dont listen to these people saying to lie, and go behind their backs, and not to follow their rules… that will get you into too much trouble. I got so mad at my parents rules, that I rebelled against them, and did everything wrong, and I regret every last minute, it took a terrible thing (my mom almost died from liver failure) for me to notice how lucky I was to have my parents. so be smart, and just show them how responsible you are now by following their rules. the more that they can trust you, the more they let you do. I learned that the hard way, and dont forget that its easier to lose trust than to gain it. but now im aloud to go on group dates with my friends, and do things alone. it just takes time.

Answer #3

you should try to bring a best friend over and have her meet your parents and get your parents to trust her and then say when you want to go out with your boyfriend say you are going with your friend and if you dont like lieing to them then say you want to go with you boyfriend and your friend and just get your friend to keep a distans when you are going out

Answer #4

sorry but beeing a little rude is the only way =/ talking from personal experience just do what you you want and dont listen to them and if they try to punish you ignore them after a while thele just get used to it. sorry I had to say it so flat out

Answer #5

You need to sit them down and have a non-emotional conversation with them, telling them that you’re independent and are able to stand alone.

Answer #6

dont b rude or anything, but tell them that you know there are a lot of dangers and stuff, and that keeping you away from everything wont help when you move out. if that dont work, id do more stuff that I wanted no matter what they said, but not if you get in too much trouble

Answer #7

yea I kinda get what you mean..lol..sh*t..like I think ihave it worse than you do! I cant even talk on the freakin phone without my mom listening on to the other line, and thats than im effin 17!!!…all I can say is try to prove dem wrong by your actions..and well your still a lil person (I said that instead of kid so it wont sound bad to you) bc your thirteen so your parents are probably scared that somethin gmight happen to you bc your barley startin to live and experimient stuff..learning new things…they just still see you as their little baby and havent, well more like realized that your growin up! but soon they’ll have to face it..so try not to sweat it…just think certain people have it worse!! (like me for instance, lol..)

Answer #8

show them that your responsable

Answer #9

well, you know your parents are trying to keep you safe. which is good. but they’re sheltering you too much. they need to know that your growing up and soon enough you’ll be out on your own and if you don’t experience anything, even pain, you’ll be totally unprepared for life outside home you should seriously, sit down and have a mature conversation with your parents about this you’ll be too vulnerable if you don’t experience the real world yeah they’re looking for your best interest but it will end up with consequences tell them you understand they’re point of view and back up your arguments strongly good luck, I know what its like to live in a cage.
