I really need help.

I have 7 older brothers. who are all EXTREMLY protective. I have no sisters, only brothers who are all older. they never let me date, I have tried talking to them, being nice mean, anything just wont work. I know I should feel lucky to have them but it never has helped me. I am living with only them for a month cause my parents are in Europe, and we didnt want to go. I thought it would be fine, but it’s not. I don’t care who they date they do whatever the hell they want. and they won’t even let me go on any dates, parties. or anything. I don’t know if I am out of my league asking for advice on this but if there is anyway you could help me thank you so so much! oh and I am 15 they are 15(twin) 16 16 )twin 17 18 19 20 22 . thank you. Chelsea.

IT REALLY DOES STUCK BEING THE ONLY GIRL IN MY SMALL FAMILY AND THOUSANDS OF BOY COUSINS IN MY LARGE FAMILY. SORRY I COULDNT HELP.

Answer #3

u have to get closer to them or “1”of them ,then talk to him about your opinion , know what his opinion and tell him that what they are doing is wrong .(if you r a straight person , wont do bad thing , you care about your reputation and can be trusted so you r right ).Try try until they understand u, dont stop.They are your brothers you cant do anything else. Forget about doing things they dont like because you will regret it later.

Answer #4

Apparently they are trying to keep you safe and even though they have their best intentions it’s driving you crazy.

Did your parents put the boys in charge? If so, they may be taking their role to the extreme.

Try talking to the one you think is most reasonable and letting him know how you feel. If that doesn’t work, then perhaps you should just try and tough it out for the month until your parents get back (or can you talk to your parents about this?)
