Overprotective parents

When I was younger my parents were the same way, and I hated it and didnt understand at all. Now I’m 24 and completely understand why they acted that way, and Im so glad that they did. I look back on the things I wanted to do or thought were good ideas because at 14 somethings seem like good ideas, and they really arent. Trust that they know what they are doing. You arent missing out on anything, when you are older …all those same things things you want to do will be there, and most of them wont even appeal to you anymore. Why would you want to go out to a club at 14 years old? Hang out with your friends, have fun, leave the clubs for when you are 18 and older and can make better judgements…all the people that I knew that had all the freedom that they wanted..that I was so jealous of…barely finished high school or never went to college, and had kids before 18 or so or got some weird STD or raped and some other crazy situation…now they will never get to experience things the way I can..with the lack of responsibilty of kids and such…because I was made to wait..and my parents were strict… trust your parents.. dont sneak out..it just shows them they need to act as strict as they are..because you are still a baby..and cant follow rules.. to try and get them to let you see your friends …just talk to them…tell them you undertstand their concerns..and maybe come up with a plan that you can both be happy with.

I can understand your parents point of view, they’re only doing what they think is right for you. The world is a very scary place, crime knows no age, race or sex. It isn’t hard for a kid to get abducted right off the street, your parents are smart enough to know that. At your age, yes, you should be able to go out with your friends, but you and your parents should have some kind guidelines for you going out. If you abide by their guidelines and earn their trust and show them you can be responsible, then maybe you can ask them for a little more breathing room and ask about sleepovers and such.

I’m 24 years old and I STILL tell my parents where I’m going and who I’m out with. I call them when I get where I’m going. Not because they asked me to, but because I want to, they’re still my parents. Just talk to them and see where it takes you.

Above all, do not rebel against them. If they tell you that you can’t do something, don’t do it anyway to try to be cool and impress your friends. It isn’t cool at all, it’s reckless, selfish and not worth the crap your parents will give you, and it’s not worth the pain you could put them through if god forbid something happened.

Good luck with your parents.

well I have the same problem. I just do it any ways. I know its wrong but what the heck.you might as well have fun while you on this earth. you might just have to say im not a lil kid any more.

make sure any opportunity you have for them to trust you keep your end of the deal. looks like one screw up and its over. that sucks but they do love you and don’t want anything to happen to you. you are only 14. you will eventually need to make some decisions of your own. they need to give you a chance to do that so they can build their trust in you. Talk with them and make some rules. ADHERE to them all the way or else they won’t think you are responsible enough to accept the responsibility. Communication is key my friend! talk with them about other stuff too. show them you want them in your life and how you feel you can confide in them then they will be more likely to know you are honest with them too. maybe thats what they are afraid of, is you not being honest about where you are going or who you are going with? If you want it, you gotta prove it to them you can. :) good luck with the parents!!!

they are only over protective because they love you but you should try talking to them im sure you will work something out good luck

man that’s carzyzy my parens were like that and I talk to them and wrote a story about im merture my parents finaley gave me some free dum ya but have a serrouse talk with them a calm one k oh ya good luck

they are probably scared that you might be with the wrong group of friends… And their are a lot of teens your age getting pregnant and getting into trouble… I dont have that probalem because all my friends are good friends and we are actually allowed to run around all day no questions asked… But yah she has the right to do that because maybe your to young to be trusted.

Your parents are probably concerned about you and your safety. The world isn’t exactly the safest place on the streets anymore. 14 is a little young to be roaming off and going to clubs, but you should have freedom of going out with friends at least. Tell your parents about this issue and maybe work out a solution, like planning, you should show them you’re responsible. So perhaps you could tell them you’ll be home by a certain time and make sure you meet it, so they can trust you more? I honestly don’t know your parents, but whatever they decide its the best for you. =)

have a very very serious talk with them!!!
