Parents are too controling- Never let me out of the house

Boy…this is a toughie…Since your grades are good, and obviously you don’t get into trouble (you don’t even go anywhere), there’s no real good reason I can see from what you’ve said, that you aren’t able to get out at least one night a week. I don’t know if this is how they treated your sister…or any background, so it’s hard to know what your parents are thinking (whatever it is, just know it makes sense to them)…

One thing you could do about the ball next year…is tell them now…’I’m going to my ball next year”…Course it’s hard to get a date if you don’t get a chance to socialize on the weekends…but you can take advantage of your time in school to cultivate friendships as much as you can.

It seems like a long time before you get to leave home…but it really isn’t…AND, once you’re out of the house, you are free for the rest of your life to be and do what you want to do.

Thanks, the problem is that I go to an all boys school, so finding someone at school is out of the question. I cant see how this is logical to my parents. I am going to grow up wishing I had a better childhood and teenage life.

Thanks for the reply. The problem is everytime I mention trying to find a girlfriend they keep yelling at me to stay focused om my studies, so if I say I need to go on a date theyll just laugh at me and say I cant go. That the problem, its as if they want me to suffer just because I am born. My sis though is my parents favourite. She went with her friends so my parents think its al right for her, but the embarrasing thing is my dad went for ‘parent assistance’. I have to say I have no life. I dont know how to deal with this.

so your 16 now ,tell them that your big enough to take care of your self ,I mean im 14 and all the places I go is at my mom friends house ,my grandmas house and my relatives and I acually boared of it ,tell them that your sister goes to the school ball why cant you ,when your friends zinvite u4 sth tell your parents that your going on a date ,oh ,and tell them that they can trust and then tell them what you told us on fun advice . glad to help ,your welcome any time but not tommorow because I have a test . bye
