Why do my parents try to isolate me from friends and a social life?

You will see it in a good way only if you replace the word: ISOLATE with the world PROTECT. That is what my father did when I was in college. I was in my deep anger until someday, my former dad took me to a big mall on Saturday night. There we saw, I saw so many kinds of girls’ behaviours which according to our cultures and values were not good. I could see a girl seducing a man in a coffee bar. Then my dad said: That is what I am trying to protect you from….

But i’m doing really good in school and I’ve proved to my parents that I can earn their trust and they even brag about how good i’m doing with their friends but now that I still can’t even hang out friends or have a social life because I’m in indepedent studies, I’m just seeing it as isolation.

What I did was: I invited my friends to a small party at home, and asked their parents to pick them up. There I introduced my parents to my friends’ parents. This can not be done instantly, sweetie. You need a bit patient and count on the time. And later on, I asked my friend’s mother to invite me to their house…

Yeah i’ll probably do that so maybe i can let my parents meet my friends so that way they can let me come over their house when I’m bored. Thanks a lot.

Good Luck, Sweetheart! :-)
