Why wont my dad let me have a social life?
I could understand why my dad wouldnt let me do things when I was younger but now Im older and I understand more things I don’t see why Im not allowed to do things with my friends.
According to your profile you are sixteen years old. You are at an age where your parents are worrying about your safety. At sixteen (and even younger…) Teenagers become curious and often get involved with alcohol, drugs, sex, bullying, parties etc. It is a delicate time in your life and your father is most probably looking out for you.
You could sit down with him and ask, why he is being so restricting. Be adult about it, and don’t get into a fight or argument as that will make things worse and he will shut down and say no to everything.
You could start by just going to a friend’s house and out to a movie or something small. When you get home, be happy and tell him all about it. He will want to be involved and feel like he knows what you are doing. Give him the opportunity to meet some parents. It can be embarrassing, but it will help you get out more when your dad knows the parents of the friend’s house you are going to.
The main ting is that you tell him things. Don’t shut him out or he will become paranoid about what you are doing. You don’t have to tell him EVERYTHING, just tell him about stuff and make sure he knows you are being good and just having fun.
You should talk to him. tell him that you feel like he is not letting you have a life and you’re old enough to go out with your friends. if that doesn’t work, this is going sound weird or childish, but it will help, go to your school’s guidince counseler. they are really annoying but they can help and can convince you and your dad to let you go out and have fun.
when you become a parent you will understand why your dad is strict. at the momen you want to live your life and do what you want, but your dad has experienced more than you have, he will be strict, every parent is, my mum is and I am 18 and I cant go clubbing or go out at night, when youre older you will understand, but if he goes to extrems with what he does and does nt let you do then sit and talk, dont yell or scream, and be prepared to make comprimises too
