How to make my parents less strict?

Asked by crzylorii about 1 year ago, 8 answers.

My parents treat me like im a little kid and I hate it. I have to pay for everyone elses mistakes and its not fair.my sis was on drugs and drank all hte time when she was my age, I never have, she also snuck out in hte middle of the night with guys and...

got caught all hte time by the cops, I never have,she also failed 3 calsses, I havent. But yet im hte one with all the freaking rules. My curfew is 10:30! Im 14! I do realize that thats not to extreme but it is when they just suddenly drop a bomb on you like that. 5th grade I was allowed to go out with friends and I had to be home by midnight. Im a freshman now and I have to be in by 10:30? Not to mention thats my curfew during the school year to, its summer they should lighten up. I cant have a cell phone and my allowance is ridiculous! I literally get 20 dollars a month. Not even reasonable. I dont get extra money for anything either, if I want to go out to dinner with friends, theyre response how are you paying for it?'' and I have to buy all my own clothes. I have none! I literally have on pair of jeans. It would take me 4 months to buy one pair if I got a cheap pair and thats if I dont go anywhere for those four months. Ughh, I swear id rather drop out and have fun then live here in jail.

the reason why your parents are strict in my opinion is they dont want you to turn out like your sister that is why they are being so strict with you, and have set strict rules.Maybe they where to relaxed with your sister and thats why she turned out the way they did so what ever istakes (if any) that your parents have made there trying to keep you from making the same mistakes. Try talking to your parents an tel them that your not going to turn out like your sister becasue you have learnt from her mistakes, act adult about it and they may start looseing up a little bit with you. good luck xx

Tell them the points you told us here - face to face or writing, so they know all your concerns - they were young once - see if there's a compromise...I wish you the best !!

I agree with sophie becasue they love you and they dont want you to turn out like your sister. I dont want to be mean bt it is the truth. Tell them you feel lke your being treated like a child. Im 15 and I was treated like a child until I talked tomy parents and they let loose...a lot and they let me kinda do whatever I want now but I have my chores adn church every sunday but, if I do the little things then I am aloud to come home at midnight and stuff like that ya know so just talk to your parents anddont be scared to talk to your parents about anyhting inlcuding being treated like an adult. 14 to me is pretty adult but not that much. You should be treated with more respect and even sometimes your mom should take you shopping, for clothes so you dont ahve to rely on yourself for home survival lol. May be ask her one day hey mom can me and you go shoppping and ease her into the idea they hey mom tis okat to buy me crap hoe it helps mwah

not to be a stereotype but, as asians, we have strict parents. But my parents is more strict than that. I can't sleepover, or get my driving license, or date until I'm 18. it's not fair. all the things I wanna do when I'm 16, I have to wait 2 years more than everyone else. I really need them to be less strict. I can't even get out of the house for fun more than once a week. I don't have a social life and playing the piano is all they care about. if I stop playing the piano, they'll take all my privliges away.

Really my parents are way stricter than yours. same as mayoanime my parents are ultra strict. I dont even get allowances. They acctually make me do math and reading outside of class and even in the summer. If I dont im pretty much grounded. you should be thankful for what you have.

Hey listen up...
I dont get paid, im not allowed to give my number to friends, im not allowed out at all and after school I have to be home straight away meaning I have to run to catch the first train home, im expected to have an arranged marriage, I cant hang out with friends, not allowed a boyfriend, if I have a guy friend- they get suspicious and makes sure I dont see them again, and im 14 just like u.

they give me hell...once mum hit me with a metal hanger because I wasnt listening to her...I wasnt even back answering.

everyone else can go anywhere alone, and do everything im not allowed. all they want me to do is get good marks...aka- nerd. thats one thing that hasnt happened yet...funny that I have reached the stage of not caring about anything because I cant do anything. I go all depressed like all the time. I ask nicely for some space and it never works. msn is the only thing im allowed. I have a net boyfriend though.

I'm 14 and my parents are pretty strict but what gets me pissed of is when my step sister visits my dad let's her do what ever the fk she wants shell stay up till 3am texting guys and I don't even have a PHONE plus she's 14 also I get straight a's and they don't even know what her grades are because she forges there sig plus she has a tattoo on her inner thigh they don't know about that one and I get grounded for 2months if I forget to take the trash out on trash days and the only reason my dad is nice to her is so she doesn't hate him and not visit him
