I have no freedom

well im 15 and in high school and its natural to hear people always talking about going to the mall, movies, and parties. I would do anything to have the freedom to do all of that because my parents dont trust me, and even if I did they wouldnt let me go out wit friends. All I do everyday and every weekend is stay at home or go out ALWAYS wit ma parents and little brother…everytime I ask to go out they always say that I should stay at home with the family and just give me a speech about how they always went out with their family when they were young. UGHHH I sware I wish I could just sneek out or something…wut should I do???

aw, im so sorry to hear that! I comepletely understand, I’ve been in the same situation when I’ve been grounded. here are some things you should follow:

  1. never let anyone else’s social lives affect you, even though you may be jealous, it will only drag you down
  2. know that you will have the best time of your life when you turn 18, then you can leave when you want
  3. sneak out only if you know that there is a 100% of not getting caught, if not, don’t do it.
  4. this will help you to appreciate every happy moment in your life later on
  5. know that your parents think this is best for you, even though you know its not

if you sit down and have a conversation with them, and negotiate (not argue), you can get your way. Theres ALWAYS a way to get something. Make strong points, use good examples when negotiating your point of view. Let your parents see how this makes you feel. I really hope you gain freedom, I totally sympathize with you. Its like your stuck in a prison and everyone else is a free bird. Good Luck:)

Answer #2

foxxy18146’s advice is okay except for #3.

Don’t go sneaking out whether or not you are 100% sure of not getting caught. It will only make you disrespect yourself for “lying” to your folks and not being worthy of their trust.

Maybe you could find a time to sit down and talk WITH your folks about the situation and the fact that you need to be able to spend some time with your friends. Explain that you are willing to abide by their wishes but that you hope they will start trusting you more and let you expand your activities a little.

Answer #3

Wel don’t sneak out!!! Just try to make them trust you. Im 14 and my parents let me go out.
