AH! then today she said she was going to SLAP me across the face!

Answer #1

I’m so sorry you’re going through this but, your parents are trying to keep you safe by treating you like a 6 year old. They don’t want to see you hurt. As far as going to bed early, I think in a way that’s good since you’ll get plenty of sleep for school. I personally don’t like coffee since it can be very addicting. I don’t blame your mother for that. My parents treated me like a little kid when I was 14 and I’ll tell you, I sure didn’t like that too well but, that was the only way they could keep me safe. You just have to deal with that until you’re 18. And, when you turn 18, you’ll be allot happier. I don’t agree with your mother slapping you in the face. If you did something wrong, then she might think you asked for it. But, if you didn’t do anything wrong, I don’t think slapping you in the face is nessisary. Sweetie, I know your situation since I was in your shoes. I moved out now so, when you get to that point, then you can be free! Your parents will let go of this eventually since right now they still think you’re still a little kid. I wish you luck, and, may heavenly father touch your heart, comfort, counsel, and heal you. Pray first thing in the morning, during your meals, and at night. Thank Heavenly father for the many blessings. And, bless your parents. They love and care for you. Be greatful you have parents since allot of children in this world don’t have parents to keep them safe. You’re in my prayers.

Answer #3

you’re a little baby, little babys need to be watched all the times or you might stick a penny in a light socket and die

Answer #4

I edited this question - calm down on the swear words because its not going to make people want to help you.

Answer #5

Calm down… they’re just doing that stuff cause they care about you. She loves you and wants to keep you safe, is that so bad? Do you know how many millions of kids wish their parents cared that much?

Answer #6

It’s ok…they treat you like that because they care for you… I hate it when they treat my like that too! My parents hurt me..well at least my dad does… he hits me with a belt…but afterward they just stop

Answer #7

You’re a teenager, you’re not supposed to like what they do but you need to understand that you are still a child and they are not letting you do things because they are trying to keep you safe. Maybe she said she was going to slap you because you deserved it. Responsible and mature people do not come on here saying “I fuc*ing hate parents”. How mature does that really sound to you?

What it comes down to is until you are 18 and living on your own your parents are responsible for you. They are responsible for keeping you safe. This is your parents way of doing it.

Answer #8

Okay, if your mom let you drink coffee, this is what would happen. You would drink it too often, get addicted to caffeine, and then every time you don’t have any, you’ll get migraines. Trust me, I know. And about the going to bed early… that’s a GOOD thing. When you’re a bit older, and have so much homework you have to stay up til 2am doing it, you’ll wish you could go to bed that early. I’m 16 and I go to bed at 9. What’s wrong with that?

Answer #9

I agree w/ ally xo. I mean! your really not mature!

Answer #10
