Overprotective parents?

Invite your friends over your place as often as you can. Your parents will get the idea :)

I have the same problem.

Except my personal solution is to practically be a vegetable, until they get the idea of how much they’ve ruined me.

My parents were pretty over protective when I was growing up. Then again they still are to a point. I’m 21 years old and still have a curfew! I mean, SERIOUSLY?! You think it’s bad when you’re 17? Try being 21 and living at home. I finally rebelled and pretty much just do my own thing now, whether they like it or not. My parents made me wait until I was sixteen to let me get my ears pierced and I was about to start my freshman year of highschool before they even let me shave my legs! I mean, WTF? I had to finally sit down with them and tell them that I am 21 years old and can handle being out late with friends and doing my own thing.

I did rebel a lot because of the fact they told me I couldnt do a lot of stuff. I had my first tattoo by 18 and Added a new one each year since. I wear rock punk clothes, have a bunch of peircings, I listen to music that they hate but I love. It’s annoying that they still bother me about somethings like the curfew, but it’s gotten better since I’ve talked to them.

I know how you feel. even though MY parents have never been NEAR overprotective, but theres a girl in my neighborhood who got a phone and she can’t watch the news, or even go in the FRONT YARD BY HERSELF!! my parents would let me go to any of my friend’s houses’ whenever I want. so my theory for is to try to show them your responsibility. I know im a tween, but I still believe I can help you. you should have a talk with both of your parents about this, and tell them that this can’t go on. tell them that someday that someday you will be in te real world by yourself, and that they’re going to have to figure out that. hope this helps. :D

I am 17 and am not allowed out of my property without my mum knowing where I am going what time I will be back and who I will be with.Im seventeen but I am being forced to live the life of a five year old!

My mum wont let me go to parties and I am being strongly encouraged to stay at home all the time.

She talks to me every five minutes and constantly rings me when I am out of the house.

My grandparents live several houses down the street from us and regularly come up to clean my fifty three year old mothers house.She rings them everyday and tells them and the rest of the family all she knows about my life.She watches TV all day, has no friends and constantly talks bout my dad and my brother to me and what bad people they are.

I am on medication for reactional depression yet I still feel terrible as I dont have any kind of social life!!!
