How do I stop my parents from being so over-protective?

prove to them that your fine when your out for example text them where your going, be back on time every time. worked with my parents :)

at 14 your still a bit young, and while you might be more responsible than a lot of other 14 year olds, your parents still see you as there baby, and they protect ou because they love and care for you. doing things like telling them exactly wree your going, when youll be back and comming back at that time can help. also if theres any tasks that require soem responsibility (carring for a neihbours dog, babysitting, ect) take it and proove to them that your responsible and capable of taking care of yourself and soemthing else. if they ont let you out alone, take freinds with you, mums are more likley to let you out if theres a group of you and theres an older person with you. it might kind of suck now but you just need to deal with it untill your about 15-16

Gain there trust - maybe talk to them and tell them that your old enough to do stuff and try to tell them how you feel. Give them examples of why - and show them that your responsible enough

you could try to show them that they can trust you by doing verything they want you to do around the houseand stuff

If a parent is over protective, there is really nothing the child can do to make them stop being over protective, that is just how they are. Most of the time, you will have to just wait until you are old enough to actually do things without their permission. Sometimes family counseling helps, if the family is willing to participate. Also, you could gain their trust, and show them you are responsible, but that doesn’t always work. Sometimes that’s how they are, and there is nothing you can do about it.

Grow older. They’ll stop being overprotective with time.

please, when you find a way, TELL MEEEE!!!!

I believe by talking to your mom about it than letting your mom talk to your dad might help the stress of them being over protective.

The truth of the matter here is not one you want to hear: there is nothing you can do!

If you are the responsible, mature teenager you say you are–simply live that way and be that way. Your mom can only convince herself so long you are not trustworthy. Eventually your nature will win out this argument over time. In the end, it’s only 4 short years until you are 18 and then her grip on you will be gone.

You will gain more freedom as you get closer to 16 and work and start driving and setting yourself up to become an adult and you will start to feel better then.

I grew up with very little freedom as well and looking back, I can tell you that there is nothing you can do. Just bide your time, continue being a responsible person and know that your mother does this because she’s scared. Over-protective parents don’t ever ever ever want to see their child get hurt–to the extent that they rule over them with an iron fist. It’s a sad reality for some of us in our childhood.

Take consolation in the fact that when you are 18, there is still plenty to do and you’re still very young. The only thing your really missing out on in this age is a bunch of kids doing stupid stuff anyway.

thats 2 of us…. bc i mean my parents are crazy when it comes to protection…. n doing w.e u want anyways doesnt help…. so when u find the answer let me know
