Honestly same. My parents are the exact same and it's caused me to develop a severe case of Social Anxiety Disorder. Apart from the abuse I got until I was in High School, they were overly strict. I couldn't have any social media at all, not even those kinds that you just write stories in. I was not allowed to save pictures of my friends, I was not allowed to eat at certain times, I was not allowed to wear the clothes I liked (Even though they were jeans and T-shirts). I was even not allowed to do certain hairstyles without being called "ugly", "s***", or "crazy". I liked this store called Hot Topic for some of there merch and jeans and T-shirts and they would always talk about me behind my back calling me names of all kinds. I then decided to get a cute pixie cut and I would wear a headband on top of it, and my father called me all kinds of names from "dyke" to "insane". He did not know that my hair was damaged and that I was trying to grow it down to my thighs. I was a very quiet girl, I didn't talk to anyone because I knew that if I talked to someone my parents didn't like then they would beat my ass for it. I lied to them all the time about my depression, my self-harm, what kind of friends I made, whatever the hell you could lie about. They sincerely thought that they knew me y'know but they didn't because they were mean and strict. They'd track my phone, they always wanted to know what music I listened to, they went through my backpack, my journals, they wanted all my friends phone numbers. At one point I had a friend of the opposite sex and I just liked talking about intellectual sh*t, and my parents gave me rants about how he was going to rape me. When they gave me rants, which was often, they sounded so superficial as if they knew everyone's intentions. They psychologically bullied me and liked to tell me that what I liked was ugly, i'm fat, I'm creepy, nobody will like me, no jobs will want me, the real world this, the real world that, your friends just want to hurt you. I became self conscious at such a young age and now lost all my friends because of them. Now I am extremely socially awkward and full on depressed y'know? I was only going to school because of them. Lets not forget school. Seriously all they talked about was school and college. Anytime I wanted to talk about love or anything, it was always "you have no life under this house". I was scared of going out by myself. I had some friends once and we were on a field trip, and they wanted to travel outside to go to get some fast food. I was scared because authority said for me to not go outside the area the field trip was, even though it was harmless. I was too scared to drive, buy food, go walking around my own street. Listen I live in a nice ass area though it's for old people, and all I want to do is go with a friend and travel. There's so many things I would talk about but I don't have time to write an intricate story of my life. Anyway honey, you'll have a life one day.

My mom literally uses books to punish me and make everything about school. She doesn't want me to use my phone at all and says it i'm on it too much. It's so annoying because I use my phone for everything. I'm 17 and I can't hang out at my best friends house without texting her. She always overthinks everything and it pisses me off. I just want to move out already because I can never say how i feel because she sees it as attitude, and she provokes me so much.

My parents are Nigerian and they do the same thing. Most kids niet age go skating and to the moties in fridays but not me. Ive been to neither. Yesterday I was invited to a friends house and I told my parents, they said no. I should take my mind off of going anywhere. I’m still wearing the same clothes from 2014 because I’m not allowed to go to the mall or pick out my own clothes. I can’t wait until I graduate and go far away for college.

Thank you. My dad is really annoying and strict. Everytime I ask to do some thing small like go over a friends house, he tells me how he never get what he wants and I don’t work hard enough around the house when he doesn’t even help clean up around the house. He doesn’t like buying me stuff because he says it’s a waste of money. But he doesn’t ask me what I want. He went to the store and got some clothes without me knowing. I said thank you but I didn’t wear them because I didn’t like them. Like he took all of me jeans because I didn’t wear a belt. I like wearing shorts under my jeans. But yet he says I waste money. I tried to get a job. He has been telling me to work if you want something. As soon as I start to get a jacin b at chick fil a, he says no because I don’t work hard enough. But I clean the bathroom, clean the kitchen, cut the grass, clean another bathroom, school work. And I can’t get a phone either. All of my friends have phones and keep up with each other. That’s the main reason I want one because I have a lot of friends and they ask me if I have a phone yet and I don’t. The summer time is coming up now and I have no We to keep in contact with them. I have to sneak Snapchat to at least text them. And he said that if I could pay for it myself then I could get one. But when I try to get one, he says no. I have a life and I’m tired of being limited because my dumbass dad is being stupid. Like i am 15 years old now. I think it’s time for a phone. The only fun thing I have is the ps4 but I don’t be playing it that much. I have a 2 hour limit for how long I can be on technology. But yet he is always on his phone talking to his friend or listening to music or just watching YouTube music. My sister does the same things I do but a little less but yet she can do so much. She goes to hi wire, sleepovers, carowinds, pool party’s, etc. I asked to go to a friends house to hangout for a couple hours and I barely made it. I want to tell him no I feel but I can’t. And he is just limiting anything and everything I can do. His mom, grandma, dad, auntie, and uncle has told him he needs to ease up but he doesn’t. I hate him. All he does is walk around the house and if I’m minding my own business, he will tell me to do something. All he does is watch me. He says if I can get all my work done then I can have my free time to myself. But if I do my work early and get on some technology he tells me to get off. He sees something that needs to be done and he will tell me to do it instead. Something as simple as taking out the trash or wiping off a counter, or even picking up some trash. He tells me to do it. And when I get adgervated and tired of him telling me to do something stupid, he says I’m getting an attitude and I get punished. Please give me some advice about how to deal with him. How should I tell him how I feel? It’s been 3 years since I’ve moved to South Carolina with him. I haven’t seen him in like 4 years and he has always been bull sh**ting me. He is always jumping into my conversations but when I do it I’m rude and selfish. He acts like I want him listening in to my conversation with my grandma or siblings. Any advice out there? He is a good guy, he is just really mean and strict and annoying.

I am adopted. Didn’t get asked to be put with this family. I have strict parents. Been with my bf for over 8 months we have so many problems occurring because my parents. His parents are calm and relaxed and let him make his own decisions and learn himself. Wish my parents would stop being overly strict about us hanging out. I was forced to do a sport that gave me depression and it was a full time sport I didn’t see my bf at all once a week or one every two weeks and that’s our problem. I don’t even think of them as my parents and I’m 16 turning 17 in a month and when I’m an adult I plan to make my own living and college decisions myself. I rlly do love my bf and we have been through so much cause of the people I live with. We just want to be able to hangout when we want to like normal teenagers. Especially it’s summer which means more time.

My mum is really strict. She makes me give her my phone every night, she doesn’t let me have social media, she doesn’t let me listen to songs with swearing, she doesn’t let me watch certain movies, she doesn’t let me go on dates, she doesn’t let me trick or treat on Halloween, she won’t let me get a tv in my room, whenever I watch a movie she’ll constantly ask me if it’s finished yet so I can go to bed, she constantly says that some clothes in my wardrobe are getting too short when I have only got a chance to wear them once, she says that millions of things are inappropriate, she makes me use the kids profile on Netflix and says I can only go on the kids and adults profile my brother and I sometimes use when she’s supervising us when it tells what you’ve been watching anyway and she’s been way to strict in many other ways.
