It is so annoying having strict parents

Guest over a year ago

Oh my gosh. I am in the exact situtation as you. My mum and dad divorced when i was 3, I'm 15 now. My dad is the most overprotective person I have ever known. I have to ask permission for anything and everything, including stupid silly things. The most horrible thing is that Im not allowed to leave my house, at ALL, and my dad HAS to speak to any adult or parent supervising me and my friend when I go round their house, and he checks up me on by phoning my parents friends. He literally thinks I'm 5. However my mum, is totally laid back. She will let me eat, wear, watch and see who I want to. Ive had sleepovers and multiple friends come round. Ive gone to parties as my mum has let me. If I mention a party to my dad I'm in for some screaming and shouting on his part. Ok maybe my situation isn't EXACTLY the same, but you get my point. It's crazy, and annoying. And after all this, I'm terrified to even ask my dad anything, let alone mention a boy...oh man I dont even wanna go there. He will probably murder me....well that's my idea anyway. He says no to everything and sometimes he 'thinks about it' and then ends up saying no in the end. It's making my life a living hell when all of my freinds go out, party, have boyfriends and get involved with people and have a good social life. I am a VERY good student too, I would be no different if i only had some freedom. What I'm tryna say is I'm glad you ranted on about this as the 15 mins you took to write totally made me realise i wasn't alone in this. :)

I get your point as a mother but at a certain point it should stop.
Some teenagers can't even go to town or go to there friends house.
Looking at your friends have sleepovers and fun is emotionally upsetting, I don't drink, have sex it take drugs I don't want to but many times i miss out on everything. It hurt teens mentally which can sometimes lead to depression.

my mother doesn't even listen to my feel, and I know many other people who have dealt with the same.
It's hard not to be upset when a whole part of your life is being tore to shreds, I have been depressed at school for most of my time, always left out and my friends leaving me because I can't do anything with them.
It's not a blessing for all people when it goes to the point of depression.

(Sorry for any grammar mistakes)

I'm 13 and I just got my ears pierced while all my friends did when they were babies! I'm not allowed to have a phone or social media of any kind while all my friends have had it since the 3rd grade. I can't get an A- or lower on a school paper and I'm not allowed to have friends over or allowed to go to friends houses, and don't even THINK about asking my parents if i can go to anyone's sleepovers, because the answer is no. I can't even cross the road without asking, and my friends get to stay up super late and I have to go to bed at 9:30. No boys and no computer on school days. I can't have a password for anything unless my mom knows it. I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THE FACT THAT I CAN'T EVEN MENTION HOW STRICT THEY ARE TO THEIR FACES BECAUSE THEY WILL JUST LECTURE ME IF I SAY THAT THEY ARE TOO STRICT. I hate my life and have very few friends because I can't do ANYTHING.

Im 15 too and my dad is way too strict. he thinks he's doing the right thing because apparently if you have guy-friends you are a spoilt girl with boyfriends and you'll spoil the family name, so he tries to control me and it's really hard for me right now, so i just wanna say that keep holding on. one day we'll make it through. :)

I'm feeling the same way right now Friend, I'm 16 too and I'm not allowed to hang out with my friends unless I give my mum a full report on who I am going with, what I'm doing every second and she always says no.

You CAN 'change' your culture...well, technically you can change the way you live. If you don't agree with your family's beliefs you don't have to follow them as an adult. You can decide what culture you want to follow. If this is affecting you that severely then your culture is insignificant next to your need for freedom and the ability to experience the world to become an adult. You are able to decide not to follow that culture and to leave. It may never have seemed like an option for you, but really, you are an adult and you can have separate beliefs. Walking away from your parents' culture will damage your relationship further, but it will give you freedom to choose whose rules and what culture you WILL follow. Perhaps you should cast off the culture you were born into and raised by, if it brings you so much pain. You may find that it is worth it.

Anyone else planning on going crazy when they turn 18 and wearing everything they weren't allowed to wear and doing everything they weren't allowed to do, all for a few months to a year, and THEN actually adulting and becoming mature and responsible??
