The male's one scenario advised me personally exactly how fortunate I had been to possess my wife.

When he strolled in to his family room transporting an additional container, We required this through him and placed this next to the other people.After talking for a bit, he explained which their daughter as well as husband prolonged an invitation to reside with them upward north; and that he had been eager to end up being round his grandkids. I sincerely wanted him best of luck as well as requested him if he or she needed assist with other things.Then some thing remarkable occurred.The man explained that everything ended except for something. He needed to remain for 2 more times since the people he or she had been having to pay to drain his heating oil tank had been too hectic! Immediately We volunteered to get it done free of charge!He had been overjoyed.I had been surprised.He was completely unacquainted with my desperate requirement for heating system oil and had been simply happy to end up being leaving previously.Can you think it?One minute I'm sensation i'm sorry for myself because I thought my wife and I might freeze; and today my personal neighbor had been providing me a full container associated with heating system essential oil -- sufficient in order to continue for at least 3 payday periods!- Universal Laws for action -The Loa: Like leads to appeal to such as results.

Hi, im indian, i have a boyfriend of almost 6 months who is also indian, and his mum and dad know all about me. we have a long distant relationship and we met the first time last week. everything about him and our relationship is perfect. except the fact that his parents have said that i have to tell mine, or his dad will come down on wednesday (monday today) and tell them himself, and we cant talk until i do so. the relationship with my parents is literally non existent, they dont know anything about what im really like. and theyre REALLY REALLY protective, i dont go out ANYWHERE, im not supposed to have a phone, and they've always said that if i have a boyfriend i have to marryy him there and then. except my boyfriend is a Jatt, and im of a lower caste. my dad's always said that he would NEVER let me marry a jatt because they'll always put me down. anyway, so if i dont tell them, i cant talk to my boyfriend at all, and if i do tell them, i have a strong chance of having to break up with him and still not be able to talk to him at all.. im totally stuck :( yeah, i love him with all my heart. but we never know what might happen in the future. what if we break up, is this all really worth the grief i know im going to get? Im so confused.

I am 19 years old. I will be 20 in June. I will obtain my A.S. Business Administration - Accounting degree in May. Growig up I had very little freedom. I remember all my friends going out, while I stayed home. They would invite me to tag along, but i always declined because I knew that my parents would not let me. THey were very controling and still continue to be any chance they get. I resent them so much for this. I am old enough to make my own decisions. If i needed the help i would have asked. WHen I do try to include them in decisions I always end up regretting it. They end up trying to control everything and we argue. I cannot be open with them. I do not even feel safe enough to mention the tiniest thing,such as telling them how my day was ( not that they ask ). I go out only to spend time with my boyfriend of 5 years. When i started dating him, it was behind my parents back. In the moments where I enjoyed myself, everything was done behind my parents back. I wish that I could have been honest and I wish that I had a better relationship with them. I always end up being criticized one way or another. Other family members make it worse. I plan on getting a job when graduation approaches. I am getting married soon as well. My parents will not be participating in my wedding. I always dreamed of them being there, being happy for me, and supporting me. However, I will not be informing them about this. As soon as I get my degree, I am out the door. I have no intention of coming back. Perhaps it is something a little harsh to say, but it is the truth. I feel that they do not have any respect for me, do not pay any regard to what I want, or how I feel. This would only take no more than a year. If they do, they do a horrible job at showing it. They do not trust me either. Before i graduated highschool I had my heart set on becoming a math teacher. I love math. It is my favorite subject. They didnt believe that it was what i wanted. They told me that I was not fit for that profession. When I graduated highschool, I wanted to go to school to become a hairstylist. This would be something i would do to help me pay for school. After that year I would attend a university. They discouraged me immediately. They were angry. The profession that i would be returning to a university for is Accounting. If I had gone to the hairstyling school I would have had a job right now. I would be finishing my accounting degree next May, as oppossed to this May. I have been a great student all my life. I have a 3.66 GPA. I am part of Phi Theta Kappa honor society. I have not given them problems. I have been a good child all my life. I see tweens going out and having fun. I am happy for them, but i feel a sadness in me because i know that i did not have that chance. I will never make this same mistake with my children when i have them. I have younger sisters. I am willing to let them stay with me, should they ever need it.

Okay does anyone have advice for me btw i am 13 years old... I have very very strict parents, it's actually more my dad than my mum, my mother is quite laid back but only when it comes to going out, what i wear, friends etc. With my dad he is very very strict on social aspects like what i wear who i talk to etc. He won't let me befriend a guy not even look at one. If he catches me looking at one, he gets mad with me. I find it so ridiculous. My mother on the other hand, doesn't care as much. He won't let me wear tight clothing that show off my skin when i'm going to public venues. He doesn't like me going to parties with boys. Where's my mother is the opposite. I absolutely hate it. I feel terrible, I get so stressed. I don't self harm or anything but I cry about it. I wish my parents were less strict and let me have freedom. I sometimes hate my family because of this. My brother follows my dad's footsteps he watches out and make sure im not stepping out of line. I don't understand because my brother is allowed anything he can have a boyfriend etc. I have to rebel and go behind their back, I have had 4 boyfriends and they haven't found out. It stresses me out, infact my dad took my phone before and looked through it. I am worried. :(

I am a 34 yera old single mum to a 2 yera old girl. I have been divorced twice and this child is from my second marriage. My mother is 66 and a widow and I am her only child. I do want to look after her and try my very best but she is very controling. I can't decide what I want to buy for the house, for myself or my child. She is liek the big boss of the house. At 34 I am finding it very suffocating to adjust to her tantrums. She is lonely here and does not have any friends in London. I work full time and can't replace my dad. I don't expect any monetary help from her. She has way too much time oh her hands to think and then it all comes out on me. I bought a dustbin for the kitchen and she said no there is no space to put it! Se is a control freak and I have started hating her!!! I know the 2nd divorce was my fault as she told me not to marry him but thats my destiny and doesn't make me a bad person :( I need help. Sh eis leaving in 29 days and I am so excited... I know it sounds evil but that is what it has reached to. Pls suggest next steps... I do everything to make her happy - bought he rb'day gift of £250, buy food she likes, go places she likes - she only looks after my child for 1 day in the week and keps teling me I have used her. I hate her :-(

I can't imagine living as so many of you describe. I raised two kids with lots of freedom. I can't help but think these "overprotective" parents aren't just controlling psycohpaths. I hate reading things like "I know it's for my own good" or "I know they do it because they love me".. NONSENSE. That is NOT love.. that is abuse. I grew up in the 70s with kids with overcontrolling parents and inevitably they wound up hating them and excluding from their adult lives. I sure would have! I had great folks who were interested, caring and gave me the freedom to be ME. I am a successful attorney and my daughter is a physician..and my son a teacher. There is no room for abuse in child's life even when it's couched in terms like "overprotective"..

Is it normal for 20 year old girls to not help around at home. My daughter 20 does nothing at home. I have no maid and yet she refuses to help. Is this normal? And she comes home at 10 pm and i am not supposed to phone and ask where she is as the standards her friends parents follow is a hands off approach...... do i have to follow the same standards. Always watching english english english serials when there is such exciting art and culture in India... strange children..... selfish, they keep spending money, they dont help around the house not even answer a door bell.. anybody else in India with a 20 year old daughter like this?

AND HERE I WAS THINKING IT WAS ONLY ME .Yes i have seen other friends too who are going through similar situations .21 years of age and yet my parents still parrot the line that its for your own good .I have simple pleasures like staying over or the most astonishing thing is even for any work purpose they kick up such a fuss. I have tried reasoning with them ,calmly ..with defiance nothing works . my dad thinks he nows it all .. wants us too always listen to him according to him only he knows how to raise kids . oh he is controlling to the- T.he even managed to come to my work place and create a ruckus. i had died of embarrassment then and there. this has been happening ever since i got out of the boarding i was in surprising they put m in a hostel ..and after that all the drama started . i feel so helpless sometimes .i try to reason with myself so many times that they are doing this for my own good but its hard to believe .they are so manipulating that it scares me .they dont trust me at all .they keep fibbing that once ur set on your own feet we'll stop interfering but here comes the issue and conflict they don't let me think or reason on my own . so i end up getting smashed between my mom and dad. they are adept at emotionally black mailing me .saying stuff like oh ur the only one to take care of us and what are we going to do without you ,it has left me without any options . they dont let me off even with my own cousins go figure . overnight at a relatives house is also barred .i'm seriously at my witts end . my job is suffering cause of them that they cant see.anyway im going to stand on my end and not budge my ground this time .its a project close to my heart and something i really want to do .wish me luck .

My parents are so overprotective, typical traditional indian parents. I am 18 years old and I understand their concerns, but i need to live my own life! At university they have told me that I am forbidden to go clubbing, no drinking, no late nights, only concentrating on studying and no boyfriends. I feel like im in a cage! I am extremely responsible as well but I have no clue how to make them realize that I need a life too! I have tried time and time again to explain it to them but to no avail!:(

Wow, this is so nice to read and makes me feel like I'm not the only one out there with strict parents. It's hard to grow up in the US with overprotective parents. I am not allowed to sleep over, have a boyfriend, go out late at night, while my brother lived a very spoiled and privileged life of being able to do whatever he wanted. They bought him a car and treated him like a king while the sisters like us were given hand me down cars and were never allowed out late. They always assume the worst and since I'm the youngest if I get in trouble, my siblings back them up. I'm 19 years old and I'm still treated like a 3 year old. I think I can take care of myself. I have my own job as well. I need to get OUT. I'm going to collegea nd still living at home. It's TORTURE. I want to have fun. I want to drink and party and go out/have a bf. I care about school but I also want a fun social life. This is the age to be immature not when we are 40 and have jobs. When I move out I will become crazy and I know it since I'll be allowed to stay out late and do whatever I want. I wish I could keep a good relationship with them if I did move out but obviously we are too different of people and they will just freak out. Keep kids locked up and this is what happens, they rebel. I think that's how most kids will turn out if you keep shoving rules down their throat. Sadly, some turn out the wrong way. Luckily, I care about a good education. I just want to let loose on the side...and even travel and be myself. It gets so frustrating!!

Dearest Zoe from Canada, Please read this. I am 14 too. Even though I know this doesn't fix your problems, I feel your pain and I understand what it's like since I have over-protective parents myself. It's hard but I can tell you are tough. Hang in there and be strong. A very smart person once told me : "Things have a way of working out in the end. If they haven't worked out, it isn't the end yet." Stay positive and loving. Don't let other peoples' hate ruin who you are. If you can, try to write a book about what you are going through right now, seeing as you can't leave the house anyway. It'll keep you busy and if it someday gets published, it might help girls in the future get through their own battles. Smile. It can only get better from here. Lots of love, Ceili

I am also not allowed to go the the movies with my friends without an adult!! I cant even go in my front yard without letting my mom know so she can watch me. My mom being so overprotective has hurt me socially. People don't want to be my friend because my mom is all over me and them.

I'm 22 years old dealing with a lot of issues with my overprotective parents. calling themselves controlling my life & tryna get rid of my friends based on their appearances. My dad is the most difficult person to get along due to his ways & his nonsense about people & letting my mom listen to him but his also cheating on her with his ex-wife. When it comes to me, its a different story. My dad do not believe in a job and school work. My mom do not want me to go back to college due to one person & thats my man. The bad part about it they go back & tell the whole family based on whats going on in the house or at their job. Overprotective parenting is really unnecesaary to have if you want let your child face reality. Kids also needs to be learn as well but nto holding them back cause when they grow, they gonna become over-rebellious & overeact cause they see others people do stuff but we can't. Parents needs to be understand: Life is too short for your holding your kids back.

I'm 14 and my parents are well overly protective or just trying to make me miserable . I'm not allowed to go outside of the house this Summer or school year, I'm not allowed to go to the movies , mall , friend's house, party, slumber parties and forget even having friends over at the house! If my parents see me talking to a boy the automatically think the worst and scold me and yell at me. They have kept me indoors this Summer with NOTHING to do, I only surf the Internet but it gets so boring! I haven't talked to anyone since the beginning or summer vacation, I lost all my social skills and I can't even go to the library without turning into a social wreck . . . It's so horrible being isolated , I cut myself to vent and cry myself to sleep, I have lost my appitite along with 40 pounds since when ever I cry a lot I end up barfing. . . I can't even talk to my parents about how much this is hurting me, they just send me to my room. I want to die.

My dad is TERRIBLE. /: I'm about to be 16. And he doesn't let me do anything.. I forreal cry myself to sleep all the time. I have a boyfriend that I love with my whole heart. And he won't let me do nothing with him. If he comes over, we have to sit on the couch together. And he gets in trouble if we sit too close together. When I'm 18, leaving. Being strict is only hurting them in the long run. Because I wont never come see him when I finally get freedom. And he has no idea how much he's hurting me. We NEVER talk at all. He is always in a horrible mood and makes me and my momma miserable. Please pray that God will give me strength to get through this.. I feel everyones pain on here but one day, WE WILL BE FREE AS CAN BE :)))) so stay strong y'all!

I asked my parents b4 if i can go to overnight, it is the debut party of my friend, and they say no. I was 16 that time...Now I am 18 yrs.old already...I just asked them a while ago, if i can go to overnight..I asked them CALMLY, but what my mom said "WHY?? WHATS THE REASON? AND NO! YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT EVEN YOUR FRIENDS ARE GOOD,.YOU CAN'T TELL WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT"..i already knew that,.but im freaking 18~!i am not allowed to have boyfriend, to go and hang out with my friends,to go to swimming and OVERNIGHTS??eventhough its school related they will say no..I want to experience such thing in my life..especially now I am in college..all of my life,during my elementary and high school days, I always follow their wishes for its for my best..but why not give me a chance to prove that I am responsible enough that I can handle myself being on a overnight...I will call them and text them what is happening.I can keep them updated but why??? Theyre getting to much over protective that I cant enjoy myself and my social life..I really wish I had my own job now so I can go and do what I wanted to do..but ofcourse they wont allow me too..its so tiring..haiszt im getting tired of this routine, of this whole no-no scenario :(

I am 13 yrs. old i have strict parents, they let me do stuff like have sleepovers, and "play dates" as they call it. Doesn't sound so bad right? Well they call and text me the whole time, makes sure someone is around to watch me. I can't even go to the movies without them sitting next to me. my friends think my parents hate them because they think my friends are bad influences on me. They treat me half my age. My story might not be so bad compared to the ones above but mabey if you had a family night. Something to bring the family together, boardgames, or movies, maybe if you try talking to them maybe if they understood you more they'd trust you more. I dont talk to my parents that much at all it's mostly small talk at resturants even at home it's pretty sad. I tell myself to be more open but it hasent worked out yet. And this isnt something that happens over night, most importantly don't lose hope. I have noticed that most of the stories just explan the situation there in and not solutions to the problem we all seem to have. hopes this helps, MisTreated

Hi, I'm Iris. My parents won't let me go to my friends' house(s) without a good reason or it being a special occasion. I'm 11 and a half right now. All of my friends are all free and happy. They are allowed to do whatever they want. Why not me? In my whole life, I've only been to 6 sleepovers. 3 of them were for birthdays and the rest were with my parents' really good friends. I should have some privileges!

Im 15 and my parents have just found out that i have a boyfriend even though they said i cant't. I feel that i cant talk to my parents anymore. My mum thinks the worse and doesnt let me explain. They dont let me talk and mum just wont listen she just carries on shouting. My dads better but because hes always at work he cant help, he just follows what my mum says. I have older half brothers and sisters and these are my are my mums children and they have all grown up with children. They all agree with me and mum gave them so much freedom when they were children. I talked my my older brother and he said that he will try and talk to my mum at least to make her give me back my lapotop or phone. I have no way to talk to my friends when im not at school with them. Im a straight A student and i work hard in school and my boyfriend is the same. My mum keeps saying that i have to make a choice, either my horse goes or my boyfriends how is this fair? She is trying to move me schools as well so i will loose all my friends. I don't think she realises that im upset all the time. Life is hell. I dont know what to do.

Hi! It's me again. Just had to vent some more: I wasn't allowed to go to someone's sleepover last night, even though my mom is friends with the person's mom. And all the way there, he was yelling at me about getting and 88 percent on my last math quiz. Just to get this straight, I'm a seventh grader and I took a test earlier this year that put me in the eight grade algebra class. This means that next year I'll be in ninth grade geometry. But do they care? No. I still have to get straight A's. I don't get to see my friends outside of school and my dad is always like "That doesn't matter. As long as you get good grades." I wanted to scream that it mattered to me. There's this guy that likes me, but I can't let him know I like him back because I wouldn't be able to go out with him. My dad says I'm not allowed to get a boyfriend until my second year of college. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT? My mom never stands up for me, she just agrees with my dad. Sometimes I'm not too young to do something and sometimes I need to stop being immature and grow up. WHAT DO THEY WANT?!?!?!?! Like when my friends are going to do something wrong and I try and stop them, my parents say "You should've stayed out of it." When I walk away, my parents say "Why didn't you try to stop it?" IT DRIVES ME INSANE. Thanks for listening, internet.

I feel all your guy's pain. My parents have to talk to my friend's parents and invite them over to our house before I get to go to a birthday party. A birthday party! And when I ask to go to a sleepover, they look at me like I'm nuts. I just got a cellphone recently, and I'm 13! Somehow, they even got some program that can track who I call. I HATE IT. I get straight A's in school, but they always pick on me if I get an A minus. Just this year, they told me I would have to get A's in everything if I wanted to go on a trip this summer. They always assume the worst will always happen. They won't let me get a facebook because they're convinced I will meet some pedophile or something. They won't let me listen to music other than classical because they think it will "poison my mind". They look over all the movies I watch and the books I read. I have to ask to go outside, because they think I'll get shot once I step out the door. Most of my friends have older siblings, so their parents have loosened up a bit. But not me. I'm the oldest, and I'm a girl, which makes them even MORE overprotective. I wasn't allowed to go ice skating with my youth group at church, even. Come on! This is church! My parents need to give me some freedom. I'm probably going to move out on my eighteenth birthday. I can't stand it for longer than that. Good luck to the rest of you guys!

Just wanna say that I feel so comforted to know that there are so many others here who have similar 'overprotective' issues with their parents . I`m 23 ! Yes 23! And I`m still questioned about everything and anything. I feel really stifled most of the time and I hate it! My parents don`t see how insecure this makes me feel. My Dad always talks about other people`s 'smart' kids and how they`re so tough and independent but he won`t even listen to things regarding my independence and how that makes me feel. I have a younger sister who feels the same way and we can`t wait to move out and be free soon. Some of you guys have written very inspiring posts so thank you so much for those!

I have a friend that I have known for over 6 years. When I met her she was 14 and home schooled. I really didn't talk or become good friends with her because she was never allowed to have friends over or leave the house. She couldn't even go on the trip with our church youth group...but her older brother could. I always felt really bad for her because she was so sheltered. So a couple of years ago I got in touch with her again and she started actually talking to me and she sounded so helpless because she couldn't do anything without her mother knowing or telling her know. So one day I asked her if she was ready to make a move and she was more than happy to come to my house, leaving a note for her mother saying she was going to stay the night with me. After her mother got off work she called my friend and told her to tell her where I lived. My friend was in tears after she got off the phone and in a panic voice told me she was calling the cops. The Police made her mom leave telling her to leave her 19 year old daughter alone. After that I introduced her to a friend of mine and they it off. So this is where I am at now that I would like some advice on. She is two-faced to me I feel so betrayed because I helped her when no one else would. What should I do?

Parents: I understand that the world we live in today isn't safe for kids today, but kids do need freedom, they need to have a childhood to remember instead of being at home all day. You can give your children freedom and security. When I was a kid my father never let me live or have fun. I don't have any good childhood stories to tell my children. There are a few but its when I was at a school fieldtrip or at school. I always felt like my parents were so paranoid And scared to let me out. They were just teaching me to be afraid of the world. I'm really not saying to let your kids run around without you knowing where they are, I'm just saying teenagers need freedom to.

I have 4 grown children. It was tough when they were growing up. My husband worked nights, and slept during the day. This left me with most of the upbringing of our children. They went out with friends to parties and such. They drank and had hang overs several times. At nights I would not sleep until they were home, and alot of times that was late. I guess they couldn't tell time. Their excuse was they didn't have a watch. They wouldn't wear one anyway. Today they are between 30 and 42 years Of age. 3 of them have families of their own and are doing well on their own. We have 8 of the most wonderful grandchildren anyone could have. PARENTS: Be protectful of your children and keep them safe from harm. BUT let them "live" and help them through any trobles that may occur in their growing up. LIFE IS GREAT

To all you lovely people who are suffering from overprotective parents. I am now 34, my parents were really smothering and overprotective which lead me to be deeply insecure, it was hard to get my independance in my adult years. But deep down I have a rebellious spirit and I finally cracked it. We have to know that we have the right to freedom. Our parents do not have the right to own us or make choices for us. It is so hard I know I have been there myself it is like being in prison. And it suffocates your Soul and feeling good about yourself. They do not realise the damage they are doing. Be determined to reclaim your power. And know that it is your parents that are making a mistake and find your inner strength to stand up to them. you have the right to set your own boundaries. The trouble is the conditioning usually starts before we can even walk so it is deeply ingrained in us. I strongly suggest learning to meditate and looking within yourself. Learn and practise breathing exercises because the breath helps you to move through blocked energy and emotions. Summon the power within you because we all have power at the depths of our Being. A Spirit chooses their parents before they incarnate and they are rightfully teachers to the parents but this modern world has got everything upsidedown. Deep within you you have the right to power and freedom. this is a God given right. Don't ever stop dreaming, follow your heart, find your intuition, find the strength inside you and most importantly breathe deeply. Practise that every day it will help you. I love you all...

I'm 16 and my parents are over protective, although I know it's to help me and they love me, it makes me nervous about doing things like going on public transport. I understand that there are "bad people" around, but surely it's a good idea for me to get used to it now, so I know how to deal with it later? My mum's too scared to stand up to my dad as he just has ago at her, so whatever he says goes. But just because she's too scared to stand up to him, should it mean I should be? He has a habit of turning everything around to make it seem like he's the victim, and like everyone's out to get him, but it's not that at all. Tends to make things seem a lot worse than they actually are. I'm not really "allowed" to go on the train by myself, but if I don't then I won't learn anything at all. I think parents need to be more lenient as teenagers get to around 16. It's depressing and makes them feel caged in, I'm not allowed to walk around at 8pm, whereas my friends are. In my house it's like I'm not allowed to express how I feel or else my Dad will shout at me, even when I've been crying my mum just makes up a petty excuse so my dad doesn't know what's REALLY happened. Pathetic if you ask me.

Okay i cant beleive i am doing this but after reading all of these posts i just feel like i need to let it all out. I am 13 and im not allowed to do anything with my friends apart from school. Whenever my friends ring me my mom and dad get annoyed there like "whos that your talking to" or "why are your friends ringing you" i try to tell them to ring my mobile, but their parents wouldnt see it as an issue so they wouldn't understand. I am not allowed to do ANYTING... with my friends, shopping,cinema,park... baisically anything that teens do together, and it leaves me constantly left out at school whenever my friends are talking about what they did on the weekend at the shopping centre (mall) im just sitting there like..., and i hate it, i have to always make up and exuse so people just dont bother asking me anymore, my parents just wont let me, i did once confront them but they said that they trust me, its just there are "bad people" around. As it comes to sleepovers i always asked my parents and i hated asking beacuse i always knew what the awnser would be, and it always would be; no. However at one sleepover where i just stayed for the day and not sleep my dad came to pick me up and saw that all my other bestfriends were sleeping, so he let me sleep! i was soo happy. i guess he couldn't leave me out. but that was the only one. and at SCHOOL my life as an indian child isn't so great either, im not allowed to wear make-up or wear my hair down, get it styled like a fringe, beacuse of this all of the boys allway constantly tease me every single day and take the pi**, and i know it isnt beacuse of my personality, it beacuse i am so different. everyone else wears their hair down and wears make-up ,and there i am; it also is hard for me at school beacuse there is probabley around 3 indians in my high school altogether. Too be honest i cant wait until im 16, because then they cant stop me going shopping or to the cinema, but when im 16 i know there will be parties like late-night ones, that will be more challanges for me. as it comes to ASPARATIONS my dad's always asking me like what do you want to be when you grow up and im like i dunno, but i do know, but what i want to be isnt part of indian life, indian life is go to school, go to collage, go to uni, get married, have children... and thats it. this may sound really stupid but i really want to be a proffesional singer, like in the music industry and i really dont want to be dreaming. i want to make it happen and i know that i would work as hard at it as i could to do my dream, but how do i tell my parents this? its just out of the question. or am i being stupid... i sometimes ask myself. i feel like im rambing on now so im going to stop :P

Like one time I was gonna go to my friends house but for some dum reason when i told my dad about it and then he said that something bad could happen to me if i go.like some drugdealers dealers could snacth me up but my friend is only five block s away from me. on some real sh***t i started spazin out like cray. I can't go to the mall or the movies bymyself or with my friends. I can only go to school or this rec center like 2 blocks away from me. So basicly everywhere i go im chained to my mom and dad sometimes i really wish i could a better or be someone else

Well i don't have over protective parents but i feel your pain. I want to date a girl with over protective parents and it drives me insane why put an age limit on feelings? But (in response to other posts)if you try and sneak out beware of actually giving over protective parents a reason to be mad trust me not a good idea i guess it could work but be warned. Also they wont even let her go to the movies alone with a lot of female friends no guys. i don't know why i am complaining on a little blogish thing lol. Plus they threatened to make her move schools all ready i guess that's what i get for living in Texas. Still WHY??? she gets good grades and i don't get bad ones she made above 100's in all of her classes. Nor do i do drugs or drink so i don't so the problem. Plus i am more afraid of her dad than Lucifer ya the one with horns and red skin. Seriously i train in MMA and i would rather fight Rampage Jackson rather than him. But i guess it's not my place to inter fear with her family. but if you have any advice or an explanation to by above question WHY!?!?!?!?!?!? i would be more than great full

I am 17 1/2 years old... and I'm really glad to read other people's comments that relate to myself. My parents are overprotective as well. I'm not aloud to go out, join after school activities, not have a bf, or hang out with my friends. I was always kept in the house away from the world. The only time i was able to go out was to go to school or family gatherings. Everyone says that i should move out, but that isn't an option anymore. I would like to move to a different city and dorm in a UC, but my parents doesn't want to pay or support me. I can't get any financial aid because my dad's income is too high. My dad doesn't let me work either. I am being forced to go to a nearby state college. So, I'm basically stuck in this situation and it is really depressing. I want to go out and discover myself than being held back. I really don't know what to do. I guess i just have to wait til' I am 21 and ready to move out

I don't know why im doing this, but i guess i want to get it off my chest. I love my parents dearly. But they are just overprotective. I'm not allowed to wear makeup either at school, cos my mum thinks im gonna end up like all the other girls. I'm not allowed to spend any time any more with my friends, cos my parents think i'm getting influenced by the behaviour. I wish so much that they didn't think that and just understand i need friends out of school. That i need association out of school to keep my ties with my friends. I've learnt i lost a few of my friends, cos i wasn't allowed to do stuff out of school with them.

My parents dont allow me to talk on my own cell phone for too long. I f i get a call from one of my friends my mom would be asking who it s and when will i finish. Its embarassing becuzse they can hear on the other end. When i would ask her about it she would say that it her house and she dont entertain guests. Hello!! Come on!! Am only on the phone for pete's sake. I dont understand why she behaves like this. She dont evn let me go anywhere. I hardly have much friends. If i can talk with them on the phone would i be able to hang out with them?? Its frustrating and ridiculus!! Am a good kid compared to others!!

My parents are insane. I am thirteen and they do not let me do anything. Being a thirteen year old child in Canada, in 2008, is very hard to maintain a social life while being allowed to go to all the fun places with your friends like the movies or skating, let alone not being allowed. My parents say that they trust me, but not the world, which is a lie, because they don't trust me. I am a pretty good child, compared to the other kids here, and they still don't allow me to do things such as go to the movies, skating, over to my friends houses, parties, etc. It's terrible, and they are keeping me from learning. I am going to go into the world without experience. I know they mean well, but it is ridiculous.

i am into an action research on the over protectiveness of parents.i was urged to have this research because of this alarming incident. One of my house companions told me that my daughter who is the only child told her upon seeing a toy gun that she would like to buy it to shoot me. i never remember any instance that i have maltreated her. sometimes i become nagger because she can not keep her things in order. i wanted her to be responsible fellow while young. By the way she is 13 yr old. i know i am an over protective mother and keep her track all the time. does this contribute to her attitude now? or she just hates me? if being over protective give negative impact to children then where does this over protectiveness came from? please help. thanks

Continued from below.I would advise anyone in such a situation or one that is similar to only look out for yourself, do what you want because only you understand/care about you, protect yourself and make your life as stress free as possible and get rid of all predators. Also be thankful for everything and don't feel sorry for yourself as doing either or a combination of both will cause predators to be attracted to you like a magnet. One day, I truly want to find out what a real family is. I will probably adopt a couple of kids because although I wasn't adopted I have felt abadoned by both my parents and family;I want to make a positive contribution in someone's life one day. I am also currently studying to be a nurse because I have compassion for others and want to help them feel better overall.

I consider being "allowed" to go to school a blessing in itself. When I was younger (11 -early adult)My dad took me out of school because my brothers were running around with guns. I was very isolated. For the small time I was able to interact with others, the people were at least 4 years younger or more than me. At those times, my dad would critize me for spending time with younger people, as if i was suppossed to be completely solo and go crazy. Of course i cried a lot and almost went crazy on several occasions. back then i was very religous and tried to obey my parent.I taught myself because it was a self taught progam. my dad wasn't there most of the day and I was unsupervised. He said if I went bck to school that I would be a whore but of course I exhibited that i was not rebellious and that I wanted to learn so that wasn't true. I feel like my dad punished me for what my brothers and my mom did. I feel like he abadoned me like my mom did but differently, and took advantage of me in a way too when i was eleven. I wanted to get a job but he admantly disappoved of that even though he could barely provide for me and we lived in a house that wasn't up to health standards etc.

I've read alot of your comments and all of you need to find some way to realize that they only have so much power over your. If you have to sneak out of your room at night to have some fun do it, but don't go overboard. If you abide by everything they say your going to end up miserable and hating them. Someone above mentioned that overprotective parents tend to encourage anxiety disorders in their children. Both me and my sister have a type of anxiety disorder thanks to my parents, which I didn't start geting proper treatment for 10 years because they didn't bother to notice how unhappy their protective acts were making me. For your own sake starting doing little things that they wouldn't approve of. My most liberating experience was when I snuck out and got my belly button pierced. When they found out they got mad and then it passed. I realized they can only get mad for so long and then its over and I'm free again. I hope this is at all helpful for anyone.

My mom and dad are divorced, and im the only child, so of course they are going to be a bit overprotective, but sometimes it gets to a point where i hate being around my mom some times she is just so annoying, some times i wonder if she would just stop talking, i swear she just talks to hear her self talk. I mean i love her in all. but i just cant stand her. Its always do this do that, and when i do something like chores there is always something wrong with what i did. I cant have, like any friends without her meeting the parents first. or going on double dates. god forbid i have friends who smoke, she will just assume that I am smoking to. Of course im going to try it, i mean sereously, who hasent? And i cant even have a myspace, because she dosent trust me. I am really not a bad kid! And then my dad on the other hand is the more lenient one, i love going to his place, my step mom is cool to. But <3 i wish that my real mom was as kool as my step mom! _-_-_-_-(: <3 <3<3<3<3<3 ____------BB

I'm the [older] child of the overprotective parents. This article was very informative. I confess, growing up in today's society was rough but even more difficult with they're constant fears that something bad will happen. Sure I can understand their concerns but in order to go out and 'try' to live a normal life was like pulling teeth. It got to a point where I had to lie to them in order to try new things. I never had an addiction nor did I ever commit a crime...I was a good kid, always careful. Lying was not something I enjoyed but I had to, and still do just to keep peace in the family.

Before reading the article, I always thought that Singapore parents are seriously over-protective of their children and this don't really happen to other countries. My parents are not over-protective but I feel that the reason for my low self-esteem and low confidence is because I am always dependent on my mum. I can't seem to pluck up the courage to do things at times. Since young, my mum did not do anything about this, and thus, I grow up, being super dependent on her. So is it my own characteristic? I really don't know.

I get all of you, I know how you feel and it is isolation and crazy. I know you won't believe this, but it's not forever and things do get better once you are able to move into your own place. I am 35 and I had micro managing rude parents who did exactly what you are all saying...watched every move, how I spoke, my reactions to things, and I was not allowed out for yrs...until 19 ish. I cried lots, walked lots and wrote in journals. It does get better once you are an adult and can play the bigger games of life.

Been doing homeschool almost my entire life. Due to the homeschool method I do not have any credits for highschool and I am behind by two years. The most embarassing thing that could happen to me. Terrified of college now. I wasn't allowed to go to school because of the "bad environment" not good teaching etc. Now I have a chance this year but not likely. Even had requirements on how I was to organize my closet. At the age of 16! I have to take 4 dance lessons that I despise and one that I like. I am not allowed to go anywhere by myself with the exception when I am being chaperoned by an adult or with a friend in extremely rare cases. I live inside the house and would love some fresh air by myself. Just to walk a few blocks every day would be nice. Dad is controled too. Can't do anything about it.

I have done homeschool almost my whole life and because of the way my mother made me do it I am behind in highschool and might be 20 by the time I get into college. What really irks me is the 2 years I went to a public school and I could have been a b average student. I also have to take 5 different dance lessons 4 I do not want to do and 1 I do. Before she tried to make learn to play multiple instruments violin the first. Not allowed to go further than 50 feet from the house when walking the dog. I stay home all day pretty much trying to do internet highschool. Only friends I have are by email. She is extremely paranoid about me getting kidnapped so much so I can't do much outside of the house. I wish that I could have grown up in the 50s. For school she doesn't believe that it is good and also I have risks of making big mistakes. The dance lessons she is emotional about it and won't let me stop. Dad doesn't have a say in anything he is controled too.

I understand all of you. I have indian parents and they are very strict. Im 16yrs old and cannot go to the movies with my best friend. They have both met the parents of my friend but they still dont let me go out anywhere. I think the problem with all overprotective parents are is that they dont understand. They're level of thinking is too traditional and they just want us to grow up the way they grew up. But they should really open up and listen to us. My mother always tells me your 16 your opinions dont matter i know whats best thats it. But thats not the case every child should have the right to have an equal say in their family. =]

Do you know what it feels like being 22, still living with your parents, and all your life you've had a hard time to stand for your own opinions and display your true feelings, difficulty to make friends, and a fear of new experiences? To me, this feels like being the most boring and lonely person in existence. Overprotective parents, or mothers in this case, can make the life of a child an uphill battle.

Ok - someone needs to say it - you all need to really grow up and try and see things from the perspective of your parents. Instead of fighting them, why don't you try to understand them and that way you can give them a bit of reassurance that you know why they're acting the way they are but they have to let you go because your're growing up. My parents were the worst for being overprotective but I totally knew why they were......there's so many bad things going on in the world and the only way they can protect you is if you're with them 24 hours a day. Your parents are just scared of the big bad world and what might happen if they let you loose in it. Its not that they don't trust you it's just that they have no sensible idea of how to protect you and the truth is that they can't. They have to trust that you're smart enough to do the right thing and by fighting with them, you just let you're immaturity come to the surface and that helps no one. Take my advice - they will always be scared, but if you givethem enough reason to believe that you know how to stay safe and out of trouble, you're more likely to be given more freedom without having to sneak around or lie.

I'm 28 years old and a the only child of two heavily overprotective indian parents. I've not spoken to them in almost 2 years. I live with my fiance and they disowned me over our relationship. I never hated them although I will always resent them for certain things. I was never allowed out with friends or by myself until I was 15 years old and by that time, my peers had stopped asking because I'd always had to say no in the past. My dad in particular never taught me to ride a bicycle because he didn't want me to go riding on the roads. I couldn't sleep over at freinds' houses because they didn't think I'd be safe. As I got older, went away to University etc...they got used to the fact that I was growing up. My first boyfriend was SE asian but when I came home during the Summer before my final year at university (9 years ago), I met the man I'm with now. My parents don't like him - basically because, they consider his colour to be too dark. Religion also comes into it but neither one of our families are particularly religious. I love my parents but at the end of the day, they can't look beyond their own prejudice to see that I'm truly happy and that says to me that their love consists mostly of pride which seems to be more important to them. I miss them but they gave me an ultimatum and I made the only choice that was available to me. To choose them would have increased the animosity between us and I would have had unresolved feelings for my fiance. I had to choose to live my life for myself. I hope one day we will be able to resolve this but realistically, I know how stubborn that my dad can be and with it just being 2 of them, my Mum has no choice but to stick by him. I won't ruin the harmony that they have by trying to maintain contact with one of them but I'll be patient and hope that one day they will want me to be their daughter again.

my dad doesnt let me hang out iwth my friends, he doesnt let me go to school dances, im at new school with like on ly 5 friends who arent popular because i cant hang out with people, he says taht since im muslim , i shouldnt do things canadian people do. i m basically not allowed to have friends. peole are starting to ignore me now. theres no way to help these kinds of parents except that when you go crazy and you basically stress so much that your mind goes nuts, THEN they learn that overprotectiveness isnt good. actually, that happnd to my sister but my dad';s still overprotective and crazy.

My dad are god damn seriously the most overprotective dad ever! i am 12 and he controls my life, my freedom, how i dress, how i act, who i should have as friends, how i talk , every thing!! he wont even let me wear accessories like normal bracelets if he dont like the look of it. when i do something wrong he will always be like " who taught you to do this? " he thinks a bad friend will not only influence me to do bad things but MAKE ME! and once i wanted to hang out with a friend after schooll so i lieed to him that i had to stay afterschool to ask for homework help as an excuse and guess what he just yelled " DONT LIE TO ME! I KNOW YOUR LYING COME HOME RIGHT NOWW!!!" gosh i swear mannnn if a guy approaches me then hell think im having it with him or something[even if i dont know him]! and he wont gimme money because hes afraid ill spend it on "bad" things. but my mom is okay so if it werent for my mom ill be some low life that never comes outta the frigging house. but occasionally i can hang out with friends so thats awesome. i can tell you many other stories about him being so over protective but itll b e like milions so i wont even try. he is like PHYsCO!

I am 26 years old and I live with autism. I get money from SSI(Social Security Income). I do not live independently, I still live at home, but my parents still treat me like I am 12 years old sometimes. It's discouraging because there are things I need help with, but not EVERYTHING. I do have a little freedom in the sense that I am active with my Catholic church's choir.

Im 18 and I hate my mom and alot of other people in this world.Because my mom wont drop of what happened between me and mi boifriend last month. I hate her. Shes one of those people who wont drop alot of things that has happened behind her back. She also thinks that Im going to end up like my older sister. Who is now out of the house living on her own and pregnant. Sometimes I wish I hadnt done it but then on the other hand Im glad we did it because he's the only one I would have done it with. I love my boifriend and all but alot of people thinks that we're not made for. I think they're wrong on the whole thing. My mom keeps on telling me all these lies and trying to break us up which isnt going to happen. No one can split us up. No matter what they try to do. And today I had a teacher jump down my throat because of what one of my friends was saying in front of her and then today she threated to tell my mom when she already knew about it. But theres one person Im really glad is supporting us through this is his dad. His dad said "she's 18 and your a man, its natural." his dad doesnt really care what we do.

I'd hate to be insensitive, but I honestly feel that a few of you commenting on this website have nothing to complain about. I have over-protective parents too, who are so convinced that they KNOW what is good for me, they have pretty much chosen my course in life and told me to follow it, or else face being disowned. Harsh, right? Well, both my parents are rabid traditionalists so that means my "ideal" future, as far as choices are concerened, is to go to college, marry, have tons of children, and be filthy, stinking rich. Frankly, I do not care for any of those--I am NO housewife,and I don't plan to flaunt my education like a trophy that is just that--unusable. The only reason I'm planning to make money is so I can spend the rest of my life doing work that I might actually enjoy. However, for those of you who think its hopeless-- it isn't. You and I both have the same choice, and it's the door. We can leave, regardless of whether we're 18 or not. We can run away. Trust me, it's been on my mind countless times, and sometimes I've felt so overwhelmed by my parent's high expectations that I've came close to just ending it. But It's the easy way out, and you and I both know that somewhere deep inside we both love our parents. So I've stuck around, (and have nothing to regret, besides and education and food for the past 17 years.) Now that I have this experience under my belt, I'm ready to make my own choices that don't include a life as a trophy wife. It's worth it--17 years of frustration--for a lifetime of freedom.

i completely agree with Rebecca. with overprotective parents-children feel forced like they have to sneak around. I had gone shopping with my friends- and i lied and told them that the mom was going to shop with us, when really we would be just in our group. but i am 13 and believe it is ok as long as we stick together. well, when we went shopping i bought a very appropriate outfit thinkin about how much my mother would love it. My mom sees me wearing it and concludes that it is too tight. I measured a 3 inch looseness. so now, i sneak around with the shirt because now it feels fun to lie alittle.

I am a 13 year old girl. My parents are Indian but we live in India. All of my friends and even my brother agree with me that my parents are very overprotective. As a preteen- I find it more tempting to do things the opposite of what my parents want me to do because of their overprotectiveness. For example,my parents freak out at the word "boy" for me, so my attitude towards them is to sneak around. If I were to be asked out by someone I liked, I would definently have a boyfriend without them knowing. As for my brother, he is almost graduating and has never been on a date. If our parents were not so overprotective, he would ask the girl he likes out. I think that if a parent is more overprotective and they do not grow up as a child grows and understand what they are going through, then the child feels forced to rebel. They need to set boundaries but they can be a little loose.

I think it's reasonable to not have kids go to movies alone or have a boyfriend until they're old enough to marry but my parents won't even let me go outside because of 'rapists'.

There are times when my dad calls and when my brother or I can't here the phone he would rush home to see why we didn't answer the phone. How crazy is that?

My parents are overprotective, I don't have to worry about curfews though becaus I don't go out AT ALL. I think it's the reason I lost so many friends, because I could never go out with them and it was never the same after that. So when I could never do that I rebelled a bit and went out and drank, I've smoked some stuff and I've dropped out of school. It hasn't made me feel better because all I seem to have is anger over not being aloud to do anything. I'm stuck at home all day (cept when I work ever now and then) and it pisses me off having over-protective parents. over-protective parents mmeans having to go behind their backs.

Here's a case of strict parents gone really overboard: My ex GF was 27, and her parents still had to know everything that she was doing 24/7. This behavior led to her being afraid of staying out past 10 pm, driving more than 45 minutes away alone (especially at night),and getting anxious over the smallest, things. It made me mad the first time I met her parents- instead of saying hello, they asked me 20 questions like I was a POW being interrogated for war crimes. Although they eventually opened up to me, I could not see myself marrying into that family, especially if children were to come into the picture. I could just picture my Mother-in-Law yelling at us and getting worried that we didn't intend to send our son/daughter to a private Christian school (they are wacko evangelical Jesus Freaks), making him/her ride the school bus to school (where all the BAD KIDS will influence them)instead of driving them every morning, questioning our parenting skills, using guilt trips to get her way, or nagging about when we're going to bring them to their Grandma's next. Bottom Line: Being over-protective towards your children will make them afraid to make mistakes and unable to cope with any curveballs life will throw at them. If that's what strict parents call caring for your child, kick me out and throw me in an orphanage. I'd rather live on the streets than be smother-loved. At least I would be an independent, free-thinking person.

EVERY ONE PLEASE READ THIS, PLEASE!! No wonder the world is the way it is today, EVIL is in all of you teenagers. You should be thankful that your parents protect you from self-destruction. You think that because you are either 12 or 18 years old you know it all?? No, you don't, you are so naive and ignorant, not to mention incredible DISRESPECFUL to your parents as you used bad words and talk behind their backs so publicly as you are doing it here, shame on YOU!!!I am 22 years old and I have NEVER disrespected or disobeyed my parents because they know what was best for me. Now I am thankful to them because I have no regrets and I am doing great in college, I have good quality friends and I have good fun, never bad fun that can go against my morality, my principals and against my loving and protective parents, but specially against GOD. One day I will be somebody of value and success and not a bunch of regreats and filures as you will be one day for not listen to the wisdom of your parents. PLEASE MARK MY WORDS!!!! What you teens need to be and do is turn your eyes, your ears and your heart toward God your creator, learn about what he wants you to be and follow his commands. One of them says "Honor father and mother." All of you teens are pathetic, one day you'll regret but hope it's not toooo late. While you have NO SELF respect you'll never have any other respect to no one neither to your own parents. Watch out because God is watching you and it will come a DAY, a judgment day when you have to give GOD accounts of your bad actions. Believe me and FOR SURE that day will come for you sooner or later, you don't have to be old to die, what then? Oh teens, then you'll have to face God the creator, then your soul will twist in the most horrible pain of agony for the sins you have committed in your life. God is a good and merciful God, but if you go against His teachings using your free-will to do wrong, then you have to suffer the most horrible consequenses. God give us free will and it is up to us to used it for good deeds or for bad ones. So watch out because what I am telling you is not a fairy tale, it is a fact of a scary REALITY. So, change your attitudes and your heart and God will give you happiness, other than that your life will be ruled by EVIL and you will never have a happy and peaceful life. Watch out because he entises you to go against God, he tells you to be bad and one day he will devour you for eternity, then it will be too late!!!! Whatever religion you are go to your church and try to talk to someone, sick advise, become knowledgeable about God and the Bible and you will have many blessing and your life will improve towards a happy one. I am not much older than you guys, but I can see that I have a good rational the one I have learned from the wisdom of my parents. I thank God for that!!! PARENTS ARE NOT OVER PROTECTIVE, but because you are young and discovering things is that you look at that way, they are just protecting you from many, many bad things that have surfaced these days, besdides GOD gave parents the role of protectors to bring God's children to Him, teaching and protecting children is a rule that comes from God to parents. So by disrespecting and not listening to your parents you are disrespecting and not listening to God too. This is a true fact!!!!

hey just feeling reli pissed off. My parents don't let me go out unless they drop me off there, and if I'm not hanging out at the mall etc. which they think is a waste of time. I can't date due to my religion, but I can have guy friends (luckily). i have NEVER taken a bus by myself into town which is only like 20 mins away, and I'm 14!!!!!!!!! I'm just annoyed 'cos loads of my friends get sooo much freedom they can go into town by themselves, I cant because my parents think that I'll just loiter around and hanker after guys. they say they trust me. treat me like a 2 year old. My mum gets reli pissed off when I watch frends, she says its and a waste of time and I dont care!!!! I'm a reli gd pupil nd havent done drink or drungs!! just wished she'd let me go out with my frends by myself nd she didn't have to drop me off everywhere. I can take the EFFING bus!!!!!

I'm upset with my parents. They rule over every aspect of my life. To all of you who think that when you turn 18 you'll be free, think again. I'm home from college at 21 years of age b/c I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my life. Now that I've had some time to think about it, I know what I want to do. However there's one small problem; my parents are holding me back. They will not let me go back to my school b/c they don't think I'm ready. They think that if I go, then I'll just come back home again. After everything I've been through, I know in myself that I have matured in my ways and want to go towards this new goal in life. I WANT to go back to college and finish my life! But yea, I'm still living with the parents, working fulltime, trying to pay off my bills. This hoping that the future is going to get better hasn't come in handy so far...

im 20 years old and i went out with this guy who was then cheating on me...with my sister...(they are together now) my mum found out and said from now on no guys allowed in the house, which i thought fair enough i dont want to anyway in case it happened again, i found another guy which we get on really well.. but my mum doesnt like him, after about a week my ex managed to work him self into the house and was allowed in and comes around quite regula...i asked if my guy could come around she said NO! i have asked on many occasions and all i get is no!... but my ex is which confusses me... since i have been with him she goes through my stuff, keeps accussing me of being pregnant when we aint done anything yet, and because he aint got a proper place yet and is living with his sister he has asked me to look after his birth certificate which i did and my mum thought i was married to him when we only been together 6 weeks. i got a few letters through the post the other day i opened them up and then put them back in the envelopes and left them on the table with my name showing ... my mum comes over and started taking the letters out and started reading them in front of me which i thought was out of order...i dont spend that much time at home only sleep and eat and i go out , when i am there, there is always argurments going on about me, the only reason i dont spend that much time at home is because my new guy aint allowed in the house and coz of the argurments...it feels like she is trying to rule me and telling me what to do and that im big etc. i told her im 20 not 12 but it doesnt seem to sink in, i have spoke to a few people about this because its geting me down, a few peopele said i should move out and that way you have your own independents, and others say i should stay coz my mums sister is dying of cancer and needs support.... i dont no what to do?

Ok first off im 12 and my parents were never too over protective until they started talkin to my aunt more....now my aunt is a paranoid FREAK sumtimes.... she wont even let her own kid play in the front yard! Anyways....my cuzin was a cool kid until his parents made him stay inside ALL DAY EVERY DAY! this has started to happen to me which is the only reason i am writing this or else i would be outside with the girl i like... (but no parents think we aint mature enough) well sum1 needs to whack them with a friggin bat or sumthin cuz they livin in a dream world!!! They always are tellin us how unsafe it is out of ur house but when ur scared they say "Oh its okay we live in the safest place ever." MAKE UP UR MIND!!! I agree with sum of the people here.... the more overprotective ur parents are the more likely u are to sneak out...i already have snuck out of the second story window 7 times in the past 3 days!!! it sux! they wont let me play with friends after 7:00 and they dont care that my bike broke a month ago...they see it as an opurtunity to keep me indoors!!!To go anywhere i have to lie and im not a liar (although i have gotten good at it.) Parents yall need to lighten up... LET US LIVE! no one is gonna offer us safety in the "Real World" so let us learn from our mistakes now then fail from them l8er!

hey. i am not a teen anymore(in college)and i am getting to the point where i understand both the parents point of view and the teens point of view. most of teens want the exact same thing as their parents want: to be listened to, understood, and respected. teens want their parents to listen without shutting them off. if they don't listen, how is anything going to get done about your problem? most of teens can see right through their parents and can tell their motives. ya'll are right, your parents motive for being overprotective is fear. i did not understand why in the world my parents were so stinking overprotective and strict until i left for college. it was because it is very hard for them to let go. they watched their baby girl that they nursed and cared for for 18 years drive away and not need them anymore. they also watch the news and see the horrid stuff on t.v. and do not ever want that to happen to you. those of you who are 16 and17 they see you moving out in a couple of years and it scares them. seriously, the teen and the parent needs to really listen to the other. it would solve a lot of problems

my parents are wrecking my life, theres a list of things that they dont understand. most of the time I get on fine with them, but then there are these big nagging things, 1) My parents "will not let me" go to uni. they think it is a total waste of money, I understand where they are coming from, but I need to go to do what I want career wise, Ive tried to talk, they flip every time I mention it. I hate it, it tears me apart. 2) they want me to ask them before I get into a relationship, i cant help if if the person i like askes me out, im not exaxtly going to say "hang on let me phone my mum" in 17 going on 18, argh 3) i have a usual curfu of 10.30 till 11, my mates are out later, i understand their concerns, but they are paranoid im going to get killed, or raped or involved in a car crash. 4) They are trying to get me to leave college and get a desk job, i dont want a desk job, i want to be a lighting technician, but they dont think ill earn enough. they think i need tonnes of money to be happy, i dont. 5) last night they told me they want me to change my image, the last thing i have that is mine, they want me to be more "girly" i aint the girly sort, The main problem is my mum, but then my dad sticks up for her, my mum doesnt want me to have the life she had when she was my age, but she is so blind she cant she cant see she is trying too hard, she is a manic depressive as well, so Im afraid to talk to her incase she goes ill, i love her so much im willng to sacrifice my own happiness for hers. But its ripping at me, please help if you can.

My mom is so over protective that i cant stand her. i am 17 years old and i have only gone to the movies about 3 times with her permission.The other times i just sneak off i dont give a shit. i shook hands with a boy and she nearly had a heart attack she later then told me that i need to be careful with boys. she didnt have to say it but she was calling me a slut because i shook hands with a boy. i don know how much more of this shit i can really take because i honestly think of just getting the hell outta here. she has made comments to me in the past the she doesnt want me to get married and she wants me to live at home forever.i dont have a curfew i am expected to be home as soon as school is over which is at 4pm and not allowed to hang out with friends. This over protectivness has really imapcted me negatively i have very low self esteem and a poor self image. By her trying to keep me shelterd from the world i feel like i am incapable of handling thins.

I'm 17 years old and my mom is over-protective about me dating. When I was 15, I wasn't allowed to be alone in a car with a guy and I couldn't go to their house....at all. If I was with him, I had to always be with a group. I really didn't date because it was such a hassle. If I didn't date or anything though my mom kind of let me do whatever I wanted. I had a curfew at about 11:30 or 12 and I had no problem with that. I was out drinking all the time and my mom and stepdad knew but they just laughed about it or confonted me about it but never really punished me. I did get caught drinking by the school once and the only thing my mom and stepdad did was take away my britney spears concert.....when I was 15! As long as I am out having fun and drinking then my mom and stepdad don't really care. I talk to my dad a lot but he lives 3 and a half hours away so I don't see him much and my mom acts like he doesn't even live anymore. My mom hates him. Well I've been dating this guy for about a year now, on and off, but we're on a steady 5 months right now. My mom doesn't like him because he's too much like my dad but she doesn't admit that. My mom tries telling me where I'm going to go to college and what I think and how I feel about everything! If I try to even say what I feel about something she'll say "Oh Nikki, no you don't, you feel like this" or something like that. I haven't gotten into any kind of trouble for about 8 months now. I love the guy that I'm with, I love him with all my heart but my mom doesn't see that, she refuses to see that. She keeps me so sheltered from seeing him and spending time with him. I can only see him 1 week night and 1 weekend night which I think is ridiculous. My curfew is before 12 whenever I'm with him but if I'm not with him then she doesn't give a shit!! My mom got pregnant at 17 and now she's scared to death that I am too. She doesn't ever listen to me when I have something to say. She always has to be right and she is always putting me down along with my stepdad putting me down too. My stepdad even called my fat and I weigh 135 lbs. and im 5'9". Am I fat? I don't think I'm that overweight. My mom is trying to live the life she never had but wants so bad through me. I want to have my own life and love who I want to love. I want to be my own person! I'm so sick of it. My mom loves to play head games, especially with me and my boyfriend. He took her out to dinner one night to try to get to know her better and so she could get to know him better but all she did was tell him things that weren't true and make him believe that she was my best friend and that I told her everything and that I'm a completely differnt person when I'm at home than when I'm with him which is completely not true!! She then told me that I had a problem with myself and that my boyfriend needed some time alone to think out his own problems and that I should just step back and give him his freedom!! When my boyfriend and I finally talked a few days later we both found out what my mom was trying to do and we're even stronger now. She's trying to break us apart but we're too strong for that. When she found out that me and him weren't going to be breaking up any time soon she cracked down on us and started lecturing me about me and stuff. I told her bout my plans for college next year and she blew up on me! Even her brother and sisters think I'm a horrible daughter because she tells them everything and blows things way out of portion and even makes things up to make her sound better. So when my cousin told my mom that she felt sorry for me because our whole family was giving me a hard time my mom told her not to be sorry because me and my bf are getting way too serious and that I'm not going to school where i want to go and that she'll make sure I'm not. All I want is for my mom to accept me and my boyfriend for who we are as people but also who we are as a couple. He's a great guy and means only the best for me. He's tried to get along with my mom but my mom just makes him feel like shit. I'm getting tired of it. My dad and one of my brothers is so understanding but my mom, stepdad, and other brother are all alike and even think and say the same things. I'm sick of it. I just want my mom to grow up and let me live my own life and let me live how I feel and think. I can live with the curfew but don't punish me for wanting to be with ther person I am in love with. P.S.-and to all of you out there that are 18 and over and are complaining bout your parents.....MOVE OUT!!! In most U.S. states you have to only be 18 to move out and be free of your parents. If you're so sick of it then do something bout it because legally you can!!! Stop your damn complaining and go get a damn job or something so you can live by yourself in some apartment. I have no sympathy for any 18 year old or anyone else older that complaing bout over-protective parents because I know once im 18 i'm out of this damn house. I'm even looking at emancipation. I work and make my own money and pay for some of my own shit. My mom and stepdad wont let me pay for my own cell phone or for the car. They say I can't take the responsiblity but they just don't want me to grow up and let go of me. So if you're 18 then do something bout it stop sittin on here writing and go do something.

i'm 15 years old. And i can honestly say that i've never messed up really really badly. Sure, i've drank a little bit but i told my parents and apoligized and they were understanding. Usually, they aren't very overprotective and realize that i need my space.. until recently that is. Ever since i was about 12 years old and got my cell phone i've been able to stay out pretty late, til at least 12 or 1 as long as they know where i am. Then today my dad decides to suddenly become Mr. overprotective dad. I now have an 11 o'clock curfew and i have to be off the phone and computer by 12. I would have been fine if I had been eased into this, or if I had always had some sort of curfew.. but it's a little late to start something like this now. Without the freedom that I have always been accustomed to i wont be able to adjust very well and i'll find ways around my curfew. The society that we live in needs to have protective parents, but they need to know when to start and where to draw the line.

wow...my parents have known my friends parents for over 10 years now and they used to live next door to us. well when my friend moved i was devastated and since she has moved, which was back in 2000, we've become really close and i love her so much. shes like my sister and my best friend. ive been to her house for a week at a time before, actually i went last summer for 7 days, but now i cant go this summer because my mom and dad disapprove and feel very uncomfortable with the situation up where she lives. she lives about 4 hours away in a small town. i LOVE it up there because its so little and country and everyone knows everyone and its quiet and i can see the stars! my friend has been getting a little wild and everything but then again shes 15 bout to be 16 and shes just sorta normal. that sounds like the normal age when kids start to get a little more wild. she has snuck out of her house and broke curfew and gotten drunk but i know ive also gotten drunk and went out and smoked. its a learning experience and everyone needs those experiences or else you will only know of the world as being the place your parents made it sound like it is. you will never really know. also my friends parents are lost. i mean they dont know what to do about her and her older sister, who by the way is 19, but they know WHAT they are doing. ok so yes they are a little out there and dumb but every time ive gone up there they were fine. i was thier responsibility and they looked after me. i need to get out of my house and i REALLY want to go up there! i DONT want to sneak out and go boozing and so on. i want to leave my house and all the stress at my house and go up to where i like it. i love my friend and her family. i love whitehouse, texas and every thing and everyone in it. my parents say they trust me but they dont trust my friend. well if they trust me, shouldnt they trust me enough to go to her house for 5 days before school starts? its bull shit laters

My parents are very overprotective. They wont let me go to the moviews a little early with a bunch of friends cause of what might happen (like a 1 % percent chance of happening). They don't trust me one little bit even though I have never really done anything bad enough to betray that trust. They think all my friends are pschyo druggies when in fact they are quite mature and drugfree. How am I ever supposed to learn about these things if I am never exposed to them.

ok you guys think your parents are strict. i even get a c+ in math or anything they flip and i am grounded. i am 13 years old and i am treated like a 4 year old. i bet you have some kind of freedom at least. but always remember that parents act that way just so you can stay alive. without them you whould be nothing. so thank them but not for the little things but for everyhting. i mean they were there for your birth and to watch you grow up. when you feel down think about who picked you up and kissed your booobooo's and gave you everything you wanted. they love you and they whould do anything for you in a heartbeat! even give up there own for you!!!!!!! if you have any questions please write to me i may be little but i can listen and give you great advice, but if any questions email me at lovefest13@aol.com!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm 17, and my relationship with my parents is fine. They don't mind me going out to clubs, parties, etc as long as i have my mobile on me and let them know if I'll be back at some point or staying out all night. They are alot worse with my little sister. She's nearly 16 and they wont let her out unless they know shes staying at a girls house and see her walk through the door and wave through the window. They often steal her phone and read her Txt messages and stuff. Why are they like that with her? They have never been like that with me. If she ever brought a boyfriend home my Dad would probably shoot him or summat, but I'm always having my girlfriends back.

Here is my story. I am 18, an adult. My parents, especially my mom don't see that. They still see me as some young teen going to school and going to work. They won't let me drive to work, but they do let me drive to school. Which is ok. But the big thing is that i am out of school for 5 weeks now, till next semester. So i want to have fun and be arounb guys. Like any normal teens do. There's nothing wrong with it and it's a fact of life. Basically i was supposed to be home at midnight, and i came home at 12:40. Before i left the house i told my mom that my cell phone was dying so i had to turn it off, and she was ok with that. But then i come home and shes like yelling at me and then she says " You were supposed to be home at midnight. That's my car you're driving, and i'm paying for the insurence so you cant take the car for 2 weeks, i have nothing to say to you" then slamed her door. But reality check. I am 18 and am working, i could pay for my own car insurence; which i offered to many times in the past. But she insists that she pays..wanna know why? She is preventing me from growing up and makeing bad decisions in life and then learning from them. So with that, i don't care. And most other teenagers are like that. Pay for the car insurence urself and get the hel out.

My darlings, We live in a place where I would rather have someone be "overprotective" than not be there at all. Look around you. Really look. Look outside suburbia....Into the ghetto, the wards...where smoking crack, shooting dope, and broken families are the status quo. Yea...Those annoying phone calls, the insane curfews, and the "where have you beens?" do take their toll, but behind them all is that sincere feeling that I have someone caring about me. I do know that its tough, but be brave little ones, its growing up, everyone does it...it's just how mature we do it, is the thing that counts. I learned that when I acted like a lady, my parents treated me like a lady. In turn, they laid off my back about the curfew, the men I saw, my grades, the clothes I wore, just my life in general. Your parents love you and don't want any wrongs to come your way. Yet, they cant shelter you from the inevitable. Heartbreaks will happen and misunderstandings will occur. That is life.

Hm well im 16 and my parents are completely way too overprotctive. I mean i should be able to ride around with whoever as long as they dont drink my parents know where i am. I mean they cant keep me sheltered forever. This past school year i started sneaking out cuz i never go to see any of my friends like i wanted. So i snuck out of my window every friday and saturday night. I even got drunk most of those nights, went to parties, hung out with older guys. My parents dont realize what they are really doing by not letting me go out with friends under reasonable circumstances. And honestly EVERYONE i know drinks. i only know of 2 people in my grade that havent had their share of drinks. I mean come on we like to go have fun... you overprotective parents need to give a second thought to the simple things ur kids would like to do so they dont end up going to the extremes like i have. I mean u probably think its horrible but i know of about 20 or 30 other ppl in our county that sneak out all the time! And dont think that you're kids havent tried drinking if their in highschool... i mean there are a select few that dont but come on get real everyone really does do it. If you just let your kids do things then they will be less likely to sneak around or lie to you......

I am 40 years old, and my mother is becoming more and more overprotective, and she told me not to write or call any of my close friends whose names are Rick, Richie and wife, Becca, nor am I allowed to see them at their place of business--Edward Jones, the Methodist Church in Moultrie, Georgia, USA; therefore, it makes me wonder if I should become a non-ptracticing Catholic and become a United Methodist again. That way there will be peace in my family, not discord.

I have a 12 year old girl and hence, this is to all those girls here (IT SEEMS MOST ARE FROM USA)- they say that their parents dont let them freak out with gals n guys cos they are "over protective". Well they mistake their carefulness as over protectiveness. Just as familiarity breeds contempt - familiarity also breeds intimacy. The teens is a period of discovery and curiosity - once this phase is over, everything just gets right. The parents are just trying to protect you from the hurt and humiliation that goes with any wrong step. Even I too used to go crazy when my mom used to be extra-cautious but now when I am a mom, that too of a 12 year old girl, I am able to understand her paranoia about me. Going to a movie with a guy is very fine but I would like to ask the girls in this site, to tell me very honestly that dont the guys try to get too close for comfort, trying to grop the girls taking advantage of the darkness - be honest. Its not their fault either - ti's their curiosity that gets the better of them. Not all the time they are lecherous - most of the time they are curious. This is just a small example. Believe me girls, smooching & petting at this age is real fun & exciting but you know what, when you grow out of this and you eventually do, when you reach maybe your early twenties and you look forward to steady partners, this kind of past is no fun to remember - you'd wish it had never existed. Not only this, there are thousands of instances when strangers have taken advantage and tried to molest you - there are lots of freaks out there who think just because you are going thru a phase, they can take advantage of you. We live in a country where free mixing is legally prohibited and any sexual crime is brutally punishable, even then there are guys who try things here although society is comparatively safe here - there is no dope, no open sex and even then I think thrice before sending out my daughter and then in places like India, USA, I am sure parents have every reason to be paranoid where sex and dope are rampant. Even home parties are nothing but a place for drugs, sex & liquors - tell me if I am wrong because I know I am not, I have seen them at close quarters coming from a parentage belonging to the Hi-Fi society. I knew how some of my friends were going about and those days I really hated the curfews but today, looking back, I feel good - I am thankful to my mom & dad cos today I dont feel dirty & used, I have a successful career in comparison to those friends of mine - I am able to look myself in the mirror and respect myself. These very so called friends of mine would be making fun of me and would be trying their best to get me to sneak off for such "fun activities" - its a different issue I never had the guts to defy or hurt my mom & dad. And I know, even though my daughter doesnt like me setting curfews for her, someday, like me, she will be glad too. I m sure all of you girls out there would be too. Hence, dont have regrets for losing out on freak out fun - rather concentrate on your academics and nurturing your talents - tomorrow when you have a successful career, you are able to think more wisely and clearly, I am sure, you will find out lots of ways to have fun - as of the moment, have fun with your family and a set of very close friends who prefer real clean fun - then you know your parents are also going to trust you with them to go out for movies and shopping, within decent hours ofcourse - night life is not decent girls or boys - even boys should have a set timing to come and go. Once you are into a career, night life will automatically become a part of your life - have fun then. Right??

Ok i am 17 years old. i know that all of the adults who are going to read this will probably just blow it off and thing, well she is only 17, she cant possibly have anything intelligent to say. Well that is not true. yes there are teenagers who do nothing but bad thigs all the time but thats not most teenagers. I personally have tried so hard to be good and considerate of my parents. we used to actually ahve a real friendly relationship which is uncommon these days. Where has it gotten me? nowhere. im still not allowed to go out with my friends. if i go somewhere my mom must know absolutely everything about it and makes me come home an hour later. I recently broke up with my boyfriend of 8 months and i have been a little upset, how does my mom react? by telling me that she hates my bad moods and that im just a horrible person because im confused and hurt at the moment. but i still just take it hoping that someday it will pay off. but it hasnt yet. my teen years will be over soon and there are things i will never experience again. like high school parties. children need to be able to learn and experience things on their own. What all of you parents out there do not realize is that us teenager will find ways to do things whether you try to stop us or not. that doesnt mean everyone wants to but if someone did then they will. By the time your 17 or 18 you realize this. Oh and by the way i know adults are more experienced and sometimes know whats best for their kids, parents can learn things too. your not always right. adualts always seem stuck in their ways but expect their kids to give into everything. i am understanding of my mom. i apologize and admit when im wrong. im even more mature about it then she is! she just gets up and throws things when shes mad. Even though some might think that this time wont affect the rest of a kids life. it will. being overly protected now and being mad at my parents now will affect my life and affect the relationships parents and kids have when they are older. As a parent do you really want to risk not speaking to your children as soon as they are out of high school? recieving only a Chirtmas card and a birthday card every other year? thats not how i want to treat my parents when im older but i dont know how much more i can take.

Well I have something Shocking news to tell all you gryping young teenagers..Talking about over protective parents!!!!! I am 27 years old I grew up with taking all kinds of shit from my step father and my mother. He drank I got abused like I was a rag doll, kicked up the ass if I did something wrong, got whipped so hard you can see bumps coming out of my skin, and I took it all. I still remember like it was yesterday! :'( (tears) And Thank god I'm still around to talk about it!!! Now that was a long time ago... My father has stopped drinking my mother got married to him and he clams he loves me. Well my mom took his abuse to but as years passed on she leaned more toward how he wanted to raise me and it's all !! So I don't want to bore you to death but if you want to here more about this and what happened E-mail me ok...Dkoberose@aol.com...I would want to explain and talk about what I'm going through....if your interested!!!

Some of these kids who have posted didnt say how old they were so its hard to have a respons. I am a parent of a 12 and 9 year old. I did not allow sleep overs till age 10 and am very selective as to who they sleep over at. I think you really have to know your child and who they are hanging with. As an adult we can see past the face value of whats going on. They can yet. We have to try and encourge them to make the right decision, but trying to stop them totally is only going to make them want to sneak out more on purpose. Personally I dont think my kids should date until at least 16 years old. It just complicates things so much. Going out in groups would be ok. I dont think times are as the same when I grew up. We would be gone all day, no questions, riding our bikes wherever. I think there were crazy people back then, but I think they are more of them and they are more bold in their actions now. There will always be teen pregnancy, drug abuse. We as parents need to be involved with our kids. an example; my daugthers friend came over after school, which was not planned, she was to walk home or get a ride to an empty house, she called her mom, who never asked to talk to me, and asked to stay for a while. I made her call her mom again at 5:30 and she is out shopping with her boyfriend! still did not ask to talk to me.next thing you know it is 9:00, her mom just got home and I can bring her home anytime. No get thanks for letting her come over or sorry it took so long. She doesnt even know me!!! Her daughter didnt even want to go home! Ya gotta know who, where your kids hang with and try not to be so controlling and give them 'some' space. KIDS be understanding a little, they love you!

Okay, I posted way back in October or November that I was going to post my oratory debate here. So here it is, what you've been waiting for. Now bear in mind that this is based on my own opinion and i have quoted quite a few comments from this site, so don't be offended at any of it. Again, email questions or comments to making sure the subject is "psychology." Thank you. Sometimes, fear motivates a mother to keep a child close. It comes from love for the child, but can turn into trouble quickly. (Diana) Every parent tries to shelter his or her child. It can be as simple as a roof over our head, or as complex as a mansion: offering comfort and luxury. Here, the child has no contact with pain. But without pain, there is no experience. In this shelter, they leave a window for their child to see the outside world in an attempt to have the child learn from an outside experience. But seeing is not believing. There are those who like having their perspective provided: they enjoy seeing their parents view from their parents window. Others are not satisfied with the window and either go in search of a door, are pushed out to see the world, or invited by a person outside; still leaving a safe structure behind them in case they feel the need to step back in their safe haven. However, each individual should tear down the wall; exposing all views on everything. The problem with sitting contentedly and watching life through a window is that a person will never have any real life experience to relate to his or her children. The children will grow up in a house of their grandparents view with no opinions or input from the most prominent authoritive figure in their life-the parent. One teen replied to a question of how far a parent should go to protect their child by saying, Im 17; I graduate from high school this June; and Im a little scared of the world because I dont really know all of what to expect. There's a lot of things that I've never been allowed to do that I will be able to do at college, and I wont have the experience to know what, exactly, I should be doing. (tigressinme04) No matter how sheltered a childs life is there will always be a window for them to see through. The windows open only on things the parents see fit for the child to see. Some windows are very wide, exposing much of the landscape. Others are relatively small. But these windows only provide part of the picture. A person can only see so much. And though they may try as hard as they want, they will never be able to see the edges or outer parts of the big picture. The problem of overprotective parents is one of the toughest that young people have to face. Unfortunately, some parents do not know how to express love in positive ways. Their concern for the child's welfare and desire to be "good parents" may cause them to stifle the child's growth. This kind of parenting has rightly been called "smother love. (Turben) Psychiatrist Michael Liebowitz, M.D., reported on fears and inhibitions that "over-protectiveness brings out the worst in kids." How far does the landscape extend? A person will never be able to know unless he or she can see for himself or herself. Individuals must overcome the barrier of the glass between them and the experience they must obtain to survive. A young adult posted in response to a similar question, There is a real need for teenagers to get out in the world and discover things for themselves. Before I attended a university, while I was in high school, I really wish my parents had allowed me to get a part time job. I think I would have at least been more 'street smart'. (cub_gal) This pane of glass doesnt put things into any real perspective anyway. Glass reflects light and makes even the most dire of situations seem better than it really is. There is no way of knowing how grave a situation is unless a person is able to get out and experience it for himself or herself. These windows can also only be broken from the outside. True, behaviorally inhibited kids experience stress in situations that most others find un-threatening. But shielding them from stressful events is hardly the solution. If a child is too sheltered, then there is nothing that can shatter his or her protective world except for an outside force. No amount of shielding can protect them forever. It is one thing to see the cold, suffering, chaos of pain through a glittery surface, but when the outside comes in unexpectedly people freeze to their very souls. I went through severe depression at one point because of my easy disposition to guilty feelings, replied Flower when asked about her release into the real world. How are the adults of tomorrow suppose to be confident independent adults if the adults of today dont let them explore the world. The parent who tries to protect the child totally from this process does the young person no favor. "Smother love" produces emotional cripples, persons incapable of making decisions and exercising responsibility. (Mary) There is no way to gain the life experiences that you need for yourself when you gaze passively outside from within. "Teaching children how to cope with the experience of stress is important," Arcus and Liebowitz agree. Parents who allow their children to deal with life's day-to-day troubles help them develop more resiliency and better coping strategies. "Overprotective parents actualize the tendency to anxiety disorder." (Leibowitz) The problem with seeking a door to the outside is that a person may gain life experience, but when he or she steps back into his or her shelter, nothing has changed. Maybe the experience will tell a person to go and close a few curtains or open a few that have been closed. However, when it comes right down to it-they are still in an easy disposition by stepping back into another persons sheltering structure. Many children, from early pre-teen to young adult, go in search for a door or are invited by an outside source to go exploring. They long to go out and play with all the good and bad experiences. When a child looks at some of these situations every day through the same window, the child tends to begin longing to go out and experience the situation for him or herself. The main point here is that people have to go out and see what they dont want before they can decide what they want their children to know. How is a person supposed to know how they want to act and be unless they are able to go out and be themselves for a while? Maybe theyll get to know the bad with the good instead of thinking life is a crystal staircase to heaven. Some parents like their children to go find out for themselves. They push the children out the door. These parents dont want the children thinking life is easy. It is a way for the child to be independent. They will finally know what life is all about. However, this doesnt solve anything. A person can go out and see the outside world, but the protective barrier of their shelter is always there to save them. Sometimes a child wont come back to the parents advice right away, or even at all, but there is still the opinions and close-minded view of the parents to be shadowed by. Each individual needs to break away from the bonds of his or her parents and become a completely independent person. I believe that Pink Floyd put it best by concluding most his songs with, Tear Down The Wall. He seems to know the psychotic chaos created by a parent who tries to protect her children. In his song Mother it shows just what this is really doing to the child. Hush now baby, baby don't you cry, Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares come true. Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you. Mama's gonna keep you right here under her wing. She won't let you fly, but she might let you sing. Mama's gonna keep baby cozy and warm. Ooooh babe, ooooh babe, ooooh babe. Of course mama's gonna help build the wall. Parents are only trying to build the wall, which creates more fear of the thing than there needs to be. All I can say is that if a person educates their children the best they can and let them make their own mistakes, they will end up learning and becoming more of an independent person who will be able to take care of themselves and perhaps their own kids later on. It is always better to teach than to shelter. If a parent would talk to a child, but still leave the decision up to the child, it would be so much more beneficial. However, if the parent is unwilling to see the childs point of view on the matter, then an act of rebellion is in order. I heard of a teen that was not allowed to stay after school for any reason, which was interfering with his performance as a student. If this boy took a stance on that, he would be a better person for it. He was not allowed outside of his house after 6:30 p.m. He is not going to be prepared for life outside of high school if this parent will not allow him out. In this situation, I suggest saying, I know you love me and want me to be safe, I just need to learn this for myself. (Diana) Overprotection is a problem the parent doesnt like to admit. A lot of times its them trying to make up for their mistakes as kids. (Kilnem) The common response of teens to this thought of the parents is, They had their chance to be a kid-now let me be one! (Jamie) If this restriction is the case, there is knowledge that the parent should gain. While the judgment of a teen may be impaired, it is still his or her judgment to begin with. There is no way that a child can be prepared for that kind of situation that the parent is basing their morals on unless they are allowed to make the decision themselves. I would like to conclude with this quote from a young college student. It's a fine line between smothering and smart parenting...I think there are certain things that it's okay for parents to be firm upon, and there are others where the child needs to have their own experiences to fully understand. I've tried to never be dependent on my parents and I like that, but there are some things they do that smother me also. They worry so much that I'm afraid to do some things because of what they'll think. (Karijo33084) This was an original draft, it got better the more I revised it.

Yeah, okay. Some of you think you've got it really hard at 12 or 13 years old. Please. That's just parents being parents. When you cross the threshold into young adulthood, however, at say age 20 or 21, everything gets a little stale. You sit at home hum drum drum watching the Dick Clark New Year's Eve special and you start to think, "What the hell is wrong with me? Why am I here? At home? I could have been at least NORMAL. I think this is a really long nightmare so let me pinch myself to see if I'll wake up and be a normal, functioning person." See, Strawberry, in a normal setting with semi-normal parents, that conversation works. But when you have Dr. Jekyll and Mrs. Hyde literally as your parents you can say anything at the top of your lungs, but they literally won't hear it. It's called not letting your kids get a word in edgewise. My mother would have been a GREAT lawyer. She's so fascinated with what she says, she forgets that anyone else in the room may possibly have a mind of their own.If I say two words about how my life sucks I guarantee she will not let me finish my sentence. She'll start talking about all the kids without parents, the abused kids, the divorced kids parents, the ignored kids. WHile all that's true, and some situations are far worse than mine, I still think I'm entitled at least to a hearing, woman! That's the way she acts when I talk to her sometimes - like I'm on trial! I can come in as sweet as sugar I swear and yet I'll be smoking like steam when she finishes talking to me, when that ever happens. But you kiddos think you had it bad: let me tell you a story. My dad was not half as bad as my mom. THe problem is he always went along with EVERYTHING she said. So, he was never a possible ally. Anyway, I always grew up crying and thinking I was so boring because my parents would not let me go anywhere with anyone, go to anyone's house ever till I was like 18.(even if they knew the parents)I couldn't go on dates of course, and forget about sneaking out. We live out in the middle of nowhere and I swear the windows are barred shut. My mother painted them, and somehow, due to the humidity, they "sweated" for lack of better terms. No prying them open. Not even possible. And forget about driving. I got my liscense finally when I was twenty after telling my mother I would do something drastic (not telling) if she didn't. So what did I do on the weekends for fun? You can bet on it. Nothing. But turn back the hands of time and give me different parents and I possibly would. What really sucks though is that overprotection tends to have a nasty aftertaste much like sweet'n low. You think you're going to do all this crazy stuff when you can finally do it, or you get out on your own or whatever, but I've found quite the opposite. I've found that the minute you get some kind of freedom like that and you've been enslaved all that time, you sort of panic. It's like learning how to swim for the first time. You've never been near water before, but suddenly you're standing near a huge lake. You're kind of curious about the water, how it feels, smells, tastes, but just when you are about to experiment on the mystery of water for the first time, someone throws you into the lake without warning. Without having any clue how to keep your head above water, you drown. So, that's my advice to you overprotected people: when you finally get your freedom don't go crazy. Explore everything one step at a time. It is more likely, however, that some of you will get what I got: the aftertaste of overprotection which is shyness and boredom. You'll suddenly realize out of the blue one day when you're like twenty-five that this is the fifth time you've seen Jurassic Park, but you can't tear yourself away because what else do you have to do? When your parents limit your time with friends to an infinite micro and you have a hard time adjusting to meeting people because you never really learned how to RELATE to the human species in the first place, then it gets personal. I do have friends, but I find that more and more of them are getting married and what am I doing? But don't give up. There is something that gives you strength. Mine is my imagination and Jesus.

I'm fifteen, and I don't really consider my mother to be overly protective. I just find that some of her reasoning is completely irrational and based on nothing at all. As protectiveness goes, she is more so than all of my friends' parents. I believe that it is because she was pregnant before she was married and it ended in a pitted divorce. I feel bad for some of you who have an earlier curfew than 10. However, when your friends are all allowed out until 11 you miss out on quite a bit. I also have to check in anytime our plans change the slightest bit. It's kind of discerning. But seriously guys, ask your parents the reasons they feel the need to keep you in a shelter with no doors or windows. I'll be posting my oratory debate about it later. Look for it.

Ok, I don't really get what the deal is with all these parents who are so overprotective. So, I realize there are a few people in my situation out there but really it's so strange to hear about similar situations. I guess you really don't want to hear it happen to other people. I realise there are a lot of bad things in the world but guess what? There are a lot of things that are out of their hands. Yeah, there are many dangers in the streets at night and in dark corners but you know what, if a bad thing is meant to happen it will. What happens if I get hit by a car or attacked in the day coming out of the mall during the day? Will they be by my side every second. It's so ridiculous the amount of stuff a person can miss out on life because of one or two overprotective parents. I know it's bad to have a parent that is drinking, abusive or never there. But to have an overly protective parent(s) that won't let you grow or even listen to you can cause a person to suffer also. Think of it like this, see what a young plant looks like after you've tied it a bag, giving it no sun or water. Before anyone gives me any crap about some plants grow in the shade and don't need much water, then you've either failed to see the analogy or just wanna be an ass. Yay for you. I have friends that set limits on her curfew but that's because of grades. I don't get why my parents have to be so anal. No, I'm not just insulting them because I'm mad. They are highly closed minded people who fear everything and who don't look beyond the limits of house. Trust me, they still say the most awful things that you'd think was abolished in the 60's. I've always been at the top of my class. I've graduated from university in Engineering. I'm responsible, ambitious and have so many plans yet everything is ruined because of them. I'M 23 YEARS OLD FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. It's so frustrating. For all those teenagers who complain about early curfews... you're still teenagers. I literally get treated like a 10 year. Even a 3 year at times when they still tell me to go to bed at 9:30 or when I should eat, come home, take the bus. They never let me learn how to drive although I did sneak out, learnt it on my own and passed...those dumbasses. They control my bank account---I don't actually spend much because I plan to save up for my future (which looks grim now). When I say control I mean the whole thing---they have all the cards, numbers, books. I have to ask them to come with me to update my bookd or even deposit money. They do the talking and all I do is sign it---like those mob movies where a gun is held to the person's back. I wasn't allowed to stay late in school to work on team assingments although my field required a lot of it. I'm not allowed to travel to other places--- not even nearby cities. What if I'm sent on a project overseas? Do I tell my boss "No I can't cuz my parents won't let me." (By the way, I did have to turn down two jobs cuz I did have to do it for minor travels.) I'm restricted on who I see although all my friends are pretty nice, intelligent, responsible, friendly people. They pretty much screened them off too. I can rant about a million other things but this box is only so big. And please save the "talk to them" which I always get. I'm a vocal person. I speak my mind and I've done it so many times. The gentle reasoning, the bargaining, the plain outright yelling, the sneaking out to accomplish it on my own deal, the final threats. All I can say is that if a person educates their children the best they can and let them make their own mistakes, they will end up learning and becoming more of an independent person who will be able to take care of themselves and perhaps their own kids later on. A NOTE TO OVERPROTECTIVE PEOPLE: IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING ON REPRODUCING I SUGGEST YOU DON'T. GET YOUR TUBES TIED OR SOMETHING. CAN YOU REALLY LIVE WITH YOURSELF KNOWING YOU'RE CAUSING SO MUCH MENTAL ANGUISH. SAME GOES TO ANYONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW THE FIRST THING ABOUT RAISING CHILDREN. UNLESS YOU'VE HAD EXPERIENCE WITH THEM (I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE OCCASIONAL VISIT BY YOUR 2 YEAR OLD COUSIN!) JUST GET A PET. (BUT THEY'LL PROBABLY BITE YOU.)

Many a time it is a perception of the child to feel that the parents are over protective and some times they really are. Teenage is the time when the kids do not know the world completely yet they think they know every thing perfectly well.They need to know that they are at the most vulnerable stage. Why does it happen with only some parents or some children? Hence bridge the communication gap.Teenage should be the beginning of planning for their life.Parents should become MORE friends than guardians of their children.Vibing has to be on the same level.Tell the secrets fo your life and share the worst fears. As for the teenagers this phase of about 6 yrs or so is the foundation for the multistorey complex of your life.You need have a very strong and effective time planning at this stage to live happily ever after.You spend your time and not while away!I'm sure you will prove to be understanding! Every activity results in some outcome.What about yours? This point is for both parents and children. Girija

Sometimes....fear motivates a a mother to keep a child close. It comes from LOVE for the child.. but can turn into trouble quickly. I suggest saying to your parent "I know you love me and want me to be safe...and I just need to learn to do this for myself"... All my best to you all....

My parents are paranoid. I'm 15 but I feel like I'm 10. I can't go anywhere by myself because i'm going to according to them. I can't hang around any guys and can't go to parties or any social place without them. But my brother who is younger than me has so much freedom it's incredible. When I ask them why its because he's a guy. I hate this life and i can't see myself when i'm 20 still in this situation. I'm not allowed to have a boyfriend and i get very lonely and depressed. The worst part is that they close their mind when i try to talk to them and don't admit they're overprotective. If you have this same problem, I would be happy to chat with you: aso4687@aol.com.

Seema, Your 3 and a half year old is still his own person with his own experiences and feelings about things. All you can really do is make sure that yolu are not knowingly or unknowingly passing your fears onto him. You can have try things like the bike and let him know that he is safe and if he freaks out you give it another try later until he realizes that he is safe and that you will not put him in a situation that could hurt him. He needs to build up to this and pushing too hard and fast might make it worse. If the fear is so bad that he looses sleep then try talking and drawing and role playing through the situation first and work your way up from there.

My parents are "overprotective" but I also have "overprotective" older brothers. Several guys have been interested in me, but I tell them I'm not interested in dating yet, which I haven't been, but recently I thought I might be. I am not allowed to go out on dates alone with a guy until I'm 18. I am allowed to go out on group dates, church activities or one of my older brother's has to go out if I go out with a guy. (They are my ride.) My brother's or my dad must approve of my date before leaving the house; if they don't feel comfortable with him, I don't get to go out with him, especially alone or in his car. I know that I should be appreciative of their "protection" but sometimes it bugs me. Recently, there was this guy who liked me, and I started to like him, but my brother knew his reputation and the boy had made some inappropriate remarks about my body to my brother. Then my brother went to my dad about his concerns and I had to break it off with this guy. They guy had tried to start a relationship with me, by coming to my church and then showing up at my work and buying me gifts and hanging around like a puppy dog who had no other friends. Several guys seem to only look at me in one place, because I'm well developed. I just wish guys would look at me in the eyes and see me as a respectful girl who has feelings and not as someone they would like to grope if they got alone with me. I don't know if guys like me for me, or for what they would like to get from me???

I'm 41 and Recently I went to an overnight with a group of moms from my church....guess what...we talked about our mothers who are still protective...One of the women said her mother is 80 years old and still reminds her of the dangers of everything...Know what I've figured out? It's the way mom's are designed... to be protectors of their young, no matter how old. Be happy your parents are protective, there are teens out there who's parents just don't care enough to be protective. (My mom's parents were the type who didn't care and she wished they had cared enough to set boundaries of protection when she was a teen.)

I considered my parents rather overprotective growing up...as a kid, you want to do things like go out late and party with friends...yet parents want you to study hard, and when you go out they are afraid that you may get kidnapped or raped...I'm now 24, and they still warn me of the dangers on the streets and ask me to come home early, but I've come to realize that this isn't being overprotective. As a parent, you're suppose to do these things...they love and care about what may happen to you. They don't want to see you get hurt or be in danger.

I must agree with you all. My parents are far too overprotective for their own good. They wont let me watch ANYTHING on tv that they think is inappropriate (simpsons, friends, ETC). They wont let me see PG-13 movies. My mom gets all her oopinions on this kids-in-mind site. It is really pissing me off, it's so exhagurrating on detail that when two people are dancing, it makes them sound like they are having sex. Check the site out. I suggest we have a full out parent-child war on thsi topic. Dont listen to what they punish you with. LAugh at their authoiry until they listen. Thank you.

i was reading in a mag article that most overprotective parents don't consider themselves overprotective. I'm 15, 16 in two months. Guess what my issue is? {Car} Its the youth accident thing that has them wound up. I consider myself an extremely fair teenager. I can make my own descisions, which involve a lot of school, when i go out, when i come back, who i see. oh, and by the way, i've figured out that when most parents say "i trust you, its the people that you see that i don't trust..." they dont know what there saying. You cant say both of them, they go against eachother. by not trusting your friends/people you see, they don't trust your descision{and thus you} to see them. Note to any parent seeing this: as for grade expectations, most students dont try, thus do not exceed to their best potential. YOu must not expect straight A's out them, or them to become the next nobel piece prize winner. Recognize thier strentghs and build on them, help them to the career that will not only suit them best, but will make them happy. That's what you want, right?{i read that in the mag, i thought it be useful info} Copy/Paste this and print it out. show to parents. tell them whats bothering u. The problem of overprotective parents is one of the toughest which young people have to face. Unfortunately, some parents do not know how to express love in positive ways. Their concern for the child's welfare and desire to be "good parents" may cause them to stifle the child's growth. This kind of parenting has rightly been called "smother love." In healthy families, parents allow for a gradual progression of increasing independence. Discipline, rules, standards and expectations are applied in direct ratio to age. In younger years children need a great deal of guidance and control in order to prevent serious and harmful mistakes from being made. But as they grow in maturity and experience, they are capable of making more choices for themselves. They can begin to deal with the consequences of their mistakes. The parent who tries to protect the child totally from this process does the young person no favor. "Smother love" produces emotional cripples, persons incapable of making decisions and exercising responsibility. A parent who gives the child an appropriate range of freedom and encourages the process of independence is saying, "I trust you, I believe in you, I want you to be your best self. And I am always here to help if you need me." Parents who are unable to do this may make it impossible for their children ever to feel genuine affection or appreciation for them. That is a tragic experience for both the parents and the young person. Young people have a right to be heard, but there are effective ways to go about making points and there are ways which are counterproductive. Young people who are experiencing "smother love" should study their parents and try to understand their attitudes and motives. They should keep the lines of communication open and try to identify the influences which may cause parents to be uptight about some of their choices. The young person needs to find ways to reassure parents, either by showing them they are mistaken in their evaluation or by being patient and waiting for a more effective time to pursue the subject. It is important to be willing to accept realistic restrictions. Cooperation in one area could win concessions in more important things. In some cases, when even a mature attitude and patient cooperation are not enough to change a parent's attitude, it can help to have the input of a third person. Sometimes a relative, family friend, or another parent whose opinion the parents respect can influence and help the situation. If there are seminars on parent/teen relationships offered in the community, perhaps through a school or church, the young person should try to get the parents to participate in them. A minister or youth director could be asked to plan the kind of dialogue situation where parents can be exposed to the ideas and values of other families. Personal counseling can also help both sides to ventilate feelings and cope with frustrations. A minister, youth worker, or community agency would be a good resource for that kind of help. just tell ur parents whats bothering you, see if you can works something out. Keep in mind your age counts. TIP:work out a plan that can agree to. {i.e.: "how bout my curfews 10 now, but in two years from now, it will be 11, or 12{pends on ur age}. This can work with something other than curfews, use the mind god gave you, its just one of the first problems in your life you will have to solve. Ta Ta for now...

Hi. My friend and I are in 6th grade and her mom is so protective of her! My mom isn't protective at all. I wish her mom would let her do more things. Sometimes my friend gets mad at me because I can't believe that her mom is so protective. Her mom won't even let her go outside in her frontyard by herself. She hates it too, but she has tried so much to get her mom to trust her that she finally gave up. But her parents are divorced, she doesn't live with her dad, she has a cool stepdad, a real brother, a stepsister and a deaf stepbrother. Most of the time she is happy, but whenever it comes to the point where her mom won't let her do something the dreary tart to appear. Hopefully her mom will start to let go to her YOUNGEST little girl. PLEASE!,she is my best friend and we can hardly do anything.

Well, I have this friend. Really, it's not me, my mom is wonderful. But her parents are being horrible right now. They check her e-mails and IM conversations after she's done. They threatened to send her and her brother to boarding school if they continued to "act up." When we got out from school, her mother told her that it had been living hell these last weeks with her at home all the time. And as the last straw, they decided that if she continues to be 'disrespectful', they're going to put a camera in her room to moniter her. They want to make sure she's not talking about them or doing anyting inappropriate. Now I know my friend, she's a good person. I just don't understand why her parents would do this. They're nice people too! This is really frustrating for me and her.

Im 17, my mom is SUPER overprotective, i even wrote an essay about her for my english class this past semester, "mothers and sushi", (if she ever saw it i would be deadmeat) i have had a steady b/f for just under a year, it will be a year in 2 weeks. she freaks out over everything, when i first started going out with my b/f even my dad agreed that we should not tell her (she found out anyway) and everytime im gonna go anywhere with him i have to have at least one other girl there with me and/or parents she trusts (a VERY short list).then she gives me the "i trust you" talk all the time, just proving that she does NOT trust me. she also keeps pushing me to get in the top 10% and to grow up and be an engener or teacher, i don't care about my rank(that much anyway), and i wanna open an anime store with my friends after we get out of collage.she expects me to make strait A's, I am just an ordinary student, not a prodegy, see? i can't even spell right. I wish she would let me live my own life a little, she does not even let me watch the simsons!!! i moniter everything i and my siblings tell her and show her to keep her from blowing her top. she is driving me and by b/f absolutly insane, he hates her guts becase she is very often rude to other people. any sugesstions would be very helpful.

i'm also 22. i grew up with an overprotective mother, and a kinda balanced dad. sometimes, i really think i wouldnt have survived my childhood if it wasnt for my dad. he listened. my mother never did. she calls herself a "yelling fearful mother" like she's proud of it. you see, my mother has these irrational fears about everything from riding in planes, to driving on highways, to people of other races, to nighttime darkness, to living in an apartment, to being a girl alone (in teh dark, in the day, at the store, in school... there could be a rapist around that tree over there! of coures, we dont talk about the rapist, because in our culture thats sooo wrong and shameful), ETC. she's scared of everything and so she feels that we should also fear these things. when we dont, she blames us for being risktakers that dont care about our mothers blood pressure, etc. altogether, these somewhat-founded, but highly exaggerated fears have been this cornerstone to her parenting style. fear, protectiveness, guilt, and then more guilt. i'm a graduate of psychology, and i can see how my siblings and i have been deterimentally affected by this overprotectiveness. she loves us, i know, but the guilt trips are ridiculous! i went through severe depression at one point because of my easy disposition to guilty feelings. i used to rebel when i was a teenager, and just do whatever i wanted. i faced the music later when i came home, but would repeat the cycle when it was all over. but now that i'm a college grad, and making my own money, i still cant help but feel like my mother will disown me for the littlest thing (believe me, her fears dont stop me from doing "wrong" by her definition... i drive fast, live proud, have a steady boyf, all that). i guess my strategy is to just not inform her of anythign that could signal an argument or irrationality from her. i.e. i tell her what she wants to hear, and leave out what she'll spazz out about. i value honesty, and a lot of times, i'll tell her after the fact about my plane trip to my friends house, or my road trip with my buddies, or the fact that i'm dating someone who's not our race or religion, etc. and then, she has the satisfaction that her baby is ok and breathing.. and i have the satisfaction that she didnt yell at me for two days and stress about it. the boyfriend thing though, thats stressful. i've told her, but she still pretends she doesnt know...and its to the point that i'm worried she's going to have a son in law that she's been in denial about for years! for the teenagers in this crowd, relax. talk calmly so your parents can see you as an adult (even if you still dont want to be one exactly, i know i didnt!). be honest, whether they like it or not. and stick to your own values. make it clear to your parents if your values are different from theirs. i totally empathize with you all. tough it out. its only a few years. get a good education, make some money, get your own place... it will be over soon. :)

You wanna talk about overprotective parents? All these 15 yr old kids writing their stories on here, and yeah it sucks when your that age, but you are still kids. Listen to my story. I'm almost 21 years old here, and yeah i still live with my parents, and they are still too overprotective. I still have a damn curfew, and when i do something that upsets them they take away my car or cell phone like i'm 16 or something. They still don't like me spending the night at friends houses, and they don't let me stay at my boyfriends house. I know they're worried, but come on, give me a break here I am old enough. If I had the money i'd move out and i would be fine. I ccan take care of myself. i don't need my parents to tell me what i can and can't do anymore. i have a reason to complain, but all you other kids don't need to be complaining so much.

My parents are too protective. I'm 15, and they won't let me have a boyfriend, much less go to his house. They won't let me go out with friends. They won't let me wear makeup. They won't let me talk on the phone or instant message someone past 8:30. They won't let me color my hair. They won't let me do anything at all. Sometimes I just want to leave. Heck, I wanna leave right now.

My parents are very overprotective. I am 15 yrs. old & my b-friend is 16. They wont let us go into my room with the door open. I can only see him on the weekends, which is usually 1 day. They are now monitoring my music, i cant listen to anything that has the f word in it or anything that has to do with sex.I havent done anything to lose their trust. I dont smoke, drink, have sex, or do drugs. I always do what they tell me to do, and I dont talk back. They dont like my boyfriend and i dont know why. He quit school, but thats all hes done. Hes never hit me or disrespected me in any way. He doesnt touch me in any sexual way.We hold hands and kiss but thats it. They like freak out because we were laying down on my bed watching t.v. Its not like we are going to do anything with them in the house. Even with them gone we wouldnt do anything. Today was our 3rd month anneversary, so we arent gonna go that far anyway. If you have any advice or anything please post it. Thanks

It was nice to read all these stories and realize that I am not the only one with an overprotective mom. She is a PSYCHO! I can not leave my house on the weekends if I dont tell her by 8:30 where I am going. My brother has never had to follow this rule... he is 1 1/2 years older than me with a 1am curfew, and he has a girlfriend who's house he sleeps at (with permission!!!) So anyway, last night my mom told me that I had to tell her what I was doing by 10. When I told her at 9:45, she refused to let me leave and proceeded to scream at me, call me selfish, tell me that she doesn't care about me etc etc and so forth. I can not stand that she won't let me make my own decisions. I really am good compared to the other 16 and 17 year olds that I know...I am very involved in school and I keep my grades up and responsibilites around the house. Still, she flips on me randomly for no reason. I can't live like this anymore! Sorry to all you who are going through the same stuff~

where i live, people my age go out a lot and it depresses me to know that i cant do what all the other kids do. im not allowed to go out with friends, buy parental guidance cds or go to sleepovers.(which basically means i cant go anywhere myself). im also not allowed to talk on the phone after 11pm or my parents get very mad. one of the things my mom has been on about a lot lately are boys. i have a few good guy friends but my parents dont think u can ever be just friends with a guy. now everytime im chatting with someone on instant messenger or the phone my mom has to ask who it is. becuase i always talk to my girlfriends i tell her it is and she doesnt believe me and acts cynical to hint that im lying. thats just so annoying but i have to deal with it. i dont no when i can go out because they wont tell me. i've tried talking to them about it but they dont admit to being overprotective and ignore my feelings. instead they lecture me back on what teenage girls should and shouldn't do. as if i cant think for myself and dont have any moral judgement at all. im hanging in anyways i just wanna keep the peace round the house so im not talking to them about it peace and love to y'all out there who are under life sentence of our parents

Eventhough I have a problem and cant help myself...but waiting till Iam 18...heres an advice for all of you. When you talk to your parents, dont blame them for not giving you the freedom you want..because that ticks them off more. Instead start a conversation like..."Mom, dad...could you please hear me out. I dont wanna make u mad...but I really wanna tell you how I feel..and I'm suffering greatly". They will listen to u if u dont come to "blows" with them. And for those of you who are allowed to go out..but are complaining about the littlest things u're not allowed to do...dont complain.You should be happy they letting you go out. You need to start appreciating and think of the kids that have no freedom at all.

I just found out I'm not the only one stuck in a cage like dis. Iam 15...going on to be 16. I'm letting my parents rule over every aspect of my life now because I'm trying to be patient. I have this faith that when I'm 18...they'll atleast give me the freedom that a normal 15 yr old is suppose to have. I'm listening to these 12 yr olds going to the movies, the mall, and their friends house. And here Iam leading a 6yr old life. I get depressed a lot and I cry a lot b/c of my parents' overprotectiveness, but then I have this optimistic view that when I'm 18..they will loosen up a little bit. I tried to talking to them...but they tell me to go away. Iam sooo afraid of my parents! I tried talking to them, but I'm gonna let them rule over me now. I understand they do this out of love, but it is actually torturing me. Like right now, I seriously feel like throwing up. The last movie I saw was Casper..and its killing me. They could do all they want now...but I will stand up 4 myself when the time comes. But any advice 4 me?????????

I'm 15, and I'll be 16 in three months. At first, my parents wouldn't let me date, but I found a really nice guy, and now my parents alow me to date him. My mom is so worried that I am going to get pregnant or have sex with my boyfriend, I've tried to tell her, I'm capable of stopping things before they get that far. I don't want to have sex, I don't want to get pregnant or have a family. My boyfriend has the same views on these issues. My mom won't let me go over to his house, even though I wouldn't go unless his mom, dad or siblings were there, and she knows it. This Christmas break she doesn't want us to leave the house, and when I asked her if I could go to my boyfriends house (his parents and siblings all there) she got mad at me and told me I was a spoiled brat. Then she hit me when I got angry and told her that maybe I got mad only at her for saying no (I didn' shout or scream) My mom thinks I'm worse then I really am, and my curfew on the weekdays, during school, is 3:15, not in the morning, but in the afternoon, straight after school. I'm not alowed to go out on weekends. My mom also told me that my relationship with my boyfriend is sleezy and cagey, just because when I first started to like him, before we were a couple, I wasn't sure of my feelings for him, and she thinks I lied to her about how I actually felt. She doesn't trust me because I wore make-up to school once (yeah, no makeup or jewelry to school) Its really frustrating. I'm not even allowed to go for a walk in the park, directly behind my house, with him, even if they can see me. I really want my freedom, I want to move out. Thanks to my mom and sisters, I cringe at the word 'family' and dread spending more than an hour with them. I want to be closer to my mom, she is always looking for things to say she doesn't trust me, and she doesn't want me around any more than I want to be around, so why doesn't she just give me what I want. I haven't even rebelled, not even close, and she calls me a "shit child" I go to bed some nights listening to my mom talk about me, and its never good things she has to say. I love her dearly, I just wish she would loosen up!

sometimes parents go too far when it comes to their children . we were not brought in to this worl with a instruction manual so they have to do what they think is best but at the same time they need to realize that children do grow up and if they want them to be responsible adults then they need the chance to become one god bless you all.

I feel as though parents have a right to be over protective with their children it is their job to know their child where abouts but at the same time . i think they cango to far with it i believe parents fear that there childrenare not safe so they unintetionally take things a little far , but parents need to trust their kids more and as they get older they should be allowed to have more freedom going to bed at nine oclock is for and eighteen year old and some parents are un reasonable my were they treated me like i was an infant my dad evenwas concerned about me being downstairs in my own house alone (talk about crazy) but they lossen up a lot eventhough my realtionship with my dad is not good he has to trust me and yours have to trust you hang in there . i did

I am a 14 year old and I think that my parents are too overprotective. When I had a boyfriend and I wanted to go to the movies with him, they wouldn't let me go even with friends. I'm not allowed to go to parties with boys or even talk to boys. My dad is the worse parent out of the two whenever I ask him when I am allowed to go out with a group of friends, he just pretends he can't hear me or he makes me feal like i'm or sumthing. I've tried talking to him about a million times but he just will not let me grow up. All is that i'm asking from him is to give me more freedom, because when I grow up i'll be scared to go out on the streets.

I'm 15 and this past March I got a serious boyfriend. I'm daddy and mommy's little girl so they were so damn frustrating that they all of a sudden decided I couldn't go to my boys house anymore since he lives outside of town. I went to a party and they were nice enough to give me a 11pm curfew (unusual) anywho, I didn't drink and they knew all the info I was outside home at 10:45 and inside at 11:00 exactly. I did exactly what they said they then decided that I couldn't go to anymore parties outside town, only in town ones guess what?? no one has parties in town, duh!!! Anyways this summer I was determined to move out a 16. Well In the past 2 months I talked to my mom twice about it and she talked to my dad. It's alittle betta and I decided to stay for awhile until they piss me off enough. Just talk to them and don't be afraid to cry, scream and be mean because you need to get your point across. I did and I've never fought with my parents,it worked. Okay betta go now, luv Gett'n Betta!!*

My parents are really overprotective and I know I can't do anything about it. I'm 14 and I have a boyfriend. I'm not allowed to go to his house when his parents aren't home, even if we're with a group of friends. I'm not alloud to go to any guys house when his parents aren't home, even if it's a party with a lot of people. I wouldn't be allowed to go even if his older sibling is there. My boyfriend and I are allowed to go to the movies or other places without a parent there but I can't go to his house w/ a parent. I don't see the difference. How are we supposed to get any privacy? I'm not even alloud to hang out with him after school even with a group of friends...there again, i don't see the difference between that and th movie thing. And the worst part was my mom's excuse was "guys can't just be friends" and that's when I got so pissed that I went out on her. My parents told me that's the way it's gonna be untill I'm 18, that i can't go to a boy's house w/o their parents. I'm not even alloud to watch R rated movies...I mean, i can see a few only if they're rated R for violence. I can't wait till I can drive and get a car. Then I'll be able to drive to school and then do whatever after school. I might be at my boyfriends house and just say to my parents that I decided to hang out with my friends a little at the ice cram shop after school...Or i'll say im gonna go pick up my boyfriend so we can go to the movies, and i'll just to his house...and/my/parents/wont/know.

I am 18 years old and my parents are very over protective with me. I have to be in bed by 9pm. during the week days which I think that's ok because if not I feel very sleepy. But they don't let me go out with my boyfriend that much. I have been with my boyfriend for one year and two months now and the only times I have gone out with him were like two or three times over the past. My dad haves a drinking problem and I feel like I cant ever talk to him jus because of that, my mom really understands me with what I go through she is a real sweet heart. The last time that I went out with my boyfriend we were going to go to the movies but my dad wanted me to take my brother, I didn't want to take him because I thought that it was not right that I am old enough to go out by my self so I told my dad that we were going to go to get some Ice cream and that I didn't know what time we were going to get back I just left and we went to this coffee place, then we went to the park and from there to subway and we didn't come back until like two hours later, then my dad made it seem like my brother really wanted to go with us and my brother usually goes just for me but I think he gets bored with us and he also made it seem like I told him that I was going to come home early which I didn't. I just feel like ignoring my dad and to get a job as soon as possible to collect money and move out when I am done with high school. I don't know what to do can some one please help me, contact me at this email add it would be great_changitapresiosa@aol.com

Im 17 years old and will be 18 in a week. My parents arent as bad as some of yours, but theyre still hard to deal with. I have a 10 curfew on weekdays and a 12 curfew at night, but Im OK with that, i guess. I cant be on the phone past 11 and if I am, my parents get all angry with me. Also, they dont respect my privacy. They went through my things a while back. I also lied to them for the first time ever and they made a HUGE deal about it. It was that I was going over to my boyfriends house when his parents werent there and they FREAKED OUT. I didnt see a problem with this because they had once let me do it with my other boyfriend. So then they didnt let me see him. So I snuck out. So they grounded me. And then there hasnt been an incident since. So I asked my mom if I could go to the beach with my friends and my (same) boyfriend. I said "I dont want you there at all." and she said "ok. Then I wont bother you." "Alright," I said. Earlier today she mentioned taking along a friend of hers and I was completely confused. I said "i thought you werent gonna go." and she said "no I said id stay out of your way." This exploded into a huge arguement where she accused me of being childish and then proceeded to mock me. Whos the adult there, might I ask? So I want to move out. And thats not a new thing. Ive wanted to move out for about a year now. Ive never supported myself and I feel that its high time that I did. Whenever I mention it to them they say, "youll be gone soon enough." Not enough for me. I need to know what independance is like before Im thrown out into it not knowing what to do. I want to leave, but I dont want to hurt them anymore. Someone please help me. Ive tried talking to them about it, but they get all irrational and say things like "its not supposed to be like that." If I cant talk to them about it, the only thing I can do is leave, right? Just go and not tell them anything? But I cant do that because I want to go to college and I need help with the money there. I need something to help me with this. SOME ONE REPLY TO ME AT Isis5123@aol.com!! Help me, please...

Listen, yes, parents can be overprotective....so talk to them!!!! All you kids are asking for help, so why not ask your parents since they care so much. I use to have REALLY REALLY strict parents. Parents that would NOT let me basically have friends. And the friends I had they had to know every detail of their life and practically control theres to. What I did was sit down and TALK TO THEM!!! Show them how what they are doing is affecting the way your leading your life. Stuff like curfews (reasonable, AND remember, a 9-10 o'clock curfew for 15< is not bad compared to the 6 o'clock curfew I had)is not that bad. Just think, what if your parents were like mine and you couldn't play sports, or have friends, you had to be in bed by 9 and get a 4.1 GPA or higher. "What if"....Now instead of reading this go...RIGHT NOW, take your parents into a living room of some sort and TALK TO THEM!!! Tell them, not in YOU statements but in I statements (it's proven that if you don't blame them, you'l have a 50% better chance of them listening and not ignoring you for what they consider whining). Hope this helps :-) I'm now 17 and for 15 yrs I had been like a prisoner emotionally and physically....break free by talking to your parents once and for all!

I have a 12 year old girl and hence, this is to all those girls here (IT SEEMS MOST ARE FROM USA)- they say that their parents dont let them freak out with gals n guys cos they are "over protective". Well they mistake their carefulness as over protectiveness. Just as familiarity breeds contempt - familiarity also breeds intimacy. The teens is a period of discovery and curiosity - once this phase is over, everything just gets right. The parents are just trying to protect you from the hurt and humiliation that goes with any wrong step. Even I too used to go crazy when my mom used to be extra-cautious but now when I am a mom, that too of a 12 year old girl, I am able to understand her paranoia about me. Going to a movie with a guy is very fine but I would like to ask the girls in this site, to tell me very honestly that dont the guys try to get too close for comfort, trying to grop the girls taking advantage of the darkness - be honest. Its not their fault either - ti's their curiosity that gets the better of them. Not all the time they are lecherous - most of the time they are curious. This is just a small example. Believe me girls, smooching & petting at this age is real fun & exciting but you know what, when you grow out of this and you eventually do, when you reach maybe your early twenties and you look forward to steady partners, this kind of past is no fun to remember - you'd wish it had never existed. Not only this, there are thousands of instances when strangers have taken advantage and tried to molest you - there are lots of freaks out there who think just because you are going thru a phase, they can take advantage of you. We live in a country where free mixing is legally prohibited and any sexual crime is brutally punishable, even then there are guys who try things here although society is comparatively safe here - there is no dope, no open sex and even then I think thrice before sending out my daughter and then in places like India, USA, I am sure parents have every reason to be paranoid where sex and dope are rampant. Even home parties are nothing but a place for drugs, sex & liquors - tell me if I am wrong because I know I am not, I have seen them at close quarters coming from a parentage belonging to the Hi-Fi society. I knew how some of my friends were going about and those days I really hated the curfews but today, looking back, I feel good - I am thankful to my mom & dad cos today I dont feel dirty & used, I have a successful career in comparison to those friends of mine - I am able to look myself in the mirror and respect myself. These very so called friends of mine would be making fun of me and would be trying their best to get me to sneak off for such "fun activities" - its a different issue I never had the guts to defy or hurt my mom & dad. And I know, even though my daughter doesnt like me setting curfews for her, someday, like me, she will be glad too. I m sure all of you girls out there would be too. Hence, dont have regrets for losing out on freak out fun - rather concentrate on your academics and nurturing your talents - tomorrow when you have a successful career, you are able to think more wisely and clearly, I am sure, you will find out lots of ways to have fun - as of the moment, have fun with your family and a set of very close friends who prefer real clean fun - then you know your parents are also going to trust you with them to go out for movies and shopping, within decent hours ofcourse - night life is not decent girls or boys - even boys should have a set timing to come and go. Once you are into a career, night life will automatically become a part of your life - have fun then. Right??

I am working with a mother who believes her child is alergic to everything. The child has never had a reaction, but things like not letting the child have cake at a party because diabetes runs in the family (she doen't bring an alternative either). Any suggestions?

MY DAD IS SO OVERPROTECTIVE. I can't do ANYTHING. I'm 16, and I asked to do something with a guy MY age and he freaks. Tonight I went out with my boss for ice cream and we stopped at Super K for a few things she needed. He got all mad! I even told him we were going to Super K but he didn't think we'd be gone that long. What is gonna happen to me when I'm out with a 48 year old woman who is like a mom to me? He knows her well, too. I can't do anything, I can't ride with my friends anywhere, and I can't drive anywhere besides a 1 mile radius around my house. it's crazy. Could ANYONE gimme some suggestions?? My mom doesn't live here, so I can't go to her. At least tell me some side effects, I'm very shy and I feel this may be why. HELP!!!

My parents are really over protective... It drives me nuts, they think I dunno anything... They should learn to let go... It's gone to the point where I don't give a shit what they say and do what i wanna do... I'm old enough to have judgement but they can't see that. I tell them what I am doing and they can think what they want of it, it doesn't affect me.

I have a 3 and half year old son. Me and my husband, both are not at all protective but my son gets scared of small things like riding a bicycle, or left sitting on a car top etc. Because of this fear , he gets unnecessarily tense and disturbed in sleep also. Any suggestions are welcome at seema_mitra@hotmail.com
