  • I'm sorry, but I cannot visit that website. I get covered in spam for months whenever I do that! I had some questions for you. Then it occured to me that the questions I have are ones you should be asking your parents. It's not fair that you should be handed such vague reasons for not being allowed to do anything, so why not ask them specific questions like these: 1- You say I've been behaving poorly. Would you please give me specifics, so that I don't repeat them? 2- I'd like to go out. If you want, you can choose who I go with tonight (I realize this isn't a perfect idea, but at least you might get out of the house). 3- Is the reason you won't let me go out because you don't like/trust my friends? 4- Is it because you're afraid I'll get hurt, or into a car accident? 5- What can I do to earn your trust? Can we set a time to review my behavior, so that I feel like I have something to look forward to? The thing is, most parents DO have good reasons not to let a child go out unsupervised. But putting a child off indefinitely isn't fair, either. Moreover, it lacks SERIOUS communication. How can you earn their trust if they hide behind excuses and never tell you what is wrong? Perhaps you could ask them that, as well. +5
  • My parents were very strict too. My advice would be to go with the flo and do not fight them because they will just become more strict. If you have patience and don't fight the issue they will let up because that will cause them to trust you more. Patience will show maturity on your part which will set your parents more at ease.
  • my advice: I think you should talk to your school counselor about this. Maybe you've got to get involved with more formal school related activities if you want to get out of the house.
  • I know that parents being strict really sucks. But this is just a general guesse to why they are the way they are. They are your parents.. they love you very much and right now the world is very hectic and crazy and alot of people have been going missin and bad things have been happening to them. Im sure your parents are just trying to make sure you are safe and the safest place for you to be is home. I have a one year old and if anything were to happen to her my world would end. Just know they love you and soon enought you will be old enough to be on your own. Just enjoy being young.
  • Ask your parents to join you in writing a contract that states your responsibilities and your privileges. Make sure it states how you must behave to earn the privilege of going out with your friends, or other activities you want to enjoy.
