What's a good, easy, and cheap present for Independence Day?

How do i explain to my parents that i just want some independence?

  • I know a lot of teenagers say this, but my parents treat me like a little kid. I have no independence or freedom whatsoever. I'm 15 and they regulate and baby me with everything. I'm a good kid, ive never gotten in trouble at school and ive never done anything bad. I make good grades usually. I'm responsible.. I don't understand why they insist on treating me like a 10 year old. I'm rarely allowed to go anywhere. I'm not allowed to go to a friends house unless my parents meet them and the parents (who does that at my age?). I'm not allowed to get in the car with anyone unless I get my license. Whats the difference? ... I'm also not allowed to play games for more than 30min a day and only on weekends. I'm not allowed to take naps at all. Not.even short 15min naps after school. My mom regulates my food. At dinner yesterday, when I was done and wanted ice cream she made me get one scoop and put it in a "dessert bowl" (a toddler bowl that she uses). I'm skinnier than a chop stick. I have great metabolism yes, but I also have great judgement on my own food, but I don't get to. There's a bunchbof other stuff I cant think of right now, but they never let me have any bit of independence or a moment without nit picky regulation. Every time i try and talk about it my moms goes beserk and acts like I'm asking to get a tattoo or something. Like any bit of freedom would be ridiculous. And my Dad automatically thinks.km being disrespectful because he doesn't like what I'm saying. My mom harasses me about school alllll the time. I have a 71 in French right now.. because its hard (I have Bs in everything else). So now she made me spend my entire weekend studying. I studied for 3 hours straight with no breaks and then later for about 45 after that and she made me make flashcards at 11:30pm on saturday, then today she tried to force me to study with her for another however long and I basically blew up. I'm affraid they're going to take my kindle and my phone. Helllpppp?

  • Answer:

    I wish I could talk to these people and explain to them they are doing more harm than good. My advice, stop listening to them. If you start asserting your own independence they will gradually accept it.

sometimes you have to break rules for them to take you seriously. My parents used to baby me too, i'm 15 btw..and i just started demanding rights and i was breaking my curfew going to my friends house without permission. anyhow...just break some rules its okay whats the worst that can happen ?that sort of sounds like me when I'm grounded O.o

I would actually side with you a year ago. I had a friend who said that she was really angry with her parents for not letting her go out of the house. I know why to- she thinks that she is responsible and believes that good grades justify being responsible. I don't know who you are, so I cannot say if they are being reasonable or not.

Start by being independent in the not so fun ways. Do your own washing, or take it upon yourself to cook dinner for everyone. Then perhaps they will consider the more fun things.
