My mom is so strict. She watches me like a hawk and she asks me so any questions. Sometimes i feel I need to run away from home because I hate the way she treats me. Just because I am in grade 7 doesnt make me a kid!! Shes restricted the amount of phone I can use and wont let me use FB and stuff. I dunno why she is like that. I use the comp when I am at my friends place. Her older brother is such a cutie and he knows I have a crush on him. I wish I could be with him all the time. We have been really close and we been doing stuff. I hate to think what my mom would do if she found out. I hate my mom !

You think they may have been tough on you, but I think they do this because they care. They don’t want you to get into situations that may have a bad result for you. I don’t think that’s bad. There are parents who let their children do anything they want, and those children don’t behave well as a result. Everyone needs at least some rules in their lives, or else they’re not truly free.

I never experienced sleepovers. Going to the beach with my friends? I have to tell them a week before so I can beg. I don’t even bother to ask them anymore because I know they won’t agree. I never had a “real” boyfriend. I’m having some sort of thing with a guy right now and they’ll probably kill me if they found out. They nearly did the first time.

Wow! And i thought my parents were bad!!!
I’m not allowed to go out after school with my friends, because I am forced to do all my homework and music practice straight after school, and then when I’ve finished it’s ‘too late’
My parents also, whenever I’m going to a friends house asks hundreds of questions “What’s her name? Who’s going? Does she try hard at school? Is there going to be boys? Will her brother/sister be in? Will her parents be in? What will you eat? When will you leave? When will you be home? How are you getting there? Can I talk to her parents?” It really, really annoys me that mum INSISTS on talking to their parents..when she knows all my friends are sensible and have nice families etc.

I’m not allowed out after dark,and I have to keep in touch. So tell her when I’m on the bus etc.
though I thought this was bad,others seem to have it MUCH worse–so I’m quite thankful in a way.

this article literally described my life. except she has more freedom. i never go out -_- NEVER. not even to my friends houses that my parents know. absolutely no body. the only place im allowed to go by myself is home and back. its unfair and i hate it. im a good kid. i dont get into trouble, i try my hardest (even though my grades have slipped since getting into high school). i honestly hope my life gets better because if it doesnt, im going to have to move out early. im not even allowed to get a job! wtf?? its embarrassing. my friends dont even ask to hang out with me anymore because they know what my parents would say. it hurts my feelings that they dont trust me. i cant wait to live on my own.

If I ask my mum to go round a friend’s house this is basically the response I get:

“Who’s this friend? How old is she? Will her parents be there? Will other girls be there? Will there be boys there? What time will you eat? When would you be going to bed? What’s her home number? I’m calling her parents.”

Sigh. It’s worse if it’s my gay friend. She thinks I’ll be influenced by him, which is kinda awkward since I’m bi so when I come out she’ll think it’s his fault… :-S I hope it’ll get better.

Ladies,my parents are the same, my mom doesn’t trust me AT ALL she took away all my electronics (phone, computer etc) for just being “not ready” for a stupid oral recitation for English in which my teacher emailed my mom which she got even more mad at me, plus a couple weeks ago my dad punched me for no reason at all and he left a bruise (he’s a body builder anyway) this has been happening for over 3 years and I’m sick of it, I chat with this really nice and sweet guy on this app called kik and he goes through the SAME exact things as I do and we really connect it’s like the while world disappears when I talk to him and vise versa he’s really sweet and amazing and I call him baby to make him feel wanted in the world because he tells me how his parents treat him and how he doesn’t have any friends and pretty much to him I’m his only friend, he makes me feel good about myself even though my mom brings down my self esteem she told me n exact words “are Fs gonna get ū anywhere?? Huh in about 4 years yOur gonna b an adult and living under a tree if u don’t get your Act together ,your gonna b working at McDonald’s. and your collage friends are gonna walk in and be like hannah ??you work
here???” She brings down myself esteem and doesn’t understand whaT my school is like
, I go to a charter school that consists of collage level education and I’m only in 7th grade my subjecTs consist of English,Spanish,physics,biology,chemistry,Algebra ,rhetoric,and AP world history and my history teacher assigns us 8pages front and back of notes that WE have to write down ourselves a NIGHT and assigns us a test every week about that chapter and everyday I have homework in every class….can u help me understand or relate??!!
