I have get all A's by the way and I do two sports so I'm not a bad kid! I'm allowed to have a myspace and my dad reads through all my email.
But I think I should get to learn how to drive before age 20! Maybe 18. My mom asked me some random trivia about drving in sticky situations and I got most of them right by common sense!
I think I should at least be able to have a date to the prom or something! Waiting till I graduate from college is a while from now. I'm 13 right now!
I'm not allowed to be at the movies past 4:00pm. I'm not allowed to be on the internet when my parents are gone.
Are my parents too over the top or do they just care about me?

Hi lil e 鈾? ur not alone鈥y parents are EXACTLY like urs, even worse maybe鈥ol! I AM allowed to get my driving learners now though (I鈥檓 16)! But I鈥檓 not allowed to have myspace鈥nd my mum reads thru all my emails I send out (but sumtimes I send a little note and my mum doesn鈥檛 read them鈥ol :P)!
WOW u do 2 sports and get A鈥檚 on all ur exams!! I鈥檓 not that good! I mostly make B鈥檚 and some A鈥檚鈥ey u know wat, I鈥檓 not allowed to go to a prom at all!! They wouldn鈥檛 even let me when I鈥檓 45 years old..lol! I鈥檓 not allowed to date a guy until I ask for permission (and I鈥檓 sure the answer will be NO (lol) until I鈥檓 like in my twenties)! I鈥檓 not allowed to kiss any guy unless it鈥檚 the guy I鈥檓 going to marry (actually that鈥檚 a good idea)鈥nd I probably wont know who I鈥檓 going to marry until my engagement鈥ol鈥o by that time, it鈥檚 sort of being married anyway!
Neither am I allow to go to the movies鈥e hardly even watch movies at home and we're only allowed to watch good movies. I鈥檓 not allowed on the internet unless my mum or dad is watching me and last night I had to do an assignment so my mum had to stay up all night with me till 6 am in the morning which was torture for her! lol鈥e have broadband and she neva leaves the modem in the computer when shes not watching me鈥he always keeps it with her or hides it somewhere where I cant find it. And if I do find it, my parents have told me that I鈥檓 not allowed to use it until I ask for permission.
I鈥檓 not allowed to sleep-over at my friends place (even if they鈥檙e girls). And my parents wouldn鈥檛 let me sleep over even if they are with us as well! When I talk to my friends on the phone or on chats, my parents must be allowed to listen in for some time to make sure we鈥檙e not saying anything wrong (and also I鈥檓 not allowed to chat on msn or talk 2 boys unless I really have to).
I am allowed to go shopping but my parents always have to be there in the same shop or shopping centre鈥nly rarely do my parents leave me at a shopping centre by myself. I鈥檓 not allowed to cut my hair or wear pants or shorts and when I buys skirts or dresses, they must be long (near the ankles) and I鈥檓 not allowed to buy sleeveless tops or tops with really short sleeves鈥y clothes have to be loose and modest, and they normally check all the clothes that I buy. No high-heel shoes or makeup, jewellery, cosmetics, etc鈥?br>
My parents have never allowed me to go to skool except for 4 months when I went to a public primary skool but then they pulled me out again and put me on to homeschooling. I鈥檝e neva gone back to skool since. Now that I鈥檓 finishing year 12, I want to attend uni, but my parents wont let me鈥hey only let me do uni at home or if mum comes to uni with me (lol which is kinda weird)!
My parents don鈥檛 let me stay at home EVER by myself for more than an hour (and they鈥檝e only done that once)鈥ut one time my parents left me at home for about 5 hours by myself by mistake (lol!)鈥hey would never allow me to go to parties or dances鈥ut if I do attend a party then my parents have to come with me鈥鈥檓 not allowed to travel on the plane, bus, or train by myself...my dad has his name on my bank account so I鈥檓 not allowed to withdraw my money unless I ask him for permission and he has to sign it.
So ur not alone! I understand how u feel and I鈥檝e been thru the same situation鈥 really resented my parents before, but I just forgave them鈥 lot of times parents can be like that, and it really hurts, but I just moved on with life!! But my parents im sure are over the top and so are urs!! Some parents are just that way鈥o it鈥檚 a hard life! But with endurance we鈥檒l get there and I鈥檓 sure we鈥檒l be happy with our lives because they鈥檝e protected us even if it hurts us now. But WOW just listing all the things my parents don鈥檛 allow me to do is HEAPS isn鈥檛 it? lol I didn鈥檛 realize! Well i鈥檒l talk 2 u soon!

Victory, don't you think all that oversheltering is going to make it hard for you to eventually survive on your own someday? Eventually they have to let you grow up. And that's retarded that they won't let you go to uni. Report It

Yea that is really over protective. Im sure they just haveyour best intrests in mind but woah thats alittl too much!
When you get a little older they will cool down a bit.
They will figure out that you are going to grow up no matter how protective they are.
Thats how my parents were, but i showed them how resposible and mature i was and they loosened up alot, but when they do give you some leaway, dont take advantage lol
Goodluck!

Until you turn 18 there is really nothing you can do. You can try to sit down with them maturely and tell them how you feel but as far as anything else goes, you don't get to decide until your 18 that goes for driving too. They can't prevent you from getting your license once your 18, but they can prevent you from using their car. Be prepared to have to pay for alot of things on your own if they don't agree.

I am sure as you get a little older they will loosen up a bit. You need to prove to your parents that you can be responsible and handle your self in situations. You are young for dating. And by the way take it from someone who works crimes against children. They are many many on line predators that are seeking out young children and it is so easy to give them to much information with out thinking you are. You play sports, I hope you do not advertise your school name, team name or where you live. Little hints can give away who you are to one of the bad guys. You say you have a myspace, just one picture of you in your sports uniform could give away who you are and how to find you. spec. if your team name and number are on it. And by the way if your parents did not care, they would let you do anything you wanted to do.

By law, your parents can't prevent you from doing anything-this includes driving-after you are 18. But your parents are right to not let you on the Internet when they aren't home-that's the time you're more likely to fall to sexual predators.
Your parents are being a bit over-the-top, but it's only because they care about you.

When you are 18, you are legally an adult. So you don't have to listen to your parents.

I am with your parents about the waiting to date.
You need to concentrate on graduating and reaching your goals in you set in 6Th grade as to how you will graduate. With just the cap and gown or with a few ropes around your neck. Dating adds drama, unneeded drama, and if your allowed to date at a young age like you are then by the time your 16 you will more than likely be no longer a virgin.
Make no mistake about it...at this age boys are thinking of one thing only. So be friends with them and hold out until they mature and are at a closer level to what you would truly want from a relationship. You will see your friends over the next few years suffer heart ache and some even pregnancy, so watch and learn from their mistakes. Take the time to learn all boy not just one...so that when the right one does come along you will be able to recognize him.
Your parents are 100% right, and believe me it would be easier to just let you go ahead and learn the hard way, but they love you enough to be willing to take a stand to protect you even if from yourself. Trust your parents for no one will ever love you more or want the best for you like they do.They are your cocoon right now...they protect you so one day you can fly and so that no one can clip your wings.
Below is wonderful story to read.

Over the top. Girls and boys with no social experience and no sense of independence are the ones most likely to get pregnant.

Well my parents were kinda strict on my sister when we were growing up, and somewhat strict on me. Some people say the reason that they were lighter on me and tough on her b/c I was a boy and society just treats boys better.... that's a bunch of bull IMO.. i did things different than my sister.. she lashed out and rebelled while i would sat down and discussed what happened and why... i always tried to keep my cool and let my parents be the ones to initiate the "negotiations" ( that's what i called it anyway =P ) just remember nothing gets done if both sides are mad at each other! a lot of people ( mainly teenagers) don't seem to know that if you lash out you can actually hurt your situation more than help it. Patience is a virtue! just always think of whats better in the long run rather than whats good now... that and taking on different responsibilities might prove to your parents that you're good and responsible enough for them to loosen their strict rules on you.

Your parents can't tell you not to drive until your 20 or not date till after coolege. Once you're 18, your parents can't control you like that. And your dad needs to give you some privacy, geeze. Reading your emails?

Well, they care about you, but they're definitely over the top. And why would they stop you from driving or dating when you're in college? Once you turn 18, it's your decision if you wish to date and go to Driver's Ed. I'm already learning how to drive, I have my permit and I'm 15. As far as the dating thing goes, they probably just want to make sure you stay in college and don't drop out to marry someone. Maybe you could try a compromise by agreeing that you will graduate from college, but that you're going to date while you're there. College is a time to have fun and meet new people, and dating is part of that whole experience. What your father does with your myspace is fair, he's trying to keep you safe, but the no movies past 4:00 pm is really unreasonable. I think you should calmly explain to your parents that you get good grades, you do afterschool activities, and you're a good kid, but you would like a little bit more freedom. Try suggesting that they let you go to the movies until 7:00 pm as long as all your homework is done, and do this on a trial basis. If you are still keeping your grades up and staying in your afterschool stuff, maybe they can make this a permanent change to the rules. I hope I helped you, and good luck if you try to talk to your parents!

Well, being a teen myself, they seem to be a little over the top. Well, about the driving at 20 thing. You can drive at 18 and they can't do a thing about it, because at 18 you are a legal adult, just like they are. They'll loosen up, probably.

Whatever else, you HAVE to date in College. Trust me, you will regret it with all your heart for the rest of your life if you don't have the full College experience. You should definitely wait till you're a little older till you start dating (it's only right!), but after you've finished college is excessive. Just do it anyway. They won't know.
The driving -- well, I guess that's understandable. I think it's ridiculous, personally, but I can kind of see where they're coming from. I suppose they just want to make sure you're mature enough to be handling a car.
"I'm not allowed to be at the movies past 4:00pm. I'm not allowed to be on the Internet when my parents are gone" -- Well, that's just silly. If it was 6:00pm, I'd say okay. And the Internet? I can understand if it was just "no going to social sites like myspace" etc., but no Internet at all is just too far. Also, are they leaving you alone in the house, or is there a sibling there to look after you? Children should not be left alone until they're at least sixteen. Leaving you alone in the house is far more dangerous than letting you go on the Internet while they're out.
All in all, I'd say they care about you very much, but they're also extremely excessive and overprotective.
