I'm a pretty social person, but everytime I want to plan some time to hang out with one of my friends my parents always interfer.They hardly ever let people come to our house because they claim it's messy when all they gotta do is clean it up! Today I wanted to sleep-over my friends house and my parents wouldnt let me go because it was raining, but it wasn't even raining hard!! Everywhere I go, I'm questioned.One time, I wanted to ride my bike around the block and my parents made me come back in 10 minutes when it was only 6:00..They make me so mad!! It's hard for me to show them I'm responsible because they baby me with how they are overprotective and I'm just so pissed off right now!!I want them outta of my bussiness!! Please help!! How do I get them to stop buggin me and let me be able to do stuff with my friends?
Well what they're really showing is that they love you alot and they want you to be safe. But what I would do is try talking to them and explaining to them about how you're not a baby anymore and you're grown up and more responsible. Which is another thing- show you're a responsible kid, so that whenever you ask you're parents to go somewhere, they know you'll be responsible and let you. Or.. do they trust you? Because maybe if they don't, you should try earning some back ( I don't know if you ever did something bad and they found out and stopped trusting you..?)But whenever you do ask to go out, you're parents will probably want to know:
-where is this gonna be?
-will there be a parent/s there?
-what's their number so that I can call them?
-what time will you be back by?
-that they want you to call them every few hours or something
-who you're all going with ( incase they don't know them, they probably won't let you go... )
and I'd just answer these questions to your parents before they even ask, cause once again, that shows you're being repsonsible and finding out everything and that also means they know where you're going to be, and that if you call you're all right and stuff.. hope I helped!!
