Q: my parents are so over protective. im 13 and they wont even let me jog aroung my block or go to the mall with a friend it gets on my nerves cause my dad always bring up these stories of about these 25 yr olds who get kidnapped raped and killed i told him to sign me up 4 self defense if hes so paranoied but he just gets mad he wont listen. Please help @ this rate i will be a prisoner without freedom and locked away in a tower at age 45.

thanks ill rate high!

My parents are the same way. All you have to do is set them down and ask them if you can proove that you are older and that you can take care of yourself. my dad was a little help because he would always let me cross the street to get some food at the store or something, and eventually my mom figured out that I had grown up and was responsible. tell them that you will go with someone if it makes them more comfortible. other than that, I think that it will just take time for them to reallize that you won't always be a kid. And try not to bring up that you will be out the house soon, it will just make it worse. I hope I helped, and remember, my inbox is always open. Please rate!

Ok, so I haven't been on in a while and I'm just starting to get back to where I can give advice again. I had a rough spot there and I just couldn't give advice without seeming rude, so I decided to take a break. My real name is Shannon and I live in Utah. I am 15 and I love animals and friends. I love to act and know a bit about those kinds of things. I would love to help you out and hope that I can. But there is one thing, you have to ask a question for me to answer! Just kidding. Hope you have a great day!
