15/f
It's really annoying me how my parents seem to think of me as a little girl.
In certain ways they don't - they know that I drink and do drugs and party, they let me stay out as late as I want to and I can go practically anywhere I want, but the way they speak to me is like I'm a little girl.
Also, certain things they do make me think the same thing. For example, the other night, my grandad gave me a lift to the train station, but I had missed the train and my friends had all left. So I was waiting for the next train. My mum called and was like, "Why did your grandad not stay with you? It's late at night and it's dark and cold and you're just a little girl!" I had to remind her that I'm 15.
Then today my dad was passing by the library so I asked him to grab me some books he thought I'd like, and most of them are shallow girly books about kissing aimed at 12-year-olds.
Also today, my mum actually said she still thinks of me as a little girl.
It's really annoying, how can I show them that I'm mature?
New: you cant expect for someone NOT to assume stuff about you like that when most people dont drink and do drugs "for fun."
Um, being 15 and doing all of those things is probably why your parents are treating you like a little girl. Trust me, once you're past 15, you'd think most 15 year old girls are young. When I was 15, i thought i was so old and mature, that once i grew past that, I say to myself, "what was I thinking?" you're in a rebellious stage right now. Why dont you try talking to your parents about the way you feel? Honestly, if you don't tell them they would never know and they would never stop. Or maybe they are just trying to teach you a lesson not to drink and do drugs at 15. That right there is no where near being mature. Sorry to say. Drugs and alchohol are for people that can't face their problems because they are not "mature" for someone to take on their issues themselves.

I'm not in a 'rebellious stage'. And I don't drink and do drugs to run away from my problems, it's just something I do with my friends sometimes, it's just a having fun thing. My parents don't care about that. I don't know how it is for you and the people you know, but where I live it's perfectly normal for people my age to do those things, it's just a part of life, yknow. I only brought that up to try and show HOW they were treating me as a little girl. Don't assume things when you don't actually know the person, because although I used to try and run away from problems, I have been through a lot and gotten past that stage of my life, and I now am mature enough to take on my issues myself, and I do, thanks.
