I am an 18 year old girl who loves to give advice. My advice will be direct at teens though, since I am still a teen myself.

I'm a 14 yr old girl and the other day my dad found weed in my sisters jacket he went ballistic. He punched her several times and then choked her. All our mother did was say No, Stop,No. Like wtf is that going to do? My dad is a very big and strong man. When I do something wrong like forget to vacume my dad wraps his hands around my throat like he's about to choke me. It's been like this for me ever since I was About 5 or 6. I just can't continue to live in constant fear. The even that happened recently with my sister I just can't seem to get it out of my mind. I get drunk next day wake up have a hangover still remember. Get high still freaking remember! I just don't know what to do. Please help me (link)

Get out of there now. You need to go to the police and tell them. This is abuse and this is serious. If you don't act now, it'll get worse. And please... don't kill yourself and give the "man" and I use the term loosely, any satisfaction. But you and your sister need to get out and now. Be safe, and I'll keep you in my prayers.

What I would do is sit down with your parents and talk to them about how you feel. Be calm and mature when you tell them because if you act like a child, they will treat you like one. Tell them that you feel smothered and would like some freedom in your life. But let's be honest. Have you thought about why they are so strict on you? You could be acting like a child and not even know it. Reflect on your behavior first and then bring that up in the conversation as well. Show them that you are willing to do better and earn the freedom you so desire. Ask them why they are strict. They have their reasons and if you are polite and mature, they may share the reasons with you. Do NOT lose your cool at any point. That will just make things worse if you start yelling at them. Good luck.
