viviena answered Monday April 26 2004, 8:18 am: Ah, but you've still got a while to grow yet. :) I'm not patronising you, for I can actually empathise a bit, since my parents were the same.
Give it time. You've got plenty of time to meet new people, and your dad does sound reasonable. When you have the chance to go out, take it, BUT follow through his conditions to the letter -- do come home well before the deadline, for example. If you're not allowed to go out, don't nag, but ask calmly his reasons why, and if he's firm in his decision, it would probably be best to accept it. Establish your maturity and let your dad be impressed. [ viviena's advice column | Ask viviena A Question ]

If you *do* think you are growing up and stuff, tell your father how and ask for a bit more freedom.
If he says no, then ask him why. I'm sure he has reasons and is only protecting you because you ARE young.

adrienne answered Sunday April 25 2004, 6:48 pm: Your first sentance is where this is all wrong.
Your fourteen, and your not grown up yet. He won't treat you like a kid all your life, but for the time that you are a kid, of course he will. Your too young to be dating anyways, and hanging around boys; I'm sure If you assure you father that they are merely 'friends' and introduce them to you in a mature matter, it will help ease through the kid to adult transition.

AuTy answered Sunday April 25 2004, 6:29 pm: Dad,
Wat up.. man i feel you on this.
I say sit your dad down and talk to him like a mature adult. Tell him that you dont want to be treated like a lil girl anymore. You say he really loves you and if he does he'll listen to wat you have to say. [ AuTy's advice column | Ask AuTy A Question ]
toughkitty answered Sunday April 25 2004, 5:52 pm: I'm havin the same problem! I talked to my mom about it, and she said that I need to sit down, just me and my dad and tell him how I feel. Don't be rude about it. Just remind him that your not a baby anymore. That your also growing up along with the rest of the world. Also tell him that you know that he wishes that you caould stay his baby girl forever, but everyone grows up, and now it is your turn. [ toughkitty's advice column | Ask toughkitty A Question ]
Cspinoza1 answered Sunday April 25 2004, 5:26 pm: Girl get over it, your father will always be the same. My sister get out of school at 10:30 at night she lives by herself and my father has her call him when she get to the car and when she gets into her home. ALl fathers do this to their daughters, its hard to let go and its not that he doesn't respect you changing its just you are still his daughter and in todays world Im surprised he does lock you up (JK). But talk with him about it he will understand but you must be willing to understand where he is coming from.
