i feel so young all my friends are turning 15 this year and i just turned 14!! were all in the same grade though. i just want to grow up to where in 16 so i can party and drive. my parents are so protective because im there only child and they dont want to lose me with all the murders and kidnappers and shit in the world. it upsets me. they think im still a little kid still and they treat me like im a little kid. does anyone feel this way what should i do??
As for the way your parents treat you, kiss ass! If you do something that they think is "bad" then act like you are really really sorry.. Because remorse causes them to feel guilty and yeah.

TiffanyCroft answered Sunday October 3 2004, 4:12 pm: this also makes me really mad.......i am about to turn 14 and i get treated that way too. you see, i am in the eight grade, but i am taking Algebra1 which is a highschool subject, and they treat me so differently. my advice to you is just ignore them, they are not that much older than you! and if they dont stop then just shrug it off!

dancer_freak05 answered Sunday October 3 2004, 12:56 pm: I learned about that the hard way. It all has to do with your maturity level and the age you act. When I was 14 and I would ask my mom if I could go to a party, she would say no. Instead of acting my age and having a nice mature conversation about it, I would say MOM!!!!!!! WHY NOT!!!!! THATS NOT FAIR!!!
Eventually, I learned to show my mom that she could trust me, and I had to show her that she could trust me. The best thing you could do is just sit your parents down and let them know that you arent theyre little girl anymore, and that your ready to go out and see the things that the world has to offer. Let them know that they can trust you. Hey you can even offer to be home by like 10 ( better than nothing right) If they still say no, then just back off and give it time.

ElementaryHustler answered Sunday October 3 2004, 12:42 pm: I've never felt that way - but my parents feel the same way and I have a bunch of friends that parents are the same way. You just have to show them that your capable of taking care of yourself in a hazardous situation. It might take awhile but soon your parents will get it. Try talking to your parents about it, explain why you want to do this or that and blah blah. If they don't get and refuse to let you do anything then keep pushing it, show them that its something you really really want. Hope I helped.:) Good luck xox [ ElementaryHustler's advice column | Ask ElementaryHustler A Question ]

Mercy_x_Me answered Sunday October 3 2004, 8:22 am: Well first off, dont rush your life by. When your older you'll be upset you weren't enjoying every moment. Not trying to scare you but really none of us know how long we'll be here on earth so we better live like we were dying! Enjoy every second, cherish every moment. I know you wanna be 16 and party and drive and all that but you need to focus on 14 and just enjoy your life now. When you become 16 it will be reallly reallly exciting b/c its the age you wanna be at. But trust me with driving and partying comes tons of responsibility. As for your parents, tell them you feel you want some more privelages. Prove how mature you are! Talk to them about deeper situations, how you feel on life, friends, issues.... they'll start to see a change. Idk, it totally worked with my parents. Good luck!
