Question Posted Wednesday October 27 2004, 1:55 am
Okay, this may sound kind of stupid but I really hate it... I live in LA. My parents are both in the entertainment business. All my life I've been surrounded by 'the spotlight' (but never actually in it). I've gone to so many stupid premiers and met so many celebrities (which are just normal people anyways...nothing special about them). But I've been thrown into this whole thing. My whole life constantly been thrown on plains, been stranded and bored outta my mind on movie sets, been around people I have nothing in common with (mainly 'celebs' that I have nothing in common with). I make plans with my friends and my parents are like "um, no we have a wrap party" or "a premier" to go to". And I like have no way out. People think that doing this kind of stuff is so cool, but really it blows. My parents MAKE me do this stuff and I can never do anything on my own. I've been sheltered all my life by busy, overprotective parents. How do I tell them that I don't want to be apart of this anymore and I want to be able to make plans with my friends and be able to do stuff with them when I want to?

If i were you and i didnt like it ( wich i wouldnt but watevr) i would talk to my parents. I would make a family meeting and make them find some time that i could have for like time with my friends. TALK with your parents. Tel them exactly how you feel. You never know sometimes your parents r way cooler then u think. [ XoMaddie's advice column | Ask XoMaddie A Question ]

Why don't you just tell them that you want to be able to do stuff with your friends and that you can take care of yourself enough to go out with your friends and that you like going to the parties but you just want to take a break from it and do stuff with your friends.

A girls gotta live!
