okie so the easiest way to put it is that my parents are complete conrol freaks and i cant do ANYTHING without them either noeing or okaying or watever and if i do im in complete trouble, can never go out agin, and watever else rite? AND they also threaten all the good in my life so that i HAVE to follow themm... ive thought about calling a child abuse service or watever but i thought that just might be a bit selfish because i have two siblings who reallie need the family until they're ready...and its so annoying because i cant do anything about it (dont ask why.. i just CANT) so im stuck like this for another three years and i really dont think i can survive that long. i mean who can??? if you were here youd probably noe. i dunt even talk bad about them to my friends and all my friends are scared of them. even my best friend is. o and they always go back on theyre word and change things around so that the story fits what theyre saying and they make you have a lot of accomplishments just so they can brag about it and all to all theyre friends and them even if its something you dont want to do and if there is something you want to do but they dont think you should because there is like "no point" (i.e. sports... they wont lemme try out for any of the sports teams at my school and they say its because of money reasons but they pay A LOTTTT more for my brothers' sports EVERY YEAR than they would for a sport). **btw that felt better just righting about it...** but anyways what should i do about it?
TheTeenGirl answered Tuesday April 26 2005, 1:54 am: You sound like a troubled and confused girl. I'm not exactly sure how old you are, but your parents don't really have much of a problem except for not letting you into sports. I know you hate reading my answer, but just let me finish and you can go on and keep being upset about your parents. Your parents have to know who, what, when, where and why before you go places for your safety. So that if something bad were to happen they'd know where you are, and they are your parents and have the right to know these things. If they were to let you run off and do bad things then they wouldn't be good parents, they want you to have a life you won't regret having, and I know you think it really sucks right now, but you're lucky with the parents you're stuck with. Lots of people are stuck with parents that let them run off, I know this sounds like fun, but most of them end up pregnant young, having sex young, and doing a lot of drugs, those are parents who you should be complaining about, but right now, you don't know how lucky you are. You don't need to call Child Abuse Service because you aren't being abused, you are being disciplined and parented and taken care of. I know families can drive you nuts, but you'll see soon that you will look back and thank them. When it drives you nuts, just write in a journal about it, you said it was a relief to write about it, so get yourself a notebook and write your feelings down. You will feel better, so I hope you understand how lucky you are.

Try having a talk with them or write them a letter if you're worried that they won't listen to you. Try compromising with them...like if they let you take on a sport you'll pick up extra chores around the house or have a garage sale to raise the money for the equipment.
