Crazy morons!!! What do I do??
My mom is a psyciatrist [sp] and my dad is a physician. I get too much pressure every day about what I wanna be when I grow up, whom I want to date, where I wanna live when I'm older, who and when I'll marry, and so much more. They don't likr my boyfriend, they don't like my desired job (makeup artist and part time fashion designer), and they especially hate the fact that my boyfriend and I have been going out for 4 years now. I think it's because they have a feeling that he's gonna propose. I'm 17 and my parents still treat my like I'm only 12. What can I do about them?!?!?!?!

Okay, this is my first question so bare with me. If I go back to Naples, Italy (where I grew up), I'd remember all of the times my parents would stick their noses into my business, so I can relate. They'd always just say: "Siamo unica dificile a aiuto." It means: "We are only trying to help." I know it can be rough sometimes. My best friend's father is a phyciatrist. He's like a father to me now since my parents are divorced. But you know what, I know this really isn't helping, so I won't say what every other advicenator on this site would say. Instead of just telling you that "parents know best" or "they love you and are just trying to help you live your life to the fullest", I'll give you something a little more original. Unlike that obnoxious saying, parents aren't always right. There must be some reason that they don't like your boyfriend. Why would they REALLY treat you like a 12 year old if they didn't care about you, though. When you get those hard times when dad says "do you want to talk about it", don't say no. It means he knows you want to. Just talk to him. But when he asks you a personal question, (how is your sex like with this boy, why do you want to get married at such a young age), just tell him the truth, but leave out th details.
I.E.
"Dad, It's my choice. I'm 17, and I know what I'm doing."
Be brief. If you begin with the details, dad's gonna rub it in.
