Look I Come From A Strict Family...
Both Of My Parents Are Teachers...
And Im 13 And Im Already A Total Party Animal...
But My Parents Wont Let Me Do Anything!!!
My Dad Will Not Let Me Talk To Boys...
Let Alone Have A Boyfreind!!!!!
And I Just Want To Be On My Own A Bit...
And EveryTime My Parents Say No....
We End Up In A Fight...!
What Should I Do...!
You are thriteen, you certainly aren't a little girl, but you certainly are't ready to be a party animal either.
Relax, have some respect for your parents and speak to them more calmly. Treating them with respect now, will help them treat you with respect as you get older.
No is something every teenager hears, sometimes often. The smart ones know that loosing a battle is sometimes part of winning the war. Behave well and avoid fights and you'll hear yes more often. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]

The reason why your parents treat you like a child is because no matter how old you are, you're still their baby. Honestly, you're still 13 and very young, but I understand that you want to have fun and just be a teenager. In order to get what you want from your parents, the best thing to do is sit them down and explain what you want, and why you deserve it. I know it'll be hard, but try not to raise your voice because then your parents will just completely shut you out and will stop listening to what you have to say. My parents were very strict until I started talking to them, rather than arguing. Hope I helped! [ raebabyyyy's advice column | Ask raebabyyyy A Question ]

first of all... not to judge you
but it seems like you might yell back at your parents
i am also a younger teenager so the appropraite thing to do is stay calm.
If your parents are teachers then the last thing they want to do is come home to a whining kid (not in a rude way, everyone whines)
this might sound stupid but try writing a 5 paragraph essay
it is a mature, orginized way to show your parents that you are mature
if not then i will write it for you.
send what you want in it to mrhlw0731@aol.com
then your email address then i will create a persuasive essay for you.
why am i doing this you ask? because i know how it feels... but dad is a very strong christian and he will call the guy to come to my house so that he can have the "protect my daughter" talk
i'll help ya

Like, don't yell or shout or use that famous line 'But all my friends do!' As hard as it may be, if your parents still say no then surprise them by backing down. Then you're not fighting and you've exhibited some maturity which will make them more likely to let you do things in the near future.
Trust me on this: I've been there and it definitely helps to back down sometimes.
Good luck! [ xlovexx463's advice column | Ask xlovexx463 A Question ]
