I am the only person whos parents NEVER leave them alone!?!?! My parents are constantly on my back about playing certain sports that I don't wanna play. Or dressing how I don't wanna dress. No matter how I act.. my mom always has to citicize me (I dunno if I spelled that right!) Anyways.. I am so sick of my parents acting like this. Everytime I wanna go anywhere they have to know everything!! I know that they have to know some details but its things that are stupid like, "I want the 1st and last names and phone numbers of everyone you'll be with tonight." I mean come on... thats just 2 much info. Maybe I am over reacting.. but I feel so trapped by my parents!! What can I do?? I just don't think its normal when your parents act like mine do. How can I get them off my back!!!!!
I totally know how you feel. Mine are the same way, they just want to make your life miserble!! Or, that's the way it feels. I hate it when they act that way because I like to dress in my own style and my mom just feels like I'm trying to get attention out some- how, which I am NOT! Also, she doesn't like my music......my style of movies I watch, my friends. IT does get old. But probably a lot of teens go through this issue!! I guess the point I'm trying to make, is......we just have to live with it until we move out!! lol.

My Dad is an *******. He makes me depressed. Yells at me all the time, tells me how stupid and worthless I am. And sometimes even hits me. He never believes a word I say. Calls me a worthless lying *****. I want to get out of here. God is torching me. I want to die and be with my Mom in heaven. But, I don't think I'll go to heaven but anyway. My Dad is an *******. Kill me now. -Sunset
You're parents are just trying to keep you safe. Yeah, it can get annoying, but just go with the flow. Don't be so rebellious. The less you resist the more trust they'll have in you. Just tell them respectfully how you feel about the sports and clothes. Don't dress like a hoochie(Not saying you do). Dress appropriate but how you want to at the same time. Good Luck!

Can't you like have some car place take it out or do it yourself and just say someone jacked it?

(I didn't even read it all) Well not alone anymore my mom and dad almost never leave me alone espeacley my mom. she nages my about wat im waring or the stupid theings i say(i dont thing are stupid)and always bugs my bro. about who his friends are wat hes doing (really on the computer-thinks hes looking at porn-hes NOT hes not dumb)
so your not alone but you got it bad-i think you should do something to show them you are your own persone or see what they do when you dont lisen. (if you've tied so sorry i dont know)
*sighs* My parents had security cameras put in the hanging wall urns outside my bedroom window, on the porch...they even had infrared or some sort of nightvision thingy! Thought I was sneaking out...I was filling the birdfeeders, for heaven's sake. *sighs again* Love, Jen.

My parents are like that, maybe even stricter. They want to know where you ae because you are their child and they love you. They want to make sure you're safe and not out partying or something like that. Thank God that you have parents that care about you because some people don't have good parents or any parents at all.
Look at society today. Everybody is having sex, on drugs and doing things that parents never even dreamed of doing. That is why parents ask so many questions. They love you, they respect you and although it'll drive you absolutely NUTS and they sometimes don't know anythingbut you'll understand when you have kids.
1. To VoiceInACrowd: I'm truly sympathetic about what you have been going through. I don't expect to understand completely how hard this is for you, but to a certain point I understand it perfectly. This statement should become self-explanitory if you keep reading.
2. Parents can be suffocating! I know the trouble seems the worst when it's your trouble. As if nobody has parents worse at sticking their nose where it's not wanted than your parents. They just do those annoying things because they want you to end up with a good life. I don't like the questions and the nosiness any more than you do, but when I try to think of when I shall someday have my own children, I see myself being annoying and nosy too!
I keep trying to think of a better solution. I haven't come up with one yet. I have only come up with a combination of many small things. But you know what? No matter how I raise my kids they're going to find some reason to resent me during their teen years. It's irritating to hear this,( ) but it's truth: almost everybody goes through the "go away and LET ME BREATHE!" phase. What do I mean by "almost everybody"? Well, usually the kids who are allowed to run wild most of their life have parents who don't really notice or care about one thing or another.
Maybe the parents don't notice or care about human tendency to ignore the rules if they're never taught to follow them.
Maybe the parents don't notice or care about their child's well-being.
Whether it's the first, the last, or anything in between is NOT for me to say.
3. Who I resent and a short description of why: I resent my mom for all the small, annoying things that she does just to make me mad. I resent my dad for being too scared to be a father to me and never trying to be a part of my life (and a little for him saying the Backstreet Boys were "evil-looking hoodlums" ). I resent my maternal step-grandmother for being old, old fashioned, for stealing me away when I was young and for abusing me. I resent my maternal grandfather for abusing my whole family (except my dad, of course, because he wasn't around) and making everybody's life miserable.
Omg you think you've got it bad...my parents are prison-guards. I'll be lucky to even get out of the house, because my parents make me clean up after their messes. And not to mention they are total hypocrites. You should meet my mom. She is waaayyyyy over-protective. I guess I could tell you that she is really into Catholisism (no offense to anyone, and no offense to God). I've got nothing against the church, but she takes things way out of proportion and it's like she made her own 1,000,000 Commandments. She is so strict. My dad on the other hand doesn't really care about what I do, but when my mom comes around, it's like he's scared of her, so he starts yelling at me and he makes me do all this stuff. Then there's this whole thing where my dad gets so out of control to the point that he starts beating me up. Once I tried calling the police, but my dad threw the phone out of my hands and he started choking me. Meanwhile my mom spoke to 911 people as if she was the one calling in an emergency. Soon enough the police showed up and I was arrested for "kicking" my dad. (What really happened was, I was on the couch and he was on top of my hitting me. So I stuck my foot out and pushed in efforts to get him off of me). So then I had to go to a Juvinile Disciplinary Center (a jail for minors). Isn't that awful? I got sent to jail for being abused!! No one has a clue what this has done to me...I'm not a bad person. I've tried talking to counselers, and to the police individually with my softball coach, but nothing was done. They all fell for my parents lies, like usual. What kind of Law Enforcement is there in the United States? I wonder how many other kids are being put through this just like me...
