<p>So in November, my parents were begging me to please study the road rules and get a permit. Before, I was too lazy and was like, "Nah, I'll get just it get next year" .. but I was 16, 17 now, so decided to get one since all the other kids have already gotten one. (So I got mine late unfortunately). They were like, "Are you not gonna get a permit? Then how about your license? Your not going to drive??" I was like RELAX ... so my parents got me a driving instructor, paid a lot of money, and I learned to drive. I practiced practiced practiced with him, read my guide book, and therefore got my permit. I don't get my license until 2 months, so I still need to drive with adult supervision for 2 more months. I was excited until September because from then, I can start driving alone now and become more independent as a student. So last week, out of curiosity, I asked my mom if I can use her car ONCE IN AWHILE during my senior year, after I get my license which is mid-September (To go out and meet friends, to go buy something if I want to). And what does she say? ,</p>
<p>"NO. WE'RE NOT GOING TO LET YOU DRIVE. ARE YOU CRAZY? DO YOU THINK I'M CRAZY"</p>
<p>wow what hypocritical parents I have. so I asked them, "I understand you still might not be confident with me driving even if I pass the road test and get my license, but can't you trust me? It's not like I'm going to drive everyday. I'm talking about once in awhile" ..... and what do they say? They still say NO, and said only with them next to me. Quite ridiculous. If they're not going to let me drive alone, then they shouldn't have pushed me to get a permit in the first place. Are they hypocrites or what?? no point in getting a license, if they ain't going to let me drive alone at all!!!! they're still scared that i'm going to kill someone WHEN in fact, I have proven to them about 5 times now while next to me, that I'm a perfectly fine driver. no mistakes, no speeding, stopping when needed to, etc. even my instructor told my parents I was a great driver. BUT? my parents are still scared. wow parents these days need to trust their son or daughter for ONCE ..... driving is all common sense and unless your drunk or NOT paying attention, your going to be fine on the roads .... especially if it's during daylight on LOCAL roads. i can't believe this. i studied that driving manual guide for Hours for NOTHING, my parents wasted money for NOTHING, wasted my instructor's time for NOTHING, and wasted my time for NOTHING. i mean, it's my senior year, MY LAST YEAR, and they're not going to let me experience driving alone as a high school student. totally contradictory of what they told me before. after reading this carefully, you can't say my parents are normal ...</p>
