<p>Does anyone have them here?</p>
<p>Or are they the reason why you are here?</p>
<p>For me it's the latter. They are so super protective that I usually don't even bother to go to parties, events, etc. So I end up hidden in my room.</p>
<h1>Nolife</h1>
<p>I feel your pain.</p>

<p>Yeah, so I was reading some of the posts and like none of that would work. Like ignoring their commands? Once I didn’t respond to my cell in the first three rings, and they called called my boyfriend up. Wut? I was so embarrassed and when I told my mom to please don’t do that. She was like “YOU DIDN’T ANSWER? WHO AM I SUPPOSE TO CALL?”</p>
<p>Another time, I went to the movies and forgot to tell them I changed movies cuz the one my bf and I wanted to watch wasn’t on that time, grounded for like three months with the most terrible punishment ever (don’t wanna talk about it)</p>
<p>My parents aren’t overprotective. They’re just stifling.</p>
<p>My parents are more of a “I’m-creeping-up-on-you” type. They’re always in my business and prevent me from doing things I would like to do. They’re slowly changing though, slowly changing. They want me to get a taste of life by letting me try some new things. Everybody says I have cool parents lol, I guess it depends on the person.</p>
<p>LOL, my Father doesn’t allow me to have a Facebook/Twitter/Tumblr etc, because he doesn’t think it is conducive to my learning or education - CC is fine though, lol, he thinks that it’ll motivate me (and I guess it does?)</p>
<p>I’m 16, I’m not allowed to date, go out on the weekends (unless it is a family outing), be outside at night, talk to boys in general… :I</p>
<p>^ My parents won’t let me date either because of what happened in the 7th grade.</p>
<p>Wait, what happened in the 7th grade?</p>
<p>My parents are mildly protective; however, I am able to convince my mom of what I want to do. </p>
<p>Also, they play absolutely no role in my school. Straight A’s in 6 AP classes</p>
<p>Oh, and to my last post - I’m also not allowed to have a cellphone. LOL.</p>
<p>My Father monitors my grades daily, any slight drop (from let’s say, a 98 to a 97.2) and he gets extremely concerned… </p>
<p>… </p>
<p>I feel like I’m the odd one in the bunch. But I swear, my adolescence isn’t like, Guantanamo Bay or anything…</p>
<p>@preamble1776</p>
<p>My parents had no idea I had A’s and when I told them they were like oh, nice. pat on back. bye. lol</p>
<p>I tell my mom about my grades and she lectures me about not everything is about grades.</p>
<p>And then when I ask if I could go to a school event, makes a huge fuss</p>
<p>@Preamble1776 Long story, the guy’s parents didn’t like me and I didn’t like them and then things escalated from there.</p>
<p>^did you mean the phrase: Long story short,?</p>
<p>Well lets see, I have to buy my own cell phone plan. I am homeschooled. (out of choice for high school though)
I am highly discouraged from going social network. I must be in bed by 1030. I can only watch a select pg-13 films.</p>
<p>Really, thats not overprotective. Thats just regular parenting</p>
<p>^That sucks and yeah, I meant “long story short…” I forgot the “short” part.</p>
<p>wait, Fantasy, what sucks?</p>
<p>It seems very strict. My parents may be creepers, but they do allow me to have fun once in awhile.</p>
<p>^ Wow preamble, that must suck. Mine don’t even know my grades until report cards come out. Mine aren’t overprotective at all. They are with my 13 year old sister but that’s because she is untrustworthy.</p>
<p>Kypdurron, that doesn’t sound normal to me… I’ve been watching select R-rated movies since I was maybe 13? My friends did too. </p>
<p>Pft, and my sisters think our parents are strict. I should show them this thread. I’ve had a cell phone since I was 13. I got an iPhone at 15. (I have to pay for it though.) There’s never really been a set age for social networking sites. No bed time but I’m usually asleep by 11:30 because I get up at 7:30 and I need 8 hours. They’ve never even seen the site with my grades on it. (They do monitor my 13 y/o sister’s though because her grades suck.) There’s never been a set age for when I can date (I went on my first at 12). </p>
<p>This thread makes me thankful. I really should show my sisters this so they can see how good we have it.</p>
