Personal > Parents (#16209)
My parents are way to over protective over me, I'm not allowed a boyfriend and I'm seeing him behind their back. I'm 16, he's one year older than me. We both feel very strongly about eac hother. I love him so much. The fact that it's so difficult to see him out of school makes me sad, I think it may start to affect my school work. If my parents find out I won't be let out of the house at all. There being difficult about that now as well. I want independence. I can't even go out for a walk on my own. It's driving me crazy! How can I sort this out and stop them being so over protective? Advice is much appreciated. Freedom1994 - 2/7/2010 1:07:02 PM - Country: United Kingdom - Close Problem Offensive? Unsuitable?

If you want independence and to be treated like an adult, you need to be mature about this. You are 16 years old and for them to treat you like an adult, you need to act like one. Seeing your boyfriend behind their back when they've made it clear the won't allow you to have one won't do you any favours here I'm afraid. You need to start letting them know that you are a mature adult and not a spoilt child and start taking responsibilities. If they are still dead against letting you have a bit more freedom, don't kick or scream about it, that will just prove them right. It may take some time but they'll come around.

it may be tha they know something about this lad that you don't - he may be bad news! Speak to them in a mature way, ask questions without whining and don't stomp off in a fit,

You'll have to earn freedom the right way. If they find out you're being deceitful it won't do you any favours. I know it seems a long way off but 18 isn't that far away. If you're going to unisversity at least you'll ger the freedom you want then. if you're not going to uni then at 18 you can start to llook for you're own place. Expensive but do able especially if you share with friends.
