Hey everyone, Iā€™m having a real problem with my family. I want to say, I donā€™t doubt that Iā€™m lucky having such supportive and really kind parents and sister, but I donā€™t feel free. Iā€™m sixteen now and I am not allowed to make my own decisions even when I have my arguments. For example it is prohibited for me to travel or go on a holiday neither with friends, nor with relatives for even just one day, I cannot easily tell my friends Iā€™m coming with them to a party because of my srtict parents. I totally respect their thoughts, rules and points of view, but I donā€™t see that it is fair when they only refuse a ā€œsuggestionā€ I make without any reason to convince me and change my mind. Iā€™m talking generally about how they are overprotective and donā€™t let me live my teenage freely. I donā€™t ask this total freedom, I actually only need some of it in order to have an opportunity to prove my responsibility and maturity. I feel that I need to be free and make my own decisions but they just say NO. I tried to discuss this with them, I tried some ways to show them I can be trustworthyā€¦ and unfortunately it didnā€™t workā€¦ I need your help guysā€¦ what should I do?

Unfortunately kids with strict parents start to disobey . Coz theres no other way for you to enjoy. And i think you should do it once, coz always being overprotective about you would never let you grow and become mature. Sneak out and disobey. Youre a teenager and thats what teenagers do. If you always become a good biy in your parents eyes, trust me you are missing on a lot of learning and growth opportunities

I know thatā€™s what I hear a lot these daysā€¦ But Iā€™m not sure this is a good ideaā€¦ I mean, Iā€™m thinking about the consequences, if I enjoy a single day, maybe I will get punished for a week. I donā€™t know, it also sounds scary ā€œdisobeying parentsā€ā€¦
