I am 21 years old already. I am graduating college this year. And it is so unfair when my parents still do not let me go out of town overnights. It is so unfair. They rarely let me go. They are being unfair. Other kids get to go overnight without that much of a hassle. Sometimes I just wanna lie on where I am going. I am not laughing anymore.

I'm sure they are love you so much that they don't want to see any hurt on you.I have leave college for one year,and my mother still feel i am a baby,I couldn't deal with complex comunication,and often idon't know what i should do.She often worried this.Now i have a work,and peaple think i am old enough to face the world,but that not true,i am often afraid to face the world.Though you are old enough,you still have something to dealwith.

I am not asking my parents to leave me alone. I just want them to see that I want a break from all the stress at school and at home. I mean, we rarely go out of town because we are saving money ever since my dad retired. This outing is different though. I was invited by my friend's family. So if ever there is something I will spend, it will be of little amount only. I do not think no matter how old I am, I can face the world on my own. Never thought of it. I just want my parents to just sometimes let me enjoy. They do not understand what it is being a teenager.

Why not talk to your parents?
tell them that your ll grown up now and u can take care of urself whn u go out qith your friend..
tell them that they don't have to worry so much about you because u can handle yourself.. ^_^

They know how I feel. But usually I explain it to them with anger. It is wrong but they just really wont listen.

Well, you are acting like a baby right now ranting over your strict parents. :) he he kidding aside, just be honest with your parents let them know how you feel about the whole thing. My mom was like your parents... imagine me at 26 and is already working, she always wants to know what i do and where i am at... i guess parents care is genuine and they just want what is best for us. never ever neglect their concern for you. And Never Lie. What if something bad happens to you? they will not know where you are going... or where to find you.
Sometimes parents are just over protective. Show them you are trustworthy and you will be fine. okay? if you need to talk i am here. :)

its the same with me too!..even my parents are over-caring and over-possesive, but they hardly seem to realise that! moreover, whenever i try to discuss it with them, they always twist the topic and say that i am very careless and i don't keep my room clean. now the biggest scientist also cannot corelate the two things, that is what has my room being dirty got to do with my not being fit for a night stay alone?..actually the thing is that our parents think we are still small kids, and yet another reason is that they love us a lot and are soo attached to us that they don't want to leave us alone!

Yes. They try as much as possible to change the topic. And they blame me! They give me lectures about out of topic things. It is kinda irritating because some of my friends are graduating already so we have planned a lot of outings. I do not think I can attend out of town overnights. Sheesh.

I think it is because we are all girls in the family. But sometimes I feel it is favoritism. But I do not really want to think that way. But you know, they can't keep me at home forever.
