Dealing with strict dad !!!!

Listen to dad! -He's right and he loves you. He may seem like a pain now, but when you get older he will seem wise and VERY smart and you won't ever have gotten into trouble and will be well educated. then the kids whose parents don't care will be having tough lifes..but you will do well! MAN! I HATED my strict father growing up. Not now though. Now I understand that he loved me and I "get it!"-Have a great education, wonderful 25 year long marriage and three great grown kids! It IS tough having a dad that does not allow you to run free when you want. Just know he loves you. Work hard in school, do drama club or sports, etcwhatever POSITIVE ativities you want..be a good person. He counts on you! He does trust you. He does NOT trust that being out at night is a good thing for a young person, and he IS right. Go with the flow! Before long you will be indeoendent and you will make your own rules. For now,let him teach you the good ones to follow and you will thank him later. And be glad he cares! Too many fathers don't!

unless you're over 18, your dad has every reason to restrict you from going out at that time, especially at night time. even you'll be with your friends, anything nasty can still happen to you. my dad have set me the same rules when i was your age and at that time, i was actually thinking the same way you're thinking right now. but now that i'm a mature adult, i'm quite thankful that i've actually followed his wishes. trust me, if you don't get to hang out with your friends at night time "around the park"....you're not really missing that much except probably some girly gossips that you can honestly live without anyway

Your father loves you and doesn't want any thing to happen to you. I wouldn't let my child of 15 hang out at a park at that time of night ether. Maybe if you were hanging out at someone's home he would let you go. That time of the night so many things can happen and it is also a time when a lot of kids get into trouble. Not that you are one that would.Listen to your dad. He has been there and done that so he knows what can happen. Listen to the news and you might understand better.

Your dad is only protecting you. You might not appreciate it now because as per your point of view, he is hindering your hanging out with your friends and hence hindering your happiness. But when you get older and maturer, you will realize that what he is doing is for your own good. What parent would like that harm will befall their children? As for me, when I was younger I really disliked the rules of do's and don't's back then but then I realized that he is just concern for my own good. He is not doing this to punish you or what. There are many bad people around us. Sometimes you don't even realize it.

Just follow what your dad says. Every dad wants his daughter to be safe from harm especially at night. He doesn't want anything bad happen to you because it would be failure to him as a father for not protecting his daughter. I understand how you feel because I felt that way too when I was still a teenager. But now I understand their feelings. Your dad is protecting you because he loves you and he cares for you.

I wish I had a dad to tell me that.

Your dad is being protective, not OVERprotective. You are young, and have no idea what sort of bad people can be lurking around at those hours. You could be attacked or worse. Listen to your dad, he knows what's best for you.
