My parents are overprotective!

 

Check these out, too...

  • Bugged by mom's strict rules
  • Why won't my mom let me date?
  • 7 things to say (and do) to keep your parents from worrying about you
  • Oy vey! Am I allowed to have this crush?
My parents are way overprotective. I can’t do anything without supervision. I’m 14 and can handle things. I feel locked up, and I’m getting depressed.

Your parents don’t keep you under lock and key to make you miserable—it’s because they care enough to keep you safe. Still, it can drive a girl crazy to feel like she has no freedom.
 
Let your parents know you feel ready to take on more responsibility. Tell them you’re not asking to suddenly do anything you want but that you just want to take small steps toward teen-appropriate independence. Hopefully, they will gradually let you do more things on your own.

Hi so I have this crush on this guy at the public pool, he's the same age and grade as me, but I've been home-schooled all my life and am kinda socially awkward. How do I talk to him without sounded strange? And what do you do on dates?
Thanks!




Hey girl, just be brave and try talking with him about something you both have in common. Discuss the weather or stuff that's going on at the pool, it'll be easier than you think. Just start having those conversations and see where it goes. Good luck!

my mom is annoyed by the music i listen to. it's not like it has bad words or is just plain awful but it's not popular. i'm already unpopular so my taste in music makes that even worse. please help! btw, don't suggest any artists! all the new stuff i've heard recently stinks!




Hey, I completely understand. I don't listen to a lot of popular music either, and there's nothing wrong with that. I feel that most good music isn't the popular stuff you hear on the radio all the time, so I don't listen to it that often. It's totally fine to be different and listen to the music of your choice.

s there a particular group of girls in your grade or school that rules the school when they REALLY don't deserve to. Translation: Is there a clique of girls in your school/grade that is the most popular but they are rude to other people? Do they date every guy in the school/grade that think is at least "worthy enough" or they just date several guys? Wear repulsive clothing that breaks the dress code? Think they are they are the best? Get everything so easily when you've worked SO hard for it? If you some girls that meet most of these circumstances and you are sick and tired of them ruling when your decent looking and actually NICE and maybe smart as well, post a comment that you saw it on my profile. Why? I know EXACTLY how you feel. Are you thinking there's nothing we can do about it and it'll be that way forever? WRONG! I have an idea. Thanks to Taylor Swift's influencing song, Change which may change our lives forever, it's OUR time! Please help me and things will maybe go the way they should. Us girls could change history and the lives of our daughters so they won't be ruined as well! We are U.S. gals, we'll stay united. We can do this without a Civil War II.
