WARNING: Okay this WILL sound to you like a moany teen going on about how hard life is and how no one understands them... WHY DOES NO ONE TRUST ME? My parents. They think if I go out to town for a few hours ill end up neglecting my education etc and ruining my life etc and its seriously annoying. I mean what am I supposed to do but sit around and DO NOTHING. Its so boring!! They say if i go to town too much then ill end up an antisocial fucked up drugged up pregnant bitch. So I cant go to town. Cant go to any parks. Cant go to most places. Its driving me MAD!! see look I have two pencils in my ears!! TWO PENCILS!! I need those for art! Think of the risks - my ear could stick to the pencil and then I go to draw and find an ear on the end of it!! Think of the emotional damage... And (lucky you) it doesnt stop there. Why do i get thrown out of everywhere? Im not loud. Not in your face. Just to sit and talk to my friends its not possible... (this is at lunchtime btw) THERE ARE NO DECENT PARKS! WHERE THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO GO?! Then people start moaning about how teens are always loitering. Well thats because theres nothing to bloody do.
young and hormonal, ah those were the days I'd not be happy with my lass hanging about street corners either tbh, you think you'll be fine but your parents know better see because they're older and wiser.
I dont want to hang around street corners... I want to go to town. Do some window shopping, go to the park/valley thing. Go to the lakes... I even asked if they could come as well so they could see what it'd be like.
Why don't you go and sit out in front of your local Tesco Metro? That's what the young 'uns round here do. They seem to love it there. I think it's the hypnotic sliding doors
we donts gots the sliding doors... Actually i think we may do... Hmmmm i dont actually know!!! No i think we do have them but Tesco suck and i am planning to boycott them. Do Sainsburys have sliding doors?
When I was a teenager, I would spend most of my time listening to Nirvana and 4 non blondes whilst playing sonic 2 on the megadrive in the bedroom. We had a few chics in at the time. Well, it was the nineties. Your parents do trust you but they are afraid you might get stabbed or shot by the increasing number of gangs. Think yourself fortunate you have parents that care. My parents didn't. I was in care. My parents would probably have traded me in for a Cliff Richard LP if they had the choice. Once you get to 16, they may increase your freedom.
of course im glad they care but i feel suffocated... I think im gonna have to arrange to do things in the weekdays when they're not here. and for the reccord MY BROTHER GOES OUT WAY MORE THAN ME!! He goes to town with his friend with NO arguement but i cant. Now the only difference i can see is our gender (we're twins, same age etc) I feel crap if i stay in all weekend I really feel like a loser with no friends and it'll sound stupid if i tell them.
i was the sort of teenager parents cream their pants to have. they didn't trust me, either. i never got in trouble, but that's just because they were always around. the MOMENT i got time to myself, i proved exactly how untrustworthy i was.
bTW, the sex totally counts. you're female. more people want a piece of you than will ever want a piece of your brother.
Yeah but they're not gonna get a peice are they? And my parents say they trust me that i wont go out and get pregnant and have underage sex but they still wont let me go out... I feel really bad cos of it
I think you need to ask them if you can take a holiday with your mates. They might accept. When I was a teenager, life was grim. If the spots didn't afflict my face, it was the constant reminder that I was just a case number on social services books. Parents can seem like they are deliberately being unfair. Sometimes they are wrong. Maybe a long heart to heart talk with your old man. He might say yes to a holiday affectively overruling your mother's decision.
My mums not the one thats against it all... She'll support my dad but hes the one thats against it. And my mum wont let me have dreads while my dad doesnt mind so between them i have NO DREADS AND NO LIFE!!!!
I randomly decided this was the first post I'd read...and it made me smile, so thank you should also probably say thank you to joana newsom as she's playing, and also to the nice glass of rioja Recently was chatting to a girlfriend of a friend of mine...they had just got engaged. She's 19, and she reminded me of being in that teenager turmoil and how happy i felt! i still feel happy, don't get me wrong...but my degree really knocked me back. anyway, on a more helpful note I think back which moments really counted and it was when I appeared adult in my aunts eyes ...and much much more when I had those beautiful experiences that stick in our minds...those moments where we see the sun rise, feel arms around us, hear the first birds song; so when we're in a situation like myself I can smile and know there are more of those moments to come
They love you! My daughter is 26 and my son is 23 and I still worry about them. One day you'll probably have a 14yr old daughter and though you won't believe it now you'll be just the same with her as your parents are with you now.
Now I know you're Indian that makes a lot of sense. Eveny Asian parent I've ever known, my Dad included, is hugely education obsessed. It's probably why Indians do better at school than than any other ethnic group in Britain. It might seem annoying at the time, but looking back, I'm thankful for it. The first word I probably ever said was Cambridge. It was all about get your As, work hard, get into Cambridge, get a 1st. Having been there, done that, it was a lot of pressure, but I'd do it all again if I had to. And you know what? If I ever have kids, I'll probably put them through it too :tongue:
yes but I dont do any education at home either... I just go on the internet and watch tv and sleep and that sorta stuff... Dunno what education has to do with it. Of course i do do my hwk etc and that sorta thing - i just wish they knew what it was like... and now my dad has been SNOOPING THROUGH MY LAPTOP!!! I feel outraged. This is all ive got and even this is getting ruined. No wait. Outraged isnt the right word. Im weary of it all now, tired of having to argue or persuade or try and try and get some friends and fit in. Gosh ya got me crying now...
