--> Relationships.

I think there was a topic similar to this. Not sure. I'm too sleepy to dig it up. It would be nice if someone did though.

[*LaStiNg4EtErNiTy*]

my parents think 8 is late...but you know. i have asian parents. VERY STRICTO.

[Mystic Eyes]

My parents overall tried to be strict with me but I was too much of an rebel to handle. At the age of 8 I would be out sometimes to 10 pm. Even at 14 I would stay out until midnight.

So I think they eventually gave up on trying to control me. I'm just a wild spirit which can not be tamed.

[EmoEyelinerx]

My parents arnt really strick their just overprotective.

[Jinny]

My parents aren't that overprotective. They're not lame, either. Sometimes, they might get on my nerves, but they don't bother me too much about staying out late or anything.

[xannurrs]

My mom randomly kicks me out of the house and tells me to stay with my boyfriend

and sometimes my moms yells at me for being out pass 11. (cause im not with my boyfriend)

I have no curfew when I'm with my boyfriend and I can sleep over his house. But I have a curfew with everyone else.
And 'FTW' My mom has never met my tattooed 6'2 big spanish boyfriend

Their house their rules. Gotta deal with it sometimes. You can always get your own place.

[*suddenly she*]

My parents are lame because they've shut me in this house since March of last year.

[michellerrific]

My parents don't really set a late time, they just tell me I should go to bed but I usually idle more before going to bed. They usually let me go to most places, but for some reason they don't like me going to the mall just with friends cause apparently, my mother doesn't exactly trust them.

[LennonLime]

well, it is their house...generally, I go to bed whenever I want, my mom just doesn't want me out untill God knows when....If there's someting I'm going to do, like go out to a party, or dance or whatever, as long as someone brings me home, she doesn't care when I come back.
when I'm not going anywhere...sometime, my mom's just like "Julia, go to bed!" cause she's tired of me.

[alysaphobia]

I feel my parents are really lenient with me because they know I'm not the type to go out, get wasted and come back at 6AM in the morning or something. They're cool. :)

When I first started going out, though, like when I was 13, they'd make me come back by like... 5:30. ;S

[oXMuhNirvanaXo]

All parents are gay.. wait till your 18 and move out. That's all I have to say.

[cori-catastrophe]

my parents aren't that strict. i'm thirteen and i usually have to be back by eleven or twelve or around that time.

[ReggieM]

your parents arent lame, YOU ARE.

[elaboratedream]

My brother's 19, just finished his freshman year of college, and my parents still dictate when he's allowed to go out and how late and shit like that... it's really stupid...

but they're even worse w/ me than they ever were with him. They ban me from seeing friends just cuz they don't like them, they make me come home by like... 9:30 on weekends, they don't let me spend the night out EVER.
But in 486? days... something like that. I'll be out of the house and I'll never see them again.

[JenxCrazii]

hahas.
i have a lot of work & even more work.
my parents pressure me alot.
they let me stay up late though. very late & as long as i want.
but i can't be out after 11:30. =0.

[*mishyerr*]

Just tell them you're going to sleep, then leave. If you live away from home, that shouldn't be a problem.

[lalalalala12345]

Well, I'm not very sure how late is late to my parents considering I'v never been out too late. I try to go out during the day instead so that they don't start getting nosey. When it comes to guys my parents get very annoying. If they see me talking with one guy they will start asking who that person is and blah. Oh and you can't forget when my parents check my myspace. They will literally go to my myspace page and look at it and see whats happening in my life. Thats the worst.

[PuppyChan]

Well my parents are lame...but not for that reason XD. They don't really mind how long I'm out for.....but I guess they are very protective.

[*Frénésie*]

My mother is overprotective but she lives in England. I'm currently living with my dad and my sister. I hardly ever see my father and my sister well ... isn't a parent.

I can do practically what I want. Trust me, it isn't as fun as you think it is. Having someone worrying over you ... ? I'd kill to have that.

[skillxz]

I feel like my parents are lame when I compare them with my friends, for my friends it seems so easy. They just walk outa the house when they want, telling their parents "im going out", parents "k, be back by 12". No questions asked.

Me, They DO let me go out a LOT and come back when I want, but it takes heckalot of bargaining and explaining.

But then I just think of all the freedoms I have right NOW=car/creditcard/phone/out till 1+/ etc and I'm happy. =)

[ReggieM]

i wish my parents werent fobby, even tho there black =s

[EmoEyelinerx]

Sounds like their a little overprotective.

[hotsoup]

As long as you're in their place, you have to live by their rules. You can, however, remind them that you're about to be a 2nd year college student and they have to loosen up just a bit. You are an adult after all and you're going to screw up regardless of whether they're their bothering your or not. Shit happens and it's as simple as that.

[pleasantlycrushe...]

well, consider you're self lucky...cuz my parents don't let me out at all. if i even ask to go out. they freak, even if im out late with family. yes! family!

my parents are azn yes. they're strict and they always will be, its the fact that they're still living the old traditional ways. but still its unfair and ridiculous. and im am taking that kids advice. when you're 18. get the hell out. dude. im so doing that.

[*stephinika*]

My parents are pretty lame too. Don't worry. Lots do...unfortunately.

I'm 18 and it's such an issue to drive home past 11ish because apparently all the crazy and/or drunk drivers will obviously be out to get me.
There's more, but yeah...it's lame.

[NgocQuyen]

yep yep my parents are lame. they're so...asian. haha. you know, overly protective and everything. when i lived with them my dad never let me go out, i always had to sneak out. he didn't like me talking on the phone. he didn't like the clothes i wore, and even now he doesn't. when i dress semi-girly he gets mad at me. so i tried to dress like a boy and he got mad at me and told me i should just cut my hair short so i can look like a boy. :\ i can never get good enough grades. if i make a B it's bad because it should be an A, and if i make an A he gets mad because it should be a 100% A. what the pho? but yes my parents are lame. it kills me that i love them so much. haha ;)

[USCavalry]

i keep hearing these stories about hard ass asian parents, glad i'm not asian haha. my dad has the same issue with my grades. so i used to be a B student, but he wanted As. then i slipped to a C student, and he kept pushing for As. now i'm on academic probation cuz my last semester was below a 2.0... he still asks for As, wtf does he enjoy fuking with me.

[kalamela2008]

Just tell them your in college and you can do whatever you want.I cannot wait to turn 18 and move out! Only 10 more months! I can only see my boyfriend on Sat. & Sun. from 4:30-12. This is bad considering I used to be able to spend all day with him, then mom decided that we were spending too much time together and we need to start being a "normal" couple and have a "normal dating" relationship. Even though we aren't dating. We are in a relationship and have been for the past 9 months! I think she just went crazy.. geez..

Not even that bad.
My parents don't let me go hang out with anyone. And if they do, only for an hour or two at the most. and I often get drug tested when i get home.
They ban me from seeing most of my friends. When I have friends over here, they come and check on us literally every 3 minutes. I timed it. within 20 seconds of three minutes. every time.
and they wont let me spend the night out.
the only time i've done that in the past 2 years is a few weekends ago when I stayed at my aunt's.
and they almost weren't gonna let me do that. It was my f**king aunt. I mean seriously. She's family.
and as far as dating, not allowed. They don't wnat me dating until after highschool. how fuckign screwed up is that???? I do it anyways, but when they find out I'm dating someone I'm never allowed to see them again.

moving out midnight of my 18th birthday and I'll never see them again in my life.

[vietbabiiix3]

how are they lame.. they just care for you... put urself in their shoes.. seeing their child go out late till like 5am in the morning is pretty nervewracking to them... so before you start calling your parents lame n gay, just think about it...

[nosylilme]

^^ agreed. Most of the time when parents are over protective, they're just worried about your well-being. My parents are somewhat over protective and it bugs me sometimes, but they have their reasons and I understand that.

[mysticalazxn]

my parents alway repeat the same advice abotu life, school etc.
It is really annoying but they are alway there to help you not to hold you down.

[chibichi15]

Well, I wouldn't call my parents lame since they grew up in a completely different country. But, they don't like it when I go to the movies. I dunno why...but oh wells.

[xhidethedetails]

My parents are very overprotective of me. I'm an only child so I feel that has something to do with it. I usually have to be home around 10:30 which sucks but once I can drive things are going to change.
