Overprotective Asian Parents Options

[silent_thoughts]

Well, probably all asian girls know how paranoid and protective your parents can be. I have a really big problem. Hm, I'm 15. My parents still treat me like I'm a little kid. They never allow me to go out, unless under some 'trusted adult supervision', they misunderstand my friends and think they influence me in bad ways..

Also, they really expect me to get extremely good grades at school. I really don't know what to do. Especially now, since I have a boyfriend. I have to like sneak out in order to see him, since he lives in a town very far from me, about 30 minutes drive.

Also, I can't take the pressure that they put on me. They expect me to excel in everything, school/sports/music. I'm a straight A+ sophmore. 4.3 GPA. I just really want some freedom in my life... But there is no way I can tell them. Everytime I try to, my mom would get all up in my face. She doesn't let me do anything. I really don't think there is anyone more strict than her. And I really can't express my feelings to my parents, THEY JUST DON'T GET IT.

They expect me to be some perfect innocent angel sitting at home doing homework and studying, then going on to become a FRICKEN DOCTOR. EVERY PARENT THINKS THAT. WHY IS THAT. I'm sure plenty of asians out there have this same problem. Sometimes, I really admire the American parents and how much freedom they allow their children..

I can take this to a point, until I will just explode and burst.. What is there to do?!!

your parents are not the strictest in the world. idk whos are, but i know parents who are worse than yours. my boyfriend, of one year and two months *as of today hehe* has horrible parents. hes turning 17 in august, he doesnt go out, they dont let him on the phone for more than ten SECONDS, they dont let him see me, they talk ish about me and my family, theyre judgemental, and RUDE. theyre kicking him out of the house because he wants to be with me.. they blame all their problems on me.. and im his first girl friend. he gets good grades *as & bs and one c. hes in all AP classes.. and hes a junior. they dont cut him slack at all. they always tell him to do his hw. and when he says hes done.. the first thing that bitch of a mother says to him is STUDY FOR UR SATS! and crap like that.
