What do your parents not let you do. Options

[ReggieM]

Well i know most of you are asian or from asian decent so that means that your parents are kinda timid about letting you do some things that most other kids do(American). My parents are like that cept there not azn and there not used to "American Teen culture" or they simple dont care. why is this in the girls forum? IDK I will have more responses i suppose.

Well im not aloud to go out, they think im gunna do something bad lol or drugs and im a seinor now... it really sucks but when i do go out I GO OUT.

Please dont respond by saying that your parents dont let u do drugs or have sex or drink, really pointless to say that whos parents does....?

[-sincerely]

i'm pretty much allowed to do anything, as long as i'm with a friend. i'm trusted enough not to smoke, do drugs, etc. and i don't want to, either. it's just gross.

[ReggieM]

I would never smoke or do drugs or anything but i guess they dont wanna risk it. Like they dont really like me going to friends house at night just to hang out . I dont think they even like the whole "hanging out" idea. They tell me to study when they deny me access to go T_T

[ksoyeah]

I'm not allowed to do ANYTHING.
If they knew I was posting on here, I'd like...be disowned.

That.
But I'm allowed to go out and stuff.
Only because I don't often and because I like to stay at home.
Just I can't go out with boys.

[kimmytree]

My parents main thing is what I might do on the internet.
I'm not allowed to chat/talk to anyone.... AT ALL.
So I have to sneak on to this website.
I cant have a myspace, even though I still do.
I've never been allowed to go to a slumber party, or spend the night at someones house.
I'm very rarely allowed to go to friends houses.
I'm allowed to drive, just not without them being in the car.

And the list goes on and on.
But for some reason, I'm allowed to date. o_O
I'm 17 btw.

[annalucky]

- no slumber parties.
- don't talk to boys.
- don't drive friends around.
- rarely allowed to friends' houses.
- No dating.
- have to beg to go to dances.
- No playing cards: thinks I'm gonna gamble.
- Don't talk on the phone for long durations. long to them would be like more than 10 minutes.

haha, there's way more. I know they would disapprove of me being on here. But, I just don't tell them what I do or let them see me. My parents are super strict.

[ReggieM]

Morgan i will them that you're posting here...

[*Infinite.*]

Uhm actually at one point in time my parents actually wanted me to get out of the house and do something then stay home, but I didn't have anything to do so it never really happend.

Now a days though I guess I don't really go out and do anything still but its not really my parents. Somewhat it kind of is because I have to stay home and watch my younger brother a lot.. Their not scared i'm going to go out and do drugs or anything though.

[miiichellley]

Post pictures of myself online.
Even though i do. They caught me and forced me to take it down but my parents arn't very computer-genic so they wouldn't know. And they don't. Im keeping it that way.

[Simba]

Moved to Relationships.

[multifaceted]

actually they let me do a lot of things like go out at night and com back until 12 alone and other things but i don't take advantage of those rules. i don't go out every night... in fact i like home better. im a nerd i know

and yes i am only 15 and 100 percent asian.

[unconfirmed_exis...]

I'm mostly vietnamese.

Hrmm parents are somewhat strict.
My dad's the more bizzare over protective asian parent.
My mom's more lean on things but she has a limit on how much she can take.
And since my dad trusts me I usually
get around some of his rules depending on his mood.

Rules include: No dating before I go to college..
Hrmmm not to mention no drugs, no boy's house,
it doesn't even need to be mentioned to be known
that they don't want me having sex,
they don't want me going outside by myself sometimes,
having guys over for sleep overs.. All sorts of things really.

But they're giving me more responcibilities as I grow up a bit,
so that's good. ex: like instead of learning how to drive by 18,
my dad decided to cut the age limit down so I could learn by
next summer before my senior year!

[lovescream]

they basically just wont let me have a bf until im 21, won't let me go to a friend's house that she's not familiar with their parents yet, won't let me have friends OVER that she's not familiar with their parents, no talking on the phone with boys (she listens into my conversations). and since i do sometimes, she wont let me have a phone yet. basically no FRIENDS that are boys.. if she sees me hanging out with a boy, i better hope he can run fast.

My mom also thinks I don't know what SEX or DRUGS are. So we never really had "the talk" yet about sexytime or talking about using alcohol/drugs. wtf

and no talking to strangers online (like i do.. a lot..)

>< wow. Jeez. I'm like 100% asian though. hehhh

[*My Cinderella.*]

My parents are pretty flexible with the rules:

-no staying out later than 6:30 (other than on fridays and on the weekends.)

-no traveling too far away from home.

-no sleepover at someones house. (Unless I'm really close to them.)

-no wearing "flashy clothes"

And that's about it

[littleswallow]

- no boyfriends until I am out of college and have a stable job
- can't go out unless I'm with friends they know and trust
- no drugs, no alcohol, no smoking (I actually agree with them in this)
- I'm not allowed to go out without telling them
- can't go to a place too far from home

... and of course, last but not the least....

- I can't fail any of my subjects and should always be part of the Honor's List.

... If I did fail... I would be like... a disgrace or something.

[*suddenly she*]

I'm not allowed to date, go out, and go to Sunday school. Of course, I'm not allowed to get involved with drugs and alcohol or sex. The only music I'm allowed to listen to is classical and traditional stuff. I've never been allowed to a sleepover. I can't go to dances and school activities (like fundraisers) unless they know the adult supervisors are watching me.

I can't go on walks alone, and I'm not allowed to be home alone. I can't use the phone unless they know exactly who I'm talking to, what we're talking about, and unless I let them listen in. I'm permanently banned from any sort of instant messenger (haha), and I can't have personal websites. For anything that involves a password, they have to know the password. I can't post pictures online or send pictures.

I can't have my own email or account to anything. Nothing I own is actually mine, it's theirs. I sometimes can't close the door to "my room" (it's actually their room, and I'm not allowed to use the radio or cd player... or the snooze button, and etc. There's tons.

Basically, my parents are hilarious.

[oOjenniOo]

i've earned a lot of my parent's trust. i get good grades, i get things done and have never been in trouble with the law or school or anything.

my curfew is 11 and i can go out whenever as long as im back by 11. i dont even have to tell my parents where i am going or what i'm doing. they got me a car so i can drive around. im not allowed to sleepover very often, but i dont like to anyways. on party nights or like special occasions my curfew is like 2 or 3. but they stay up and make sure i am home by then.

im allowed to date. im allowed to have guys in my room as long as the door is open. im not allowed to be at someones house without parents but i do anyways?

that's ab it.
im korean btw.

[*Uronacid*]

Well, my parents care about what I do, but they don't stop me from doing anything... seriously... I'm 20 years, what are they going to do. I can fly out of state without their permission.

P.S. I already do that...

[Jinny]

ugh yeah =[ my parents dont let me do drugs and that stuff; no wearing those super short skirts with like, a cami. ill just put it this way = no wearing too "revealing" clothes.
i always have to get good grades..anyways, my parents let me be anywhere i want as long as i have my cell phone with me =]

[*x1227x*]

welll:

- dont let me go out alone
- have sex until i'm married

[ReggieM]

Rebel.

Yeah, you just gotta tell your parents how it is. They can't control you 100 percent. If you're under 18 I feel they have every right to tell you what you can and can't do, but after that, you're legally an adult, so make your own choices.

[datass]

My parents don't let me use the computer after 9:30

[xhidethedetails]

welll:

- dont let me go out alone

Same except the dating thing they said I wasnt allowed to have a boyfriend until I'm 17 but I didnt listen and got one anyway but they dont seem to care all that much.
