Hello, I’m 17 years old, I’m about to finish high school. I want to study a university degree related to programming, in South Korea or Japan. I feel like my parents don’t take me seriously, they just make fun of me when I talk about it. I tried to talk seriously about this with my mother, but she didn’t really listen to me. I want to apply for a scholarship in one of those two options. They just see it as a silly idea that came to me out of nowhere, when in reality I decided for years that this is what I want. Now they tell me that I will study in Canada, they didn’t even take me into account, they are deciding for me. I’m tired of this, they always treat me like a vile useless immature. I am a good student, I am totally focused on my studies unlike most people my age, and I consider that this is a decision that I can make.

I’m 16 years old and my parents literally don’t let me go out or anything. I feel like my life is going very badly. I see how all my friends go out and have fun and I can’t even go out with my friend. Before, I had a lot of friends and they invited me to do things. and I never could because they wouldn’t let me, and thanks to that I can’t even socialize like before, now I have a boyfriend and I can never see him because my parents always distrust me, my life is horrible, literally I just go to school and stay locked up in my house every day, I hope I can change that and be able to live my life, my mom says that I didn’t get ahead of myself because I’m still a girl, but literally she has been telling me that years ago and she never realizes that, I just want to be like The other teenagers who can go out, not yes or yes, fuck it, but go out at home, being at home for a long time makes me anxious and sad, and my parents say that I am an exaggerator, which is why what happens to me is nothing. It hurts me to be like this.

I’m 17 and the truth is that I’m fed up, every day it’s the same, it’s like living in a prison, and I feel too bad about it, I feel resentment towards them, they don’t let me go out with the few friends I have and I It is very annoying to see how others have fun and have a beautiful youth.
I always resort to crying because of how bad I feel about it and how much I want to be like everyone else.

I’m 17 years old, my parents control me a lot, they don’t let me go out, I’m tired of all this I’m going through, I have a boyfriend and they don’t let me be with him because he has an illness and in order to live he has to have emodialysis, they say that with him I have no future, on the one hand, I do have a future. Besides that, I am in love with him. I like him and I want to be with him. Many things prevent me and it also prevents me from interacting with people because I don’t leave my house. It seems that I am a girl. I would like to that they would give me a little more freedom and let me make my own decisions and that way I will be happy

I am 16 years old, my parents control me a lot and I am very tired of this situation. They punish me by taking away my cell phone, my computer, my exits; and all this for nonsense and a lot of time. I can understand that I’m not doing excellent in high school but I’m not really doing that bad. In the end this prevents me from interacting with people and greatly lowers my self-esteem because they make me feel like I’m “a daddy’s kid.” I would like them to leave me free so I can be happy.

They also don’t let me go out, I feel locked in. I’ve never been to a party, not even when I was little.
I also can’t go out with my friends and I have to endure every Monday morning as they tell everything they did and I can never go because I don’t have permission to simply go see a movie or take a walk.

My family doesn’t support me, they don’t let me go out alone, they send me to everything, I’m an only child, I want to make my life at 16, I got tired of living like this, I fell into depression, insomnia, anxiety, stress, I got sick, what can I do… And I want to introduce the The only person who gives me everything, supports me, loves me but I feel like they are going to reject him and he comes from afar just to see me, he is the only person I have in my life.

I am 17 years old, my father is very authoritarian and always wants me to do things well, in addition, he is a very impatient person, he always sees what I do wrong, I am about to leave high school, I thought I would leave with a friend to study together and share expenses, my mother agrees that I can get ahead on my own, but my father says no, it’s better that I work, because they don’t have the money to support me, But I tell him that it is not necessary for him to support me, that I should be the one who must move forward, but he is very stubborn, hard to convince, that brings me negative emotions, rage and anger. What can I do? Because if I contradict him, he gets to the point of getting angry and hitting me. What should I do?

I’m 12 years old and my parents don’t let me meet my friends on the weekend. I have trouble sleeping and I barely sleep 5 hours. I have no self-esteem and I have a very bad time at home because my parents argue a lot and are always angry. They only pay attention to my sister because if they don’t my sister creates a drama for them. Furthermore, my parents tell me that I am no good at studying and that makes me do even worse.

I’m 17 years old, I’ve been locked up for 2 years and I only go out with my mother on rare occasions. I’ve never had permission for anything, not chores, social gatherings, parties, going out to the store, nothing, not even my own birthday. I also can’t dress the way I want. No one can greet me on the street, I can’t have a boyfriend either, it’s more time I’m secretly writing this. I’m very sorry that there are several of us who suffer this way. I took drugs because of my mother I feel like I have (Depression I haven’t spoken to anyone, I’m clumsy every time I go out 😔😔😔

I’m 16 years old and they don’t let me go out anywhere, not even go out with my cousins for a party or anything. And I see how all my friends go out, enjoy being a teenager and why can’t I? They don’t even have good arguments why they don’t let me go anywhere. I don’t know what to do anymore, they think that’s how they protect me but the only thing they do is hurt me and make me want to run away and not see them anymore.

The same thing happens to me and the worst thing is that they think that by saying offensive things to me they are going to correct me when all they do is hurt me and create more negative thoughts towards me :/, not respecting my tastes or not making me feel myself, it hurts me a lot :’ /

Um, I’m 12 years old and my parents won’t let me go out to a classmate’s birthday and everyone in my classroom is going, I just want them to let me go, and the house where the birthday is going to be is two minutes from my house.

I’m turning 13 and my mother won’t let me play video games. It is not because they are afraid of addiction, but because of their beliefs. My parents are Christians, my dad is more relaxed, for example he doesn’t go to church every day, but my mom is very demanding. For example, she doesn’t let me play any horror game, even if it’s not scary, she doesn’t even let me play games like mimic, piggy, baldi, etc. All because she says that it ministers to me and attracts spirits to our house.

07/24/2021 Context: I am 15 and I never go to parties or anywhere, I only talk to two friends and go to personalized classes with a teacher who is 60.
Well this weekend, they invited me to a party for the first time this fucking year (a friend’s birthday) and a lot of people I know went and the party was great and I asked permission in the most sincere way because I looked for tips on Google and YouTube , I asked my cousin how to ask for permission and so on. Anyway, they told me no and I don’t know why, I asked them and their answer was no and the truth is I only think about why. I never go out, I don’t have friends, I don’t have a bad reputation, I have good grades, I behave well and don’t I deserve to go out? Corduroy? And I missed something very good, everyone had a great time and I couldn’t see my friends, anyway I want to go on strike but I don’t want to do anything bad but I just can’t turn back time and go to the party so, I lock myself in my house 2 more years

The same thing happens to me and I’m 17. I live with my grandmother and she’s the one who tells me if I’m going or not… (I mean it’s almost always a no) and I feel like I’m wasting my youth because I no longer have friends or anyone to talk to. . She lives in fear that something will happen to me and she is ultra religious, and the truth is I feel in a bubble of overprotection that I want to get out of.

The same thing happens to me, I have come to think that they will never give me permission and that continuing to try is not worth it, but what I am sure of never giving up on is finishing university and getting a job so I can get out of that house and in In the hypothetical case that they blame me for everything they did for me, I will save a lot to give them the money they invested in my entire life and they will never hear from me again, so they know how miserable they made me feel when I lived with them by not give myself permission to live my social life like a normal person.

I am 18 years old, my parents are separated, I live with my mother but she is very controlling and I am tired of that, I always obeyed to try to please her, when I didn’t have a boyfriend my mother let me do many things and now that I have one she sets limits on me for everything, she fears that I will end up pregnant like my sisters, she distrusts me a lot, she cares more about what people tell her about my relationship, my self-esteem is low, she always controls me how I should dress and doesn’t let me drink my own decisions, the worst thing is that I’m already used to it but my boyfriend is already tired of being punished for anything, I’m afraid that my boyfriend will leave me because of my mother and today I punish myself for going to greet my boyfriend, I tried to talk to her but she only answered me: if you continue like this I will punish you for another week without seeing you, oh sometimes she tells me: if you don’t like my rules go live with him, I don’t know what to do anymore can you help me on what I should do ? Please

Look, we are possibly going through the same thing, the only difference is that I am a man and it is humiliating for me to live that way and I can imagine what you go through, one more thing is that you are of legal age, I know that your mother protects you even if you see it. in a very overprotective way (I would see it that way too) which I shouldn’t…
