Parents, man what a topic. Soetimes they forget how it feels to be our age. From what I've noticed they are always on you and jumping to conclusions even if you weren't even thinking about some of the stuff they come up with. I mean your mom tried to be your best friend, so that you can go to her for everything. But if you say something wrong about someone look out you might not be able to talk to them ever again. Your always looking to impress your mom with the words you say, the friends you choose, and even the guys you meet. You're always looking for a mothers approval. NOW, about your father, he's always trying to protect you even if you don't need protecting. He's always picturing you as his little girl even if your turning 16. He scares off every single guy that phones your house, comes by or even asks you to be his date for a school dance. He don't understand that your growing up and dating is part of the process of being a teen. He wants you to finish school before you get mixed up with "boys" I think he forgets just how it feels sometimes. These days, yeah sure teens need there parents more then ever. But they don't need them hovering over them 24/7 and making there choices and decisions for them that's not part of the teen process. You should be able to make your own mistakes, choose your own friends, and for god sake have a boyfriend. Until you give your parents a reason not to trust you that would be the time they can pounce all over you! But until then I think that they should let you live life to the fullest and be safe about it. Your old enough to know what's right and wrong and even though your parents aren't with you, there words are.
