You need to talk with your parents about giving you a bit more freedom. Because when you leave for college you will be unprepared.

sit down with them and talk to them tell them that your 16 years old and you would like some time to your self. tell them that you would like to be able to go out and do things with out them. you dont think that you at 16 years old desiverve to be grounded.

Answer by Ruthie
maybe if you stopped acting like a 5 year old they would stop treating you like a 5 year old. Go to the mall with your mom it would make her happy. Heaven forbid you actually do something for your mom for once rather than yourself.

Sorry about you luck. It does sound like they are being a bit hard on you. You could in a nice way try to talk to them about how you feel, just remember to stay calm and not to be augmentative.

I hope you all can work something out.

Although I do not agree with being grounded for not wanting to go shopping to the mall with your mom you have to realize that they are your parents and they set the rules of the household. You can calmly sit down and talk to them and try to make them understand that certain things you agree deserve grounding but something like going to the mall is just pushing it a little bit. If they know where you are coming from and you talk to them calmly you may make progress with them.

well what i would do is talk to them about it and express how you feel about it, say everything u just said in ur question to them and see how they react i guess if they still dont do anything or change in anyway lol this is what i would i would tell them if u dont do… ill get bad in school, if u dont do…i will….. and so on

If i was you then i would talk to your parents and tell them how you feel, you should do somethings for you parents and show that you are willing to go to places like shopping with her but not all the time.
In a week me and my mom sometime we have little arguments like everyday and then at the end of the week she goes mad and punishes me for stupid things like the smallest stuff, but its only because things have built up through out the week.
we forget that our parents are just like us even though they are older they still get annoyed and also sometimes the power of being a responsible adult goes to there head.
your best bet is to just stay out the way of your parents and do what they say and then when they tell you to do something say well actually can i just not do it this time and i’ll promise that i’ll do what ever you want next time. Just compromise and trust me it wil work.

Okay-y-y-y-y. . . . .I’m a parent !!!! And I DON’T get this. . . . .unless there IS more going on than you’re telling us ! Either your parents are being WAY-Y-Y-Y too unfair. . . .or unrealistic. . . . .or there are extenuating circumstances that you need to be HONEST about !

Assuming the situation IS EXACTLY like what you’re saying. . . . .then I’m going to give you my “stock” answer. . . . . .COMMUNICATION, COMMUNICATION, COMMUNICATION ! Parents ALWAYS insist on it with their children, so-o-o-o-o. . . . .I believe the SAME should hold true for children ! Sit . . . .down. . . .and. . . .talk. . . .with. . . . them ! I would want MY son to do that ! And he graduated 3rd in the top of his CLASS !!!!

Remember this: The ONLY way to solve conflict is through. . . .COMMUNICATION. And I CAN’T emphasize that STRONGLY enough !!!! Okay ?????!!!!!!!

before I give you a answer I would like to hear the whole story not just your side!

Poor child 🙁

Well.. i guess your best chance is to show your parents that you’re not a baby anymore.. give them reasons to treat you like the responsable person you are!

When you have a conflict with your parents.. dont get flustered & upset.. keep cool & calm! Sit them down & in an adult way explain to them whats bothering you & try to find a compromise.. if you belive that they are punishing you for no reason, say so! & try to make them understand in a rational & non emotional way..

All parents go tough this change.. from treating thier child as a baby.. to treating him as an adult.. belive it or not its pretty though for them so try & be patient.. you mean a lot to them & they are just trying to do what they think is best <3

Good luck & dw too much.. things will get better eventually 🙂
