Please Read. It's Important
OutragedHow was your break?
Me? Not so happy.
In fact, I'm a little ticked off.
Never mind. I'm VERY ticked.
How many of you have strict parents? Anyone? *crickets chirps*
Exactly. None of you knows what it's like!
Me on the other hand? Yes. My parents are strict to the point where I just want to cry sometimes.
Take now, for example. I wish I could just scream in their (especially my mom's) faces right now.
I mean, I know I'm not an adult. But I'm not a 6 year old either. I know I'm not on my own yet. But for just ONCE, I would like them to treat me like my age! Just ONE FRIGGIN TIME!
I'm not one to curse. I'm not one to smoke. I'm not one to get banged by any old guy. I'M NOT LIKE THAT!
Yet they still feel the need to treat me a delinquet who can't tell the difference between what's good and what's not.
Sure, I've made a few not-so-good choices. But God! It's not like they'll change my life! It's not like I do stuff like that all the time! I'M HUMAN! I MAKE MISTAKES!
As most of you know, I don't have a my own e-mail. Why? Because my parents don't trust me with my own.
Why don't they trust me with my own? I have no clue! I'm not going to e-mail anyone but friends! I'm not going to give it away to some "kid" on the net! And I wouldn't use it for anything bad!
So, I thought, well, maybe if she sees that nothing bad is happening on "my" e-mail, then she would let me have my own. Well, it's pretty much shot down like a duck during hunting season now.
Most all of you guys have youtube account, am I right? Those of you that do have one know that everything that you do on youtube gets sent in an e-mail. For the most part, that's kinda convenient. You know when people comment, send you vids, send friend requests, etc.
What's so bad about that, right?
Well, lately, you guys have been sending me things that aren't making my mom happy in the slightest. Now, she doesn't check youtube directly (I don't think, at least). But when you guys send me stuff, it gets sent to her, because my account is regestered with her e-mail. So she reads what the e-mail says.
So everything you guys do that involves me, involves my mom as well. Not a problem, right? WRONG! When you huys send me all this bad stuff, she knows about it! And she being the strict woman that she is gets mad when she sees it. So who gets hurt? ME!
She thinks that just because you guys send me bad stuff, it makes me a bad kid who looks at bad stuff. BUT I'M NOT!
You guys know me. You all know that I'm a good kid. You know because you all hang around me every day. And even though I live with my mom, even though she's been around me my whole life, SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW ME! THE ONLY THING SHE SEEMS TO GET ABOUT ME IS THAT I'M A GIRL AND HOW OLD I AM! SHE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT MY CHARACTER, OR WHO I AM, OR HOW I ACT, OR ANYTHING!
I try so hard to be good in her eyes! I work my tail off! Yet she doesn't think it's good enough! She doesn't appretiate the fact I try SO hard to please her!
Sometimes I just feel like I should get into drugs or something to GIVE HER A REASON TO THINK I'M BAD!
But no. I'm not. I'm not that kind of person. The very fact that I haven't done anything like that should be proof enough! Wouldn't you think??
But's never enough. And it never will be. NEVER!
You all look at me like I'm crazy when I say I don't have a myspace, or can't go out with my friends to the movies alone, or doing anything NORMAL KIDS DO! ABD THE ONLY THIONG I CAN SAY IS "Sorry. It's my parents."
Do you see a pattern here? When you guys can't believe that I can't do anything fun, it's because you're like "What?? But she's such a good kid. It's not like she'll do anything bad!" (at least, that's what I hope you're thinking)
I'm a good kid. Period. There's not sarcasm, not joking, not nothing but the truth! And having fun isn't 'the parents letting their kids do anything they want.' It's the fact that the parents trust their kids to be good and make the right decisions and come home without a "police escort."
And guess what? They do! Every time! You guys are aloud to go places on your own all the time. yet I'm stuck with my parents and little brother who annoy me and won't let me have fun!
THAT'S ALL I WANT! TO HAVE FUN! TO BE WITH MY FRIENDS WHILE I STILL CAN BEFORE I GET SHIPPED OFF TO COLLEGE AND DON'T SEE THEM FOR 2O+ YEARS!
You only get to be young once. (great. I just started crying) So wouldn't think you should make the most of your youth before having to "become part of society" and worry about finances, and work, and kids, and life!! As an adult you never have time for any of that. You wake up, go to work, eat, and repeat the cylce till you get old and die.
Look, I'm sorry. This turned into a rant. My whole point was supposed to that I'm not allowed on youtube any more. But hey. I'm kinda glad I got that off my chest. For those of you who read to the end, thank you. I really appretiate it.
Well, I'll be going now. Just remember not to send me anything on youtube anymore. See you all at school tomorrow.
Till next time,
Shelby

.: love isnt just a word... its a feeling in your heart :.
I almost feel like sending you a YT message [knowing you mom will read it] and telling her to give you yt back ;-;!!
And I know your not pleased with your parents for not letting you go to places alone. But like, the majority of your friends [9th grade only] arnt aloud to go by them selves either -cough cough v-
Dont worry about it I know it bugs you, trust me it would bug me too, back when we were still together o_o, but talk to them about it, i know youv prolly tried like a million times, but this time when you do it, be mature about, show them that you dont need mommy and daddy to always be with you.
Here i googled steps on how to over come this pickle [cause im a nerd like that]:
1. The key to any relationship is communication. This is irrespective of the fact that you are not comfortable talking to either one of them. There is always a first time for everything. Having said that also remember that timing and context of any conversation is always important.
2. Find out which parent is more lenient, and always work to bring him or her over to your point of view before asking for something from the other parent. For example, if you want to go to a party, and you know your mom is more relaxed about it, persuade her first, then she will be on your side when you talk to your dad. Parents try to work as a unit, and if you split them up they will be weaker.
3. Know your parents' weaknesses. Use them to your benefit.
4. Compromise. Buy yourself a cell phone, and promise that if you are allowed to go out, you will call your parents every 30 or so minutes to let them know you're ok. Calmly discuss things, and try to work out a solution that suits you both. Remember, your parents want you to be happy, but they also want you to be safe.
5. Act responsibly. You can't expect your parents to treat you like an adult if you still act like a kid. Clean your own room, offer to look after younger siblings, and don't throw hissy fits, etc.
6. Know that dating can be a big issue for everyone with overprotective parents (mostly girls). Reassure your parents that so-and-so is respectful to you, kind etc. If your partner doesn't object, then arrange a meeting between them and your parents. Carefully groom your partner, so he/she will come across well. But not too much, or they will appear creepy. [you can use me shelby!! kidding kidding XD]
7. Realize that sometimes, your parents really do know best.
8. Have patience. Don't expect your parents' attitudes to change overnight. Slowly build their trust, always be home by the time they said, and stick to the rules that you've both agreed on. Gradually, your parents will realize that they can trust you to be responsible and start giving you more freedom without you even having to ask!
9. Do something for your parents without any ulterior motives. May be a joint dinner date once a month or just buying them small gifts during a special day. That will send the message to them that you are growing up as a responsible adult and can be trusted.
Yeah... Here are some tips i found XDD [I feel like an idiot]
* Remember birthdays, mother and father's days etc. Buy appropriate gifts, and use these events to spend quality time with your parents.
* If your parents are incredibly overprotective and strict, suggest family therapy; they may have issues they need to overcome.
* Never lie. If they find out, it will ruin all the hard work you put into gaining their trust. [SO LIKE BE GOOD GIRL K? NO DRUGS]
* Even if they agree to loosen up, remember that they will STILL be protective in a lot areas
* Just because they say no, doesn't mean they are OVER-protective. They care about you.
* If you know someone in your neighborhood hang out with them, slowly increasing your boundaries until they encompass friends houses, movie theaters, fun places, etc. [Ask to go over V's house on Wednesday, if ur mom asks why be like GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN!]
Ahhh, time for the warnings [Your prolly laughing at me by now XD]
* If you do get more freedom, don't become involved in substance abuse. It can damage your health and relationship with your family.
* Don't throw a fit if your parents are over-protective. IT WON'T WORK! Be calm and controlled no matter what they say. [DONT HIT JOE MAMA K?]
* Remember there is no right or wrong age for dating. It's whenever you feel ready. If you don't feel ready then chances are that your date will not work out. [ohh.. This can be useful in the future <.<]
* Remember to start small. If you want to be able to go to fun places, you should start asking to do small thing like walk to school. Eventually they will trust you enough to go to friends houses and other places. [Well you cant really walk to skewl. U live in the middle of no where, where you drink dirty water o_o. so ull most likly get raped or somthing}
* Remember that not everyone can be protected. [LIKE ME
Hope i helped at least Alittle o_o -gasps for air- This is a longggggggg message my friend Dx.
