Answer 1

They see more than you can possibly know.   Maybe they are too over protective and maybe your acting like a punk.  I'd have to hear their side as well.

You will have to prove to them that you are responsible and that will take patience on your part, but keep it up, and they should come around.

Hang in there.

Answer 2

If both your parents are retarded, doesn't that make you retarded? Isn't it amazing that they can function being so retarded? Part of earning trust from your "retarded" parents is acting like an  adult. You're in such a rush to be one well then show them what they want to see. Do you know what it takes? I find that kids your age only want to be adults when it's to your convienence. Being a true adult means taking resposibility for just about everything you do. Are you truly ready for that?

Answer 3

well, when your teenager, it sure does seem like it, right? It's almost like they're trying to control you completly, to the point where your life is ruined?

However, the truth is something else. Your parents are doing this, believe it or not, because they care about you. for the stuff that is a little overprotective, you need to talk to your parents about it.(not by screaming and shouting, but with gentle diplomacy) eventually, if you keep trying, you will get through to them, as long as you are responsible for it.

Hope this helps!

Answer 4

Answer 5

when i read your question i laughed for like 5 min lol.

You should tell them that a lot of teens that have over bearing parents go on and do all the stuff that there parents don't want them to and worse. and if they don't want you to become like that they should give you more freedoms. i was able to go to the movies and the mall by myself when i was 11

Answer 6

I get the part about not wearing makeup, it's bad for your skin and well as it's trashy if you're too young. The movie thing is weird though. You're question made me laugh :-DD.

Answer 7

Look kiddo, I don't know how old you are, but your parents probably are over protecting here. Wearing make up shouldn't be such a big deal to you, natural is much better. Maybe if you talked with your mom and just asked to wear some blush and mascara, no eye liner, no face make up, no eye shadow. You see, parents were kids once, I know its hard to believe, but true. They only seem to remember the bad stuff. Hey, the girls with make up were the 'loose' ones, back in the day. Things are different today, but there is much more for parents to fear in letting their kids do things. If you have good grades, good friends, ones that can and do come to your house once in a while, maybe your mom could take you all to a movie, she could sit somewhere other than where you guys sit. Or, try doing some stuff that you parents want you to do. The more you fight this, the worse it's going to get. I can just see you yelling and them yelling and you running to your room, crying and cussing and having a fit! Remember, the more you react, the more they think they are right. Just try to calm yourself, and work it your way. Maybe a friend could spend the night at your house. Suggest that you have friends your mom doesn't know to come over and meet her. The more your parents know about your friends, the more they will see you are not such a bad kid and will trust your judgment in things. Again, don't react so harshly, they will never give in if you do. Use that cute little head of yours, psychology works both ways, for them and for you! Good luck

Answer 9

dear friend,your parent have the experience of whay is going on and want the best for you. They were young  like you are now and they are preventing you to go to the hardship that they went thru. Listen to them and you won't feel sorry later.

Answer 10

run away

Answer 11

Let's see, you COULD do certain things, but now you can't?  We only have your side of the story....what did you do to bring about these changes?  Somehow I don't think they woke up one morning and decided they would make the life of their child a living hades....

Irregardless, just remember, if your parents are truly as screwed up and retarded as you say - the r****d acorn doesn't fall far from the r****d family tree.

Answer 12

As long as you are disrespectful it pretty well proves to them that you are immature. If they let you do things before that they are not now, then you must have done something to cause that. My guess is that you are too young to do the things you want to do. Give it some time, you'll grow up eventually and run your own life.  

Answer 13

Don't be the typical s****., rebellious teen--prove your parents WRONG! Show them you're mature enough to handle more than you're allowed to do. They just might change their minds.

Good luck!! :)  

Answer 14

They probably are overprotective because they're afraid of spreading your illiteracy to other children. That calls for lawsuits, you know.

Answer 15

You're 14, you're becomming more independant and you don't need your parents for everything anymore. Knowing your kids will make their own decisions scares parents which sometimes causes them to go overboard trying to show how much power they still have over you. At least thats why my parents did when I was that age. If you want them to listen to you don't go crazy on them. Continue to prove your responsible and can go with their decisions and show you respect them. It's the best way to get more freedom, however most of us have not been blessed with the humility or patience to do so.

Answer 16

keep in mind that they do it because they love you. my parents were horrible when i was younger even though i was responsible too. they wouldnt let me go out with my friends, buy the clothes i wanted, wear makeup, or anything. I know how you feel. but as i got older (i am only 21 now) i learned that my parents got into all kinds of trouble when they were younger and thats why they never let me do anything. it sucks it totally sucks. they are going about it all the wrong way and im not sure you will be able to get them to hear you. my parents never did until i was old enough to move out. learn from them. I have a daughter of my own now and i will never treat her like i was treated growing up, though she wont be able to come and go as she pleases either. parents just want to protect their children and it seems like ours went to the extreme probably because they didnt know what else to do. best of luck to you. just remember, only a few more years...

Answer 17

When i was 14, i didn't run all over the place going to movies and wasn't allowed to wear make up either.  i was only in the 7th and 8th grade.. and wasn't a woman, but a child....

When i was 16, i had more freedom to go and do things with friends.  I also had limits and boundaries set by my mother and had to follow her rules.

My kids did, too.  We have all survived....

Just be happy you have parents who care... and don't nag them or you might not even be able to do the things you want at 16!

take care. i'm sure you can find things to do.

Answer 18

Be glad you have parents that love you enough to try to keep you from doing the wrong thing. There are kids out there that their parents don' t give to s***s about them. Let them run the streets and they end up in trouble, with dieseses, or dead because no one love them enough to care where they were, what they wore, who they ran with.  Its had to be a parent, we have to judge by the things we went through and want to protect you from making the same mistakes. Talk to them. But you have to earn there trust and if someting happened and they are backing down, then you lost their trust a some point. So now you"ll have to regain it Good luck
