My parents are so over-protective these days.My dad follows my every move and he yells at me terribly and I hate it so much.Me and my mom always get into fights as she is always suspicious over me having affairs.I have to take care of so many things.No one understands me.I have been so depressed.I want to be a better person and grow up knowing how to control this. Am i right?

I know this is that last thing you want to hear, but I was in this very same position when I was younger (I am only 32 by the way). Looking back now, I realize that my parents always had my best interests in mind, and I also look back now and realize that I would have been a lot better off sometimes if I had listened to them more. I wouldn't have had nearly as many problems in life if I had listened to them more often instead of just thinking they were trying to control me and going against their wishes.

Hi friend, You may be correct but running away will never solve anything. How can a gold be made precious? Just in the midst of high temperature right? Just try to be yourself and face everything with smile and then world will know that you are one of the precious one that have been selected preferably. Living in a cool environment never makes anyone better and known to many with outstanding exposure. If you believe in God , pray to Him for everything and you will succeed for sure... Cheers... Have a nice day always...

Anyone of us has to face such dilemma and difficulty once in lifetime. We love our parents as much as they love us. We shouldn't let them worry, and prove to them, we can better take care of ourselves. We will be grown up one day, and we will make many hard decisions on ourselves, it is part of our grown - up process.

Why would you want to run away when there is still an option? Try talking to them. It would be better than to run away and leaving your dilemma in replacement of another. Try to ask them why are they acting like that, and in return you should tell them how you feel and if you have any problems, open up to them. They're your parents, they will understand you.

I guess your parents did that, because they love you. Since they over protective, it might cause some inconvenience for you at the moment. Try to understand their situation, and explain your situation to them patiently. I guess most people without patience, they are tend to be more edgy, and conflict will be caused. Try to be reasonable and patient with them.

In my eyes,it is useless to run away from your house because it is not a permanent arrangement. Nowadays, there are many children who have met such a situation. You see, from your perspective, you have grown up and have the ability of how to control yourself. But in the eyes of your parents, they are worried about you because they think the society is full of dangers and they want to try their best to protect your from dangers. So, if you want to solve the problem, you should try to communicate with your parents. Communication is important if you want to make your parents get familiar with you and your inner world.

Nowadays, most of us have developed different value and concept through experience we got, and learned from this new world, new society. While conflicts between two individuals might arose. So, try to keep in communication with your parents, try to make them understand your point of view.

yeah, having a serious conversation with your parents is more important. Otherwise, they never know what you are thinking, and what you wanna to do. Communication is the key word for every relationship I guess. Even to your parents too.

Being over-protective parent was normal but sometimes it may affects your daily life. If I were in your place, I'm going to be paranoid. They just want to make sure that you're not gonna have some affair. The best thing to do is, prove to them that you're different from the others. Why not? At the end, you'll be the one to decide in yourself.

try to tell your parents, you are all grown - up right now, and you can take better care of yourself. For me, I would tell my parents straightforward, I am ok, and give me a chance to prove to you, that I know what I am doing, and I can do it myself. Don't over react to this situation.

It happens with me every once in a month, just the same problems you have. Just think about it and you will be normal.Leaving up your house when you are young is a great deal you have to start all over and for that you require great potential.I know talking with parents don't work.But you have to cope up with it only u know how? Once you create enough distance with them for some time(DONOT LEAVE YOUR HOUSE TILL YOU HAVE YOUR OWN LIVELIHOOD)then you will loving them once again just like when you was a child.You are probably a teenager, drop your ego, it helps me,you owe a lot to your parents,in fact everything,So just relax and think over.

Hey shona, just out of curiosity, how old are you? I was wondering because I had similar feelings when I was a teenager. I think a majority of teenagers feel that way because they think that their parents are too strict and nosy. You're probably feeling that you don't have any freedom or anything right? It may seem that way but I'm sure your parents are just looking out for you. It took me years to finally realize that little bit. I couldn't stand my parents being so controlling when I was younger. They wouldn't let me go out late and pretty much nagged me and nosed around my business. I thought it was really annoying and also contemplated running away a few times. But I'm glad that I didn't follow through. It would have been stupid and there was no way I'd be able to survive for long out there. Your best bet is to sit down and have a talk with your parents. Tell them how you feel, they probably don't even know how affected you are by their actions. Just get everything out in the open. Find out why they are being that way.

Hi, I think your parents do this, because they really care about you, and don't want you get hurt, maybe they are over-protective, but they just want protect you, don't want to hurt you, they do all this for good for you, so I think maybe you can chooose to talk to them, and tell them what you think about, don't choose to run away from home, you can tell them you already grow up, and can do decision yourself.
