I'm Cazzandra Mhae Canada, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Z. Canada. Being their daughter is something that i could be proud of. Though sometimes i misunderstood their sides,i know that they only want the best for me. sometimes they are overprotective, and i don't like it because i want to do things that they don't want me to do! i know its not right thats why i just keep my mouth shut and cry at the corner! i do understand them but sometimes i want them to listen to my side first before they make any decision.

hi cazz! On my side, I'm also a daughter and youngest in the family. I understand you because I've also been through that kind of predicament..My parents are not that strict but there are times that they act overbearing and sometimes they act that they are being stereotype by a compact disk, they always repeat what they say. But you know what? don't get frustrated because they only protect us away from harm and if they act very protective of you, it only shows that they care and loves you soo much.. And your lucky enough, because many kids out there wants to have a protective and caring parents like you.. And PARENTS KNOWS BEST :)

you know what?every daughter goes through the same predicament once in their lives. we often wouldnt want to be meddled with our personal matters, but that is part of growing up. Parent would only want the bast for their kids. Just look at it in a different perspective--they care and love you so much and they would be blaming themselves if something bad would ever happen to you. trust me...if you see their overprotectiveness in a positive way, you wouldnt feel bad about it. but it would also help if you talk to them and compromise.

Hi, i understand your situation. I'm also like that. It's really sad but we don't have a choice. We are just only a daughter. They are just only protected us from harm. But sometimes there are too much. We can't move. In my side, before my parents won't let me out of the house after school or weekends. It's really frustrated. Sometimes i lost confident in my self and self-esteem.

hai cazzandra! i think u are lucky daughter.. u parents so caring about you. some people cant get condition like you.. u can disucc u parents about it... bcs you parents afraid if anything happen for you. but one way is you must think positive about you parents, you can explain what you like and ask them which one is good for you..

Don't despair you're not the only one, it happens to almost every one. Parents could be overbearing but they only have our best interest in their hearts. Try to listen first to whatever they are saying for you to understand and humbly ask for a chance to be heard out.

Hi Cazzhie! i'm only a few years older than you are but when i was your age i had that feeling too, of wanting to do and say what i want but i can't. i was too stubborn and i ended up making the wrong decisions and worse, hurting my parents specially my mom. you can tell them what you want, just be aware of the tone of your voice and show respect no matter what. know the boundaries of being the daughter and that you are speaking not just with any people but with your parents. in my case, communication has helped promote understanding in our family. one of the greatest things that i heard from my parents whenever we speak with each other about anything: they also learn from us even if we are the children. cliche maybe, but it's true that they just want the best for us :)
