hey frends,
today i met a gal, n she was just d ordinary gal, but a bit gloomy,thn i asked her abt her personal life, thn she told she left her studiescoz of her financial crisis and her mum did not allow her to go out of her home so often,
then she told tht her mum does not let her out coz she is 18 yrz old n thn anything can hapn to her. she said she had never seen film in a theatre or a multiplex, she does not know how todial a number on the phone. then i felt tht this part of the society needs help
i hate this boundation of society n feel iritated to not to help, but not wanting to be, but stillbe a part of it.
Wats ur opinion?

I don't know what to tell you, I am at a lost. No 18 year old would be like that here in Canada, for she would be an adult and could do whatever she wanted.
Also she would know how to use the phone and everything just like anyone else.

As a mother, I can understand what drove her mother set boundaries for her. The world is so unsafe nowadays and we must work harder to protect our young. I felt my parents were too strict when I was a teenager, so I can relate to this girl's feelings.
Her mother is holding her back by not letting her explore but it's hard to let go. But she can't shelter her for the rest of her life. Besides, what's the point of living if you're not allowed to enjoy life. Without realizing it, her mother could be doing more harm than good.
What are we to do? We certainly can't go around telling others how to raise their children. She's old enough to make her own decisions, but she must respect her mother's wishes while she still lives at home. I would like to help this type of society to learn to lighten up a bit and enjoy life. We can't change what people truly believe in.

It's really hard to meddle into other people's family problems and unsolicited advice could really turn out bad. It's hard knowing other people's problems, especially those that are close to you, and not be able to do anything about it. I guess the only thing we can do if we can't help them out on our own way is just pray that they receive guidance and strength to overcome such obstacles in their lives.
