hahaha u poeple think u have it bad my parents are so overproctective i cant do crap so my life sucks most of my friends get mad taht i cant do stuff or hang out with certain people my parents are also gettiin onto the internet crap thinkin i do all this stuff gawd i hate them

[freek133]

I was talking to my mother about this,... now i dont want to sound like i am tooting my own horn but, I have never used that excuse before. I just thought that was kinda neat.

I have never been sheilded from the "Real World" as people call it, in fact my grandmother told me that she thought i was going to be the problem child because of my mothers ways of raising me, but no, it was my cousin Ashley that became the problem child, living under strict rule from my uncle and and aunt in law, she rebelled, It goes to show that even though the parents do have it hard, (THEY HAVE IT EXTREMELY HARD) some should lay off, and trust their kid.

I think the bad stuff internet blocker was a reasonable thing that your mother put on, if it worked right, who cares you know, you are a mature person who doesnt even care about porn on the internet so it shouldnt bother you, but the deal with not being able to get into AO is another story, you should talk with your mom on how much this restricts you on the internet, you cant even chat with you internet freinds, I am sure she would do something about the blocker if you just talked.

I also want to comment on shartley, and his wife, I have to give you guys props for the way you do the parenting! I have alot of friends whos parents wont let them play paintball, or partake(if thats the right way you say it) in anything that is pretty much physical. They had a really hard year in the 9th grade, with all the older kids and stuff, and i felt bad for them. I digressed(another error maybe) there, again, you guys rock!!!

oh an, for the tooting the horn thing... toot toot

It is obvious that hte people here who are saying 'their parents suck' and so on have probably not been metally distorted by their parants becuase look what htye are saying... Peopel who have been brainwashed to think that they must be perfect would never say a thing. Trust me, you people who say you parents are overprotective, 9 times out of ten, do not haev any idea how bad it gets. Some children are protected from the real world so much that they morbidly belive that the way they think is hte right way, becuase their parents say so. Some of these people are so horridly attached to the way htey have been taught that they will not accept the Real World. Some will even go as fas as to lash out and fight for what they have been taught.

Some children out there, like Cue said, have been trained to think that they have to be perfect.. and when htey find out that they can't be.. and then come to discover the real world.. they will goto extremes to get away from it. i.e. Suicide.


Yes I agree some parents are overprotective but a few.. a small percentage.. are so overprotective they 'stunt' the child's brain development in certain areas of culture and sexual preferences. This is toying with the human brain and shouldn't be done.. yet can be by hte overwhelming fact that you parents can choose to be your ONLY source of sensory input that you recives theough your entire adolescent life. Once the bond between parent and child is breech, and hte child find out hte fact.. boom. Like a bombshell. And sometimes is goes the OTHER way. Sometimes the PARENTS are so devoted to the cause (protection) that when their child is taken away from them by the world.. they break down. It is rare but it happens.

Just the facts people. It really does happen. What you think is bad is probably not bad at all.

In agreement with ya there once again Vegeta...!

There becomes a conflict with logical maturity and emotional maturity. The logical part knows how you should feel, but the emotional part does something different. You realize there is something wrong with you... and you're right. In the mean time, you go through some difficult times. This is very common with intelligent people - whose logical side can develop very quickly, with the emotional lagging far behind.

I myself am a very good example of this, I was a machine almost my entire life, living in my bubble. I wasn't born that way, just from my parents' comments and watching myself in home vids when very young - I know I was happy-go-lucky. Turned into a kid that talked to nobody, never smiled, rarely showed emotion. I was taught not to cry, to take orders, to stay quiet. If I don't, I am punished - and I never understood why I was being punished. Never understanding why, I learned that if I do/say nothing, I can't do anything wrong. I learned that by isolating myself, nobody is there to punish me.

This became a comfort-zone, a norm... I knew of nothing else, no other way of thinking. How my parents conditioned me to be around them, I took with me outside the home. It's taken a lot of self-diagnosis and self-teaching to figure out what went wrong and come up with ways to make my brain relearn... and I've come a long way since those first steps.

Like Vegeta said, some of you really have no idea how bad it can be... and your situation is usually not a big deal. Here's an example situation I was in before:

I was eating dinner, doing fine. My parents confronted me with my grades and began to criticize the lack of A's. I remember that I just sat there obediently and quietly, but in the mean time I was quivering and I finally snapped. Then I remember being in a different room, on the floor, hyper-ventilating. I had no idea what had happened in between. I found out later I was screaming in panic like I was going to die, I had thrown a plate and a glass, I ran myself into a wall as if I didn't realize it was there... because I didn't (made a nice big hole), and tried to jump through a closed window. I have ZERO recollection of this, but from the marks I made and the injuries to myself it makes sense.

Took a psychotic episode on my part for my parents to finally realize they were pushing too hard on things that are not very important.

So, this is real stuff. Your brain can get really screwed up, even by people who think they are doing what is best for you.

I myself was never 'protected' or raised out of hte ordinary. My parents figureded they would deal with problems when I got to them I guess. I got hte usually right and worng, and so far my morals have been pretty much self-set. And therefore even though I have no physical moral limitations, I have set myself a set that I will not cross to keep myself in line. I belive that thsi is a good thing (hopefully). By abidi gng by my parents semi-loose rigime I have set myself my 'own' standarnd where I will 'protect myself'.My parents know this and learned this a long time ago. But I, unlike some adolescents, are intelligent enough to abide by my concious (most of the time). I don't need sofware to block things on they net becuase of two reasons: I have fair morals, and my parents know this and they know that I won't do anything stupid as to get myself kidnapped, abducted in a chat room - the usual things overprotective parents worry about.
But again I am intelligent enough to show it... though I do go out and have a little of my own brand of fun know and then :)...
