Out of options.

I feel like i have no freedom at all.
my life consists of school, homework, and more homework.

there seems like i dont have a life with my friends.
and its all because of my parents.

they think my friends are bad influences on me, and they just wont understand anything !

i have a friends party i really want to go to this saturday, and ive tried everything, they wont let me go.

all they care about is if my report is good or bad.
And they expect me to be perfect at everything, like getting 100% and not one failing grade, and thats not possible caue im just not smart enough.

They know im not that smart and not too bright and im a little slow with things, but even my older sister cant get what they expect, so how do they expect me to ? im just never going to be good enough for them.

its not like i dont try, i do cause, i try to get good in my grades just to make them happy, but it is never good enough for them.

And this party, i really want to go to.
how can i persuade my parents to let me go, because right now, i feel like i dont have a life ....

thank you very much !

"its not like i dont try, i do cause, i try to get good in my grades just to make them happy, but it is never good enough for them."

^When will kids and teenagers ever learn that you DON'T do your homework for pleasing the teacher, or your parents, or anyone else but YOURSELF. It really couldn't matter less if you memorize the answers to a test to get perfect to make your parents happy and then forget all that information by two years time. The sooner you realise education is for no one else but your own sake, the better your future will be.

That's all I'm going to say fo now.

I hate it when people complain about not having a "life" because they have so much homework.

There are millions of kids all over the world who wish they could have the kind of education you have.

what is so special about this party? If there is any drinking involved then they're right about you not hanging out with those kind of people.

I sorta agree with Mike on this one. You should do good in school and listen to your parents! It's worth it believe it or not! The world is more harsh now then ever...getting good grades and graduating will be your only way to a good paying job! Once you have that....party away man, party away! but be smart c'mon! your not stupid...you just tell yourself you are...then you believe yourself! Not kewl to beat yourself down like that! I feel a bit of sympathy for you but believe us when we say it's for the best!

Hope this helps a little bit.

I never said there was drinking involved ... and there isnt ... shes one of my best friends and i just want to go to her party.

Yeah and i do understand that i have to listen to my parents and what they are doing is only good for me, but they could at least let me do stuff with my friends ..
thanks for the advise =]

Im 17, so to most people my opinion here will not be accepted.ive have defied my parents on every turn in my life, it got me into all the bad stuff like drinking, and drugs. But it also got me out, i ended up in boot camp for 22 weeks in a place called Michigan Youth Challange Acadamy. i still deify my parents but thats b/c they demand respect when giving none themselves. ---anyway i have made edcucation my number one thing below having a decent girl (always beleived girls come first) now i got grades that are making colloges go "wtf?"

dont let ur parent push you around but on other end of things education is important just remember that.

"dont let ur parent push you around"

That has to be the worst advice I've read all week. Unless they are beating you and hurting you beyond what you can take, that is when you find a way out. and there are ways to get out.

Maybe that's what happened to you? who knows? I doubt it since you were sent to a boot camp. but you can't tell someone who's young to ignore their parents. They can't live without their parents or someone to give them right directions. They won't grow that way.

Yeah i get what you're saying Rose petals and lace. And i know my edcation is important and all. i take it quite seriously, but its just never good enough.

and to ^ i think what Rose petals and lace was that we shouldnt let our parents control our lives .. cause it is ours to live, and they shouldnt make EVERY descicion for us ...

thanks

I agree with Mike. I was the same way when I was 14 and that was 4 years ago but it seems like a long time ago don't try to grow up too fast you might regret it later. a bunch people on this site know what they are talking about for the simple fact that they incluing myself have been where you are and knows how you feel. trust me you will thank a lot of people.
