Freedom

[Erasmus]

How can I convince my parents to give me more freedom?

They're pretty protective, and don't let me do a lot of stuff that my friends do.

Earn their respect, prove that you can be grown up enough to slacken the nursery strings

I have exactly the same problem, way to protective and earning respect from them is pretty hard. I mean you do nothing bad and still they keep you reeled in.

Im sorry i think you might just have to wait it out, when you are old enough to make your own decisions then you will have more freedom. I know thats not what you want to hear but i have been asking people the same thing and there isn't much else you can do.

The only way you can achieve true freedom is to pursue it yourself.

Well, I have noticed something about what you have said in this post.

When you do nothing bad, are you doing anything good?

If you think about it, by doing nothing are you showing any increased level of maturity. I mean all be it your doing nothing bad, you may come across to your parents as staying the same so to speak.

Again time is an option or you can try and take on more responsibility, with other things. however that may not be an option, but you can always try.

Doing more and showing increased levels of maturity can help anyones situation. However it can have varying degrees of affects depending on the type of parent you have.

But it can never hurt to try to be more mature and take on more responsibility to try and show an increase in maturity.

Ok so by this nothing bad i mean. Usually straight A student, all the top classes, never got envolved in anything illegal drugs, alcohol, under age sex. Anything.
This is just me but my parents still say im a difficult child, i stay in my room, dont bother them at all unless someone bothers me first, get things done.

Im a pretty mature person even at 14 and still they leave me no trust, no lee way what so ever. Is this fair?
It's harder when you are at one house do a load of jobs there and the next week move to the other house and are expected to do the same. It's basically double the amount of work so if i ask not to do it or something i get shouted at because im lazy or something.
That was just my opinion though, some parents are just way to protective and dont realise that by doing this they are pushing their child away and making them rebel.
