Is this consdered abuse?

[Iron fist]

Hi,is this considered abuse? My parents homeschool me To keep me away from all the "evil" of the outside world and wont allow me to even go in the front yard by myself,(keep in mind we dont live in a bad neighborhood).I dont have any friends because whenever i have tried to talk to somelne my age they stand 15 feet away and just watch and listen to what were doing.because of this,i havent had any friends since i was 10,and havent had a vonversation with someone my age since last year.And my parents always get mad at me over nothing.for instance i was bringing my dad a armload of tools.and the bottom of my jeans snagged on something and came down where you couod see the top of my underwear,and he yelled at me saying that i was going to start acting like a thug,and that was me sagging.stuff like that happens all the time. I could tell you story after story after story like this. I cant even listen to music that isnt 40 years old! Im sorry about my grammar ,im typing this on an ipod touch while theyre at the store.

In my opinion, I think that's just really really strict parenting. They're just afraid you'll change into something they don't want you to change into.

It's strict and mean that they won't allow you to go out in your neighborhood. I think you need a chat with them and tell them how you feel and see what they say. Explain you have hardly no friends because of them. Explain that you need more freedom and to keep calm about wherever you go.

sorry man. it sounds like it sucks but it's not abuse. Just incredibly strict and unreasonable parents. Like someone stated above talk to them bout getting more freedom

I tried talking to them,and all that got me was a busted lip,the conversation was like this,"hey dad,can i go into the front yard to play basketball? I just turned 13 a month ago." he said " NO why would you even ask a question like that?" i said because when i was 11 you said i could have more freedom when i was 12, and you never kept your promise" he couldnt even respond, so i got smacked in the face

Now it's abuse.

:)Not legally abusive in CPS terms.
Many parents,especially so called Religious parents don't realize that being so restrictive actually can cause more behavior problems in children and adolescents.
One must find a middle ground where the child's best interest and safety is cared for but the reins are long enough for Co native growth and maturation,without those reins being long enough teens will usually act out,have worse behavior or be emotionally stunted for life's challenges which come from being allowed to make mistakes and learning from them and testing life's variety of waters.
Good luck,a school counselor might be of help in a confidential chat counseling.

Yes it is an ABUSE! Not letting you meet friends, and etc. aren't reasonable. Cannot be called as over protective parents but really an abuse!
