I'm 16, and I don't have my permit yet. My Dads say it's because he wants to wait until he gets a second car because he doesn't want me to wreck the only car we have. Sucks, because we won't be able to afford a second car for years.
Yesterday, I was talking about how when I do learn to drive I can't wait to go skating, go to the mall, makes friends, ect. And, he said the skating rink wouldn't be a good idea because it's got a rough crowd. So, I said the mall would be a great hangout place for me. He said, he's not comfortable with me being in a crowded area anywhere because I wouldn't be able to defend myself if someone tried to hurt me... he doesn't want me to ever go anywhere without him :confused:
I'm growing up. I want to learn to drive so I can make friends, go off and do my own thing. I try to hint this to him because I don't have the heart to tell him, because it would hurt his feelings. But, I honestly feel that the main reason he won't teach me to drive is because he doesn't want me to go anywhere without him. I honestly, don't think he will teach me to drive until I'm like... 25 ._.
He hates being around people, so we never go anywhere. We're always at the house. He likes it that way. I hate it. I want to be around people my own age. I feel like he's keeping me in this little bubble, cutting me off from the world. He's afraid I'll get hurt. But, I'm not 6 years old anymore. I'm a teenager. I'll be an adult soon. I don't know how to convince him to teach me to drive, and let me go places on my own... :what:
