Trapped in the house and going crazy?

[zbo95]

Okay so i'm back home from college my freshman year in my boondocks home town. I have no friends here and it's the exact opposite of my life at college. It's slowpaced i spend everyday inside and have nothing to do. I've sent out 20+ applications haven't got a job. Instead i'm just sitting at home being annoyed by family day in and day out. I feel like I'm getting fatter sitting in this house doing nothing because of my lack of movement. I want to go bike riding but I'm sure my parents will dissaprove. I mentioned it last year and i was told i could get attacked by animals or some weirdo on one of the back trails. Since there are no side walks here the only trails are the long back woods ones . I have never heard of anything bad happening here but they beg to differ and think i'll die or something. To describe how they are let me just mention a few things they've done . I couldn't play xbox live in highschool with people unless she met there family and had dinner with them, in the mall if i went to the bathroom dad would think I could get attacked or something in there.They often think I'm going to be in trouble doing anything,so i don't tell them half the things i do or done and it's not even anything bad. I went to college in the city and did things without any superviison

So the problem is I want to go outside and bike ride on these trails. I know there going to want to join in and make it a family thing but in all honestly I'm with them 24 hrs a day and would like some alone time.I also see the scale slowly creeping up only about 2 pounds but still going up slowly like it does every summer. How can i convince my parents to let me go out. They think everything is dangerous and i've never been able to do anything without going through some long application process.After living a year of freedom I just need to stay in movement to stay happy

Take a real serious talk on trust and your health issues. Say how you're already in college, almost got a job yet can't take a jab at some healthy things. Tell 'em to slow down a mo' and really think over the true risks if going to a shopping mall, for example, there's guards all over and there'd be a hard time for criminals to escape after doing anything wrong with you.

Make sure that they know that you understand their worry as a form of love and care, but now you need a bit more space doing things that aren't really too dangerous. If you don't have a history of drugs (as far as they know), use that as a point into why you know how to avoid trouble.

And in your speech, be firm. Always be assertative when possible and show that you're ready to handle the world.

Hope this helps. Best wishes and good luck.
