In rules and restrictions that is. Now this is not an issue with being not allowed to see R movies and play M games, as I'm allowed to view any of that at my age (15), but here's where the real problem stands. Just today, when I got home from school, my dad said that we were leaving the house shortly because people wanted to look at our house (I'm moving in a few months) and then he said "We're getting you a haircut". And then I overreacted and said the real truth, in which I said these exact words to him:
"It's my own body and my own hair, not yours. Now I know that you still have some authority over me since I'm still living in your house, but what you don't understand is that my hair is part of my own body"
Then here comes my dad's reaction (I'm putting this into conversation mode):
"*laughs maniacally* Nice try! But I still have authority over your own body"
Me: "But then that means you won't do anything to mess with my facial hair once I grow it"
Dad: "Yeah I can mess with your facial hair"
Then I finally gave in and got the haircut, but except though he wanted to style it all nerdy so behind his back I told the barber to cut in a way where one side of my face has hair covering my eye while the other side is combed over. Then my dad:
"Uh uh. You're going to even it out, no long hair anywhere"
Me: "But dad!!!"
Dad: "Eh, alright"
Then that was that.
But I've been facing a variety of other problems in which my parents are restricting me from, while I'm age 15. They never allow me to attend something like a concert alone with friends, when there's an event where only one parent needs to come with both my parents come with to embarass me, etc. And another big problem:
They won't allow me to have a cell phone yet, when I'm a freshman at age 15 and I really need one!
I keep asking them how badly I need a cell phone like if in case an emergency happens when I'm alone, or I need to call my friends, etc. But then they react by saying "You don't need anything like a cell phone or laptop when you're living with us. You can get one when you leave our house and go to college."
And the list of awful restrictions continues due to my overly sensitive parents' rules. And they tend to get upset if I just hang out with a group of friends of mine at a random place or whatever!
Now before you post, do not reply by saying "Wall of text!!" or "You're spoiled". Now what I'm discussing in this topic has nothing to do with being spoiled, so just a further notice, don't post by saying either of the 2 above.
Can some of you guys give me a summary as to why this happening to me all of the sudden at this age? Were you experiencing these kinds of ordeals right now at a similar age or in the past? Discuss in your post.
