My mom isn't very strict, but my dad is... He doesn't allow us to dye our hair...my sister who is already 19 yrs. old, just highlighted her hair and got blasted by my dad...and now, after 2 weeks, he is still grumbling about it. He thinks that people who dye their hair are 'bad'. He doesn't like girls (which is my sister and I) to have a lot of friends because he said that girls at this age (those who are still in school) do not need to have a lot of friends since they should be spending most of their time studying. Plus he thinks that having too many friends would be a bad influence. Obviously he doesn't allow us to keep in contact with any guys either. But on the other hand, he encouraged my elder brother to have a gf when he was only 15 or so...when my brother was younger, he always stayed in his room and played video games or went on the internet, but my dad would scold at him and keep nagging him to go out and make more friends rather then to stay at home... Sometimes I really can't stand his attitude...are ALL parents more lenient on their sons than they are on their daughters? My brother gets to go out ALL the time and stay out late, go clubbing, etc, ect...but my sister and I aren't even allowed to dye our hair? What's up with that?! I just think it's unfair. <_< My mom, however, is cool. She's not as strict as my dad, but she still doesn't allow my sister and I to stay out after 8pm! So are any of your parents like this?
Yeah, my dad is a dictator, but he and my mom are already divorced. When my dad was still around, he wouldn't even let me talk to boys, even though we went to co-ed schools. He didn't let me watch tv, other than the news because he thinks that it'll distract me from my studies. I also wasn't allowed to talk on the phone after 6pm. I couldn't go out on weekdays, and on weekends, he signed me up for SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) prep classes, which were sessioned in the middle of the day, so I couldn't go any where. My mom is kinda traditional. She's ok with the dyeing of the hair & going out late as long as I bring home decent scores, but she doesn't allow me to go to pool halls, clubs or karaokes because she thinks that only bad kids hang out there. She absolutely disapproves of smokers, and you can't even talk to her about tattoos or piercings because she thinks that only gangsters have those. She also won't let me sleep over @ any of my friends' houses.
My mom used to not let me wear tank tops...I wasn't allowed to get second ear piercing until I was 15, not allowed to go to movies past dinner time. But then I scared the crap out of my parents when I ran away when I was 17 and since then, I can do whatever I want, no curfew, no nothing. They don't even call my cell if I don't come home. then you realize that doing all these rebelious things is not fun anymore (= It's like underage drinking --once you're of age, you drink less well some people anyway
yea...the parents are usually strict cause i guess they worry about the girls more than the boys.....and they do treat the boys a little more different....but for the girls they do get more over protected......
yes my parents are very strict. Although i'm 19, my parents don't like me to go out late, by the time it hits 11:00, my phone starts ringing off the hook if i'm not home. sigh...

Yeah, my parents are basically like yours. I can't wait until I graduate from HS and move out. I can't stand their constant nagging at every single thing I do. I mean I don't hate them or anything, I just want more freedom, you know? Plus since I'm the youngest child in the family, I'm always the one to get yelled at <_<.
OMG your parents are exactly like my parents! I'm not allowed to date until after university, not allowed to have many friends as they think the more friends I have, the 'wilder' I am, not allowed to go over and visit a guy friend's house (not alone). And that free time should be devoted entirely to studying!
The reason why your parents nag at you is because you are still young and are still irresponsible and immature. Once you are mature and responsible enough, your parents will stop bothering you. I've moved out of my home right after graduating from high school. It's a HUGE responsibility because you always have to do everything yourself. Not to mention, almost half your money is gonna go to rent & utilities. The main reason why I moved out was because I wanted to go to my dream college & home was too far away from it. But if I could choose, I'd move back home in a heartbeat. I'm the youngest in the family, and I always get yelled @ for what my bro & sis did. But even though don't live @ home anymore, I still call my mom often to see how she's doing... & without fail, 3 out of the 5 times that I call her, she'll yell at me for something I didn't do. But I don't get mad at her because I know that she's super stressed & she has nobody else to vent to.
