  • Essay / My overprotective parents - 835

    I should point out that one of the biggest problems I have during this time is the time I go out alone without my family. When I was younger, my family let me go out more, because now that I'm a teenager, the dangers and mischief have increased. My parents have now become hard to convince because of everything they hear from others and society, so this is having a negative effect as they are starting to follow their advice. They let me out, but if I'm late, they start panicking, screaming and yelling. After we moved from Lebanon to Syria, things started to improve, but a lot changed and the problems started to become clear. There are many reasons for this that I consider unreasonable and unfair. First, it is true that they let me go out with my friends at a certain place and at a certain time. It's because they don't like me going out on the street around 9 o'clock, they think it's too late, except when it comes to parties and internal events. They usually don't allow me to go out on the street alone at that time because of people who might harm me. They have the right to do so, and it is true that many deaths and other mishaps occur around the world. On the other hand, what I find most exaggerated is the fact that they don't understand that I am a mature and responsible adult who knows what is right and wrong in life. They still think I'm the little girl who doesn't know any of the dangers of the world, when deep down I do. When I go out with friends, it's usually in the afternoon and that's when they let me, but if I'm late by an hour or so, then there's a hurricane in hours for that and for a stupid fact that... .. middle of paper ...... I have never done anything bad and irritating in my life and they trust me so much. But they are still afraid of me and they want me to always be with them, I always tell them that they should let go and stop clinging because there will be a day when I will have to take my own responsibilities and that is there that I'll have to do everything alone and they won't be there for me. Obviously, developing a philosophy of life from a young age, as if doing everything alone would help me throughout my life, because by then, I would no longer need my parents alone and that's what I think I'm right. The only thing they should think is let me go and see the results because I will never disappoint and they know that, they just have to have the courage to let me do what I want, that is -say let me go. And of course, they should take responsibility for what they learn next..
