[Help] Mom and Dad will not leave me alone-HELP! Updates to this post /post/206969-mom-and-dad-will-not-leave-me-alone Mon, 30 Nov 2009 04:41:48 +0100 Reply from Prudence /post/206969-mom-and-dad-will-not-leave-me-alone#reply-4397037 I have not read what the rest have written her and this is a very intersting problem u have posted here.Perhaps this will help. when i was 5 my teachers had a confrence with my parents and told them that they would like for me to skip ahead or speed through school…possibly graduate high school by the time im 14 or 15.my father put his foot down and said no. because he wanted me to feel like a normal kid. Let me tell u that if there was a time machine then that would be the only moment i would go back to and force my dad to say yes. u r obviously gifted and as much as u dont want to hear it…ur parents are trying to get u to do the right thing only in the wrong ways. forget about cheerleading for school….work hard and graduate highschool as soon as u can…trust me most people dont even remember high school and it is not a pleasent experience for most. college life is the real life…..once ur in college or university u can join that cheerleading team and still have friends that are ur age on the side. Think about it this way…the faster u graduate and finish ur post secondary education the faster u can start ur own independent life from ur parents and do whatever u want to. also keep in mind that having a normal paced life is ur right. but being normal is not a virtue is is rather the lack of courage, y would u want to be normal and fit in when u r born to stand out and keep in mind that our deepest fear is not that we r inadequate but that we r powerful beyond belief but were all ment to shine. Im not a parent myself…im 20 yrs old lol…so itswasnt that long ago that i was a teenager…believe finish ur schooling, travel and get a job after that…live life…and be fair to urself because the greatest sin that humans commit against themselves is wasting their gifts and taking them for granted! I hope i helped u….whatever u choose to do good luck and God bless.

It will only make the situation with your parents more difficult and destroy any future dreams you may have. You might want to seek help from your school counselor. You really need to keep talking to someone. Let them know how you are feeling and what it is doing to you emotionally. Maybe there is a compromise for the time being. Give your life a chance.

exactly….they need to know that you can make decisions for yourself and hopefully they trust you enough to make the right choices…but by the looks of it you seem to want to make good choices….;]

It would not be very helpful if you express your concerns on this to your parents now because they can be deaf at the moment so it would be very depressing on your part.

I think it is much better if you relax about this for now and try to see how and getting your dream would not be like tomorrow. You still have many years to shape your dreams and make them your reality.

I wish you luck!

hope i helped ;]

Too young for your parents to be getting their proverbial panties in a wad over this - good grief! Hopefully, Grandma will get some sense talked into them. . .

Besides, you are so young, there is plenty of time for this all to go in a different direction. Just be calm and mature thru this situation. It will work out…

At your age, don’t see where this should be a problem now. You can go on to this school and when you become of legal age, you can do as you please.

Anyway, parents at most times interfere with their kid’s life but it only means they think that you can do much more than what you are planning.

But, it is also too early to assume. Because you are still 13 now. When they see you mature and be responsible when you are on your own, they would be able to appreciate your plans for your future.

After all, it is your future. Not theirs.

if you spoke to them, maybe they could have a word with your parents.
Is this affecting your grades at all?

That is what would make you happy. You don’t want to be stuck in a job you don’t enjoy. You think it’s more important to enjoy and be comfortable than to strive for perfection in everything.
