Do your best to look like Janeane Garofalo, and to adopt her "informed" way of thinking!
No, that's illegal. Call the Child Protective Agency if this is happening to you.
Parents are not "evil" they are protective over their children.
They're too danged over-protective.
Yes. The 17yo is still a minor and the parents are still obligated to provide for her. Call Child Protective Service.
Parents are required by law to protect their children. Not to mention the fact that they protect you because they love you.
Because they are stupid and over-protective
Don't let you stay out too lateOver protective parents will regularly monitor your phone and computer
they can kick you out at 18 or ditch you in an orphanage
no by law they can not
I have over protective parents too. It helps to prove to them that you are responisible and can take care of yourself. Before you go on the date, offer to have your parents meet the guy or girl. It might be hella awkward but if you really like the person, it'll be worth it in the end. Your parents will see how much you want to go on this date and they will feel more comfortable letting you go.
Yes, most likely. Most girls don't appreciate how their parents watch over them; they want their freedom even though their judgment might not be what it should be so they could protect themselves.
yes Teens get wild because they choose to. Some children of overly-protective parents rebel and go against the way their parents raised them, but this doesn't mean all children of overly-protective rebel. Some children of overly-permissive parents rebel but they are usually testing their boundaries. "Getting wild" is a choice, usually from a lack of or a rejection of self-control.
