I hate my life i feel like im in prison I am not allowed to do anything. My parents wont let me put whenever I see a guy and say hi my mum gets angry.I hate life.

Like last week i went to the fun fair wit 2 of my mates n my parenst n sisters. I saw this guy frm skool n we started talkin.My mum called me n took me home.She was angry I felt so embarrased n my mates came home with me.i felt i ruined it for them and I felt so guilty.The worse thing was one of my mates werent allowed to talk to guys n was terrified my mum mite tell her parents when they came to pick them up.I felt like crying I felt so guilty.

Its thing like this that makes me wanna do more stuff behind there bak.I am terrified each time I lie I mite get busted and i dont want them to feel disappointed or like complete failures.I try not to but feel like theres no choice.I told them how i feel but they keep sayin that they would thank me in dthe furture.

Help me please.

:(😭

Not only that I am not alowed to go out woth mates and my mum constantley has a go with me.I have no family to turn towho understand.I tell my older cousin but all she says is u would fank ur mum in the future I have no other older cousins who I can talk to . When i talk to my mum we end up arguing and stop talking to each other for a sum time so unfair .

For example
This summer my parents didnt take me anywhere on holiday.I listen to may parents and stay at home n not go out.The dont take me out and refuse to let me go n visit my cuz in a different country coz she finks there not well behaved.They expect me to stay at home watching the same programs over and over agen n.

oooo so you have talked to them about it and they say that dont worry, you will thank them in the future?

Ok, first thing is, don't do stuff behind their back...i mean you will do it to get back at them, but at the end of the day, you will be hurting yourself in the process. It's like saying, "i will fail my subjects, just to piss them off"...at the end of the day, ur hurting urself.

btw, how old are you?

next time ur mum gets angry about u talking to a guy, just ask her point blank, "mum don't you trust me? you know i would never do anything to betray ur trust". asking her directly and on the spot, may get ur mum to think about it and instead of saying "it's good for u" she may actually re-think.

or u cud say, "i feel that you don't trust me" instead of "mum dont you trust me?"

and r u the eldest child? so many times, parents get scared...coz of girl and coz eldest.

but yeh, next time this happens, just talk about her trusting you and that u will NEVER betray their trust and go behind their backs.

but also, if ur young, then don't worry about it, she'll loosen up as you get older, when she gets more used to the idea that guys also go to ur school. maybe when u talk to mum how ur day at school went, just mention a thing or two about sumfin funny a guy did. (no, at the start do not say that u were talkin to him. just what ur class clown said to the teacher in class that day lol)
and den slowly she'll start gettin used to guys names being chucked into convo and then realise that u go to a co-ed. (u do i hope?)

but yes, dont worry about it, things get better with time, u may not realise it yet, but they will.

same thing...but my parents dont interuppt or take me home..maybe talk to me later{yell actually} like "who was that?" or "why were you talking to him" and stuff like that....but what you shud do is look straight at your mom...and say "i've never broken your trust{i hope you never have lol} and i never will...i dont want to do anything behind your back so you have to trust me" etc.
it works ;)

Well, parents are a bit more protective of especially their girls. So that's probably the reason they do this but I can understand that it gets a bit annoying actually really annoying.

But talk to them and have a discussion. Tell them that if they can send you to a world where only girls live then you can only talk to girls, but in this world people of both gender live and you have to talk to guys all the time. That doesn't mean that you're doing anything wrong.

If you have an open discussion then it might help.. Also let them know that if they pushing you like that then you might end up doing stuff behind their backs and neither you nor they want that.

I would let the guy friend talk to your mom... Might make your parents see how nice the guy is... But let your mom know, "I have guy friends too".....But i think talking helps, even when some parents dont want too..

lol nooooo!!! do not let the guy friend talk to ur parents...that may makes things work.
lol AsliiGuy, that advice would have worked if the situation was vice versa (like if a guy wasnt allowed to do anything, so get the girl friend to talk to his mum) BUT it doesn't work in this case.
Because, quite simply, she's a girl and he's a guy. The mum will probably get angry and be like, "u been talking about family stuff to guys?" 😆
LoL, no sense of logic i know...but trust me, from the situation, getting the guy to talk may actually worsen the situation. *sigh* the hard life of the good indian daughter. lol

awww don't hate your life sweetie, I was in this position once and my mom also used to tell me the samething as your mom tells you. Just as bewafa said, don't do things behind their backs and don't lie as it's going to hurt you not them. I pretty much agree with bewafa.
with your mates, you told them your feelings and they told you to don't worry and they will thank you in the future .. hmmm .. don't blame yourself just because your mom embarassed you in front of your mates.
my advice is to either talk about guys with your mom starting of the conversation as "this guy in my class (describe a situation he did) or whatever that made you laugh or smile" OR you can wait until you're between 18 and 20 to slowly start talking about guys with your mom. I think the slowly you talk about guys with your mom, she will be comfortable. My mom was the same all my teenage life even when I was 20 but now she's comfortable with me talking about my bf with her.
just as bewafa said, if you are the eldest, parents are usually scared for their daughters being in a relationship. I think parents fear their daughters talking to guys because they don't want their daughters to get hurt.
talking to guys behind your mate isn't a good idea but talking to guys in front of them possibly could be but as long as it's not in front of your mom. Most girls lie to her parents but not to friends. I pretty much hid the story about my bf for a few months until the time came that I had to tell her.
best of luck 😊

I think bewafa meant was ask your mom if she trusts you not your mates or the guys 😆 (i didn't meant it in a sarcastic way 😕)
yea I agree with ur mates, don't ask people if they trust u or not. You'll know if they trust u or not as your inner instinct possibly can tell you or a feeling.
there's nothing wrong in responding to guys when they come up to you and start a conversation. It's ok to say hi to guys.
