Do you think your parents are strict if..?
Answer:
I think those parents are wonderful and caring to set boundaries that keep a thirteen year old safe and allow them to enjoy their childhood without being pressured by all the outside superficial influences. I agree with all of this totally and my children have the exact same rules. I have not had any problems with any of them. They have grown into responsible adults who have healthy self esteems and boundaries.
No. Come on 13, is far fom being grown up.
wait for when they are elderly and get back at them, be patient.
HECK YA
I think that they are telling you things for your own good. They are older and wiser and you should listen to them. You will thank them when you are older.
No... they know what's best for their child.
You live under their rules in their house until you're 18, deal with it!!
yes and no some of them are ok some not
Nope, it sounds like they're actually parenting which is a good thing. At least they care about you!
and they won't let you get your liscense either I bet you have got it rough
nope 13 is still a child at 13 i wasnt allowed out after 5pm uless i was at church
No,... it sounds like you have very caring parents. Be grateful for that. Someday, you'll have all of that and you'll understand where your parents were coming from. Be patient. Someday, you'll grow up and then you'll wish you were 13 again. Enjoy it!!
No I think it is responsible for them.
Kids can't really be trusted and if I had a son who was old enough to be online there would be one of those spy programs that records his every key stroke!
Just know they love you and quit being selfish.
I think everything listed is unreasonable EXCEPT for the MySpace thing. You'd be smart to do research as to why MySpace is bad. No offense. I know what you're probably thinking:
"MySpace is safe when I use it because I don't talk to people I don't know, and I don't give much personal information"
Wrong.
Posting a picture of yourself
Giving even your first name
Or age
Or location
Isn't what you'd say just to anyone on the street, right?
Exactly. So by putting that info online, is just the same, or just as bad.
No. I think those are the signs of responsible parents. Strict parents wouldn't allow you to have or do any of those things. Myspace is a shopping mall for sexual predators.of course they should monitor your computer usage - who makes good decisions at 13? And if you want a cell phone - why should anyone else have to pay for it?
yes that is strict. but i can see where they are coming from with the computer thing but 30 mins a day is still strict.
What do you want? To live on your own and do as you please? They love you is all and are only trying to protect you. There are so many people out there that can do you harm. Haven't you ever noticed all the children your age that come up missing? Some are because they got a computer and got on the internet. Think about it, someday you will love them for what they are doing now.
Did you do something? Like realllllly bad? I can understand the myspace thing because those things can get you in alot of trouble, and the cell phone thing, but the computer and CD stuff is a little weird. Sorry
yes
wat if u got a project and need more then 30 mins
wat r u gonna do then
my parents ren't that strict
they give me like anytime i want to use the phone and be on comp
but they expect for me to get the good grades in school in return
not at all there are a lot of creepy people out there you need to be thankful that your parents care enough about you to protect you.
As for a cell phone I'm 34 and I just now got one, so yes I think it's perfectly fair what does a 13 yd old child need with a cell phone?
YOUR PARENTS ARE TRYING 2 STOP CRAZY PEOPLE FROM GETTING 2 U. I DON'T C ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. AS FAR AS MYSPACE AS LONG AS YOU WERE ON ON THERE TALKING TO CHILDREN YOUR AGE. I WOULDN'T C ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT. AS FAR AS THE CELL PHONE. I FEEL THAT ALL PRETEENS NEED A CELL PHONE. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU MIGHT NEED IT IN AN EMERGENCY. GOOD LUCK
Well, it depends. If your doing work its strict. But if its for fun, 30 minutes is okay, but what I think is it should be 45 minutes. Taik to them. Really, I think they're very wise. Respect them.
No, they are not too strict. You really don't need a myspace and what are you going to do on the computer? Why do you need a cell phone? Those are not cheap for one and there are better things to spend time on than talking on the phone. Wait until you are a parent and you will understand. They are #1 trying to help you prepare for life, # 2 they are trying to protect you from wackos at myspace, and #3 they are trying to teach you a sense of responsiblity.
Good parents.
No. It just means that they care about their child and don't want them exposed to all that bad stuff.
Yes, the parents sound strict. But what is wrong with being strict. It's a lot better than not caring at all. If the 13 yr old is responsible in other ways, hopefully the parents will lighten up a bit.
13 is a tricky age. You want to be free, but your still young and your parents still hold the purse strings.
Perhaps if you initiate responsibility and see it through, maybe they will give you some freedom.
Some parents just have a hard time letting go.
no! those things are for older people... a 13 yr old does not need a cell or a myspace account..
They are trying to give you leeway, it's just a little over the top. They don't want your eyes glued to the computer screen all day, and they don't want you getting on without their knowledge. Also, you are far too young to have a myspace...it can be a dangerous site depending on how you use it. Wait til you get in high school to get one. Also paying for a cell phone isn't too bad...teaches u responsibility. Try U.S Cellulars pre-paid phone...u just pay at least 15 dollars every 60 days for minutes...it's a cheap way to have a cell phone.
Sounds like your parents are right on track to me. You're only 13, they know what they're protecting you from.
