I know this is weird but i wish my parents put more restriction on me...?
like they let me do alotta stuff... and i wish they would just say no sometimes...

like they let me keep my laptop in my rom, alotta my friends or cousins cant do that... now i end up staying on it until 3 in the morning.
if i want something, they buy it, they let me do what i want...
they only started this recently...

i just wish they would say no sometimes... i feel if they keep saying yes, im going to become a spoiled brat or go wild or something when im older...

im 16 btw

Wow... your life must be hard.

simply talk to them about it, they probably think it's best for you to make your own choices now because you're almost an adult... but at the same time if you want something and they approve they should have you earn the money for it.. but ya just talk to them because i personally found this out but to truely be free to make your own mistakes and mature your need to have restrictions put in you're life pregnancy question and answersNewborn&Baby

Just be happy. If they let you do whatever you want that doesn't mean that it must turn into something bad. Do whatever you think it's morally correct and you're fine.

Make your own restrictions. You're not going to become a spoiled brat if you aren't already - your parents just trust your judgement and it seems like you haven't given them any reasons not to. 16 is a lot closer to 18 than you think - at some point you'll have to be responsible for yourself and know your limitations. Just because they don't restrict you doesn't mean you have to take advantage of it.

no it's not weird that you want more restrictions, if you always get what you want and everyone else doesn't you become the envy of the group your different your so lucky you so this and that... i understand where your coming from... wanting a little "no" here and there will make you feel normalish... but hey, if you really are a great kid, listen well, work hard and respect your parents, then you are different from every other kid. because those kids gotta learn the hard way. but it's good that you acknowlege this sort of thing, you got a good head on ur shoulders you deserve the rewards, perhaps try and displine yourself say no for them, it might shock them and make them more prepared to get you something you really want/need in the future.

Just because your parents don't set boundaries for you doesn't mean you can't set boundaries for yourself. Besides, aren't you in charge of yourself? You sounds pretty mature anyhow. Set guidelines, goals...stick to them. Even if the goal is to tell them to be a bit more strict. Either way- you control this. You don't have to turn into a spoidled brat just because your parents allow you to do things- learn from it and use it to your advantage. Test yourself.

So...whats the Q?

They trust you not to run off and do something stupid. Don't be upset about that. talk to them and tell them how you feel. You aren't going to be spoiled. They know your limits, and they trust that you do too.

I feel as though I should be asking you the questions...I am both bewildered and impressed by your honesty. As a mother of 2 teenage sons I would really appreciate some input from someone your age on a couple of things. I was addicted to drugs when my sons were very young and they went to live with their grandmothher for nearly 5 years. Although they lived with her I lived just across town and maintained daily contact with them. I got clean, got my act together, and have been clean for more than 6 years now and regained custody of them 2 years ago. It has been hard though going from raising boys who were just little when they lived with me last...to now raising teenagers (one 16 & one 13.) I find myself giving them everything they want & little discipline because I still secretly feel guilty for not being there for them in the way I should have been during those 5 years with their grandmother. I want to be their best friend...but how do I approach being their parent as well. Don't want them to end up like I did...but don't want to risk pushing them away either. Any advice you can offer- no matter how honest would be greatly appreciated. Thank-you.
