Hi Tanichci, I am a 56 year old mom and a grandma. You need a voice of reason here. 1st of all, you are a minor which puts you in a tough position. Unless your parents are beating you, you can't go to authorities. You are homeschooled, which isolates you from the normal school activities. I have seen kids like you be so overprotected that when they finally get away, they go nuts and get in all kinds of trouble. Please don't be one of them. Your parents probably think by keeping you away from the sins of the world, that they are being good parents. I am not critizing them, but I didn't raise my daughter like that. I exposed her to the world in a positive manner and made sure she saw what happens when kids make the wrong choices. When you become of age, don't go do all the things your parents never let you do. That would be self destructive behavior.
As for right now, I am sorry you are treated in such a manner. Take notes my dear, for one day you might be a parent yourself and you can be a better parent to your child because of what you are going through yourself. As you said, you have 3 more years. At 15, that can seem like a lifetime. Start planning for your future. Do your parents have plans for sending you to college or a trade school? If not, you might consider the service such as the Navy, Army, or Air Force. Many a young person leaves the service with a full scholarship, not to mention the schooling you can get while in the service. Plus, that would give you some time to get things sorted out on what to do with the rest of your life.
Please don't fall into the trap that some young man will take you away from all that. Don't get married, shack-up, or live with some guy just to escape your home life. Talk about jumping out of the frying pan into the fire!! Then you will find out the hard way that fairy tales are just that-fairy tales. Plus, it's even worse if you have babies to drag through divorce/breakups.
I know you don't want to hear this, but suck it up and do the best you can. Be patient, you are growing up and nothing can stop that. Don't be rebellious because that will mean tighter controls. Use that head of yours to plan your future beyond just getting out of your parents home. Think about tomorrow, next month, next year, 10 years on down the road. 10 years from now, where do you want to be and what do you want to be doing? What do you need to do to get there? Study, do well in school. Do your very best and make the best grades you can. Employers don't give the best jobs to dummies.
I know you love your parents and your family. It is only natural to complain sometimes, especially when you feel suffocated by excessive rules. Anywhere you go, there will be rules and when you break them, the results can be nothing you really want. Make up your mind to go along with your parents rules. You won't be 15 forever. Don't act out and get in trouble, sometimes that can follow you the rest of your life. Start growing up and plan for your future.
And as always, you can always come here to vent. We will listen, offer advice and love you no matter what.
