At 14, your brain is not fully developed. The frontal lobe is not fully connected until you're in your 20's and this means that you are not capable of making rational decisions all the time. Basically, you do not have the insight or ability to analyze choices and their consequences and effects on others yet. The brain for a teenager is also more susceptible to addiction, hence the drinking laws being at 21.
Your parents are there to guide you and help you become the happy and successful human being you were created to be. My parents were incredibly strict on me when I was a teenager. I contemplated running away many times. But now I am older and am able to see that I was wrong. My parents weren't perfect but they were trying to do what is best for me. And yours are too. Don't grow up too fast2 1 0 0I kind of understand how you feel. I mean, I also want to be independent, I want to make my own decisions, I want to be me and I want to be taken seriously. Living with parents sometimes takes away your freedom. It's very annoying when they think they know and understand you, but in fact they really don't. I guess you'll just have to wait until you're 18. Get your own place and make your own rules. It may seem far away, but in the mean time you can try to talk with your parents and make it clear to them that you also have something to say.

thanks for the mho. parents are not perfect but parents who provides and protect ones child is worth obeying. Trust in thei judgement. the reason for the restrictions to life is because u are very precious and worth the protecting
Ofcourse I know that parents do all those things because it's their responsibility to raise you the best way they can, but it would be nice if they would try to listen to you and how you think about things.
You are not mentally, emotionally, or physically mature yet. Therefore, your parents, or as you referred to them "guardians", get to make decisions for you. It's something the majority of people have dealt with and it's something you're going to have to get over.

Generally I respect most of the youth on here and feel they are here to learn. But learning means listening to those with experience who can give answers and guidance. The attitude "If you're over the magical 18, try not to answer" shows someone who does not listen to or respect those with the experience to share. And responses like "Die. Go away." just fuel the argument to keep little kids off here.
0 2 0 0I say that to people who keep talking cliches. Most adults that answered were full of shit and the best answer came from a 16yo. TBH, I don't really mind if you don't like me for hating them.
@Asker maybe they are trying to tell you something. Maybe you should listen instead of being an ungrateful little spoiled brat.
Fuck off 😊

4 10I'm concerned because you are viewing yourself as a slave rather than a charge. Are you being exploited somehow?
0 1 0 0No, I'm not being abused. You only care when we're abused, but they you go and give us zero freedom because we're incapable of doing anything at all. I only want respect and freedom. It's not like I obey the law anyway. If I went and turned myself in right now, I'd probably in jail for the next 4 years.
If you would be in jail and aren't then your parents are a protection not a burden. This world is a dangerous and shitty place. Be glad you have four more years to make sense of it all before having to take responsibility for any of it.
Uh... They don't protect me from jail. The sole reason is that I don't turn myself in. They have nothing to do with this
Because they care about you.
0 0 0 0How exactly? If protection means slavery, I want to be free without being protected.
How is that slavery? Be grateful that your parents care about you. Not all parents are like that. And take the time to bond with them.
Telling me to be grateful, giving me advice like I'm a baby. What did I even expect...
not even gonna read this but obviously they made u
1 1 0 0Your not free and never will be. Even when your an adult. You'll realize that the older you get.
0 2 0 0It's about what you define as freedom. Don't assume I lack understanding, this is the worst you can do
Lol. I don't think you understand much about the real world yet. Have you ever had to pay a bill? Worry about rent or a mortgage payment? Have to give up going out in order to buy your groceries? Have you ever even had to pay your cell phone bill yet. Don't underestimate that your parents don't understand you, they were once your age also. I used to think the same way you do now. Now that I'm an adult I understand. Your owned by your parents because your not basically not able
To fend for your self. As much as you like to think you could, you probably couldn't with out having a really shitty life. And if you can't take care of yourself then it's up to your government to. And that costs a lot of money to keep you on welfare or unemployment. That's not fair to the rest of tax paying citizens just because you think your old enough to live on your own. You need your parents help whether you believe it or not, their there to teach you and guide you and protect you until your actually able to do it on your own. There's more layers of freedom than you rink there are. Maybe once your an adult you see that. Right now you think freedom is being able to stay up late amd drunk with your friends on the weekend, cut classes, smoke a joint, go where you please when you please. All those small trivial things. To me freedom has more to do with my rights as a citizen. The worst you can do is assume you understand life and all it's difficulties at such a young age.
Because young people and teenagers aren't known for making smart decisions.
