My parents beat me up if I talk to anyone on phone or if I go out with friends. They don’t give me any pocket money. They are always asking me, whom do I talk to in school. I don’t know what to do. Please help me. At times I feel like running away from home or joining a hostel. Why do we have so many restrictions at this stage when earlier I could go anywhere without any problem?
One of the better ways to handle this is to directly talk to your mother or father (towards whom you feel more comfortable and uninhibited) and express your feelings frankly to them. Find out the reasons for their allowing you the needed freedom. Assure them that you will abide by what they say and will spend the pocket money only on the items they permit. It is in you on convince them that you will not go astray or get into my problems. With the kind of atmosphere these days, parents naturally worry a lot for their daughter lest anyone hurts her. Running away from home is not a solution, but if you want and if they permit, you can definitely move into a hostel.
Anything you do, should be able to make your parents feel confident that you will not be hurt but will be safe. They have to trust you and your ability to look after yourself.
