 | Unfortunately for your argument, you're showing a great deal of immaturity. You show an incredible amount of selfishness and short-sightedness in your argument. "I want to date!" and "It's so unfair that I can't!" are the two thoughts that you're putting out in your message.
You might think that you are very mature, I mean you've already been around for almost a decade and a half. But you don't display maturity. You don't communicate to people that you are a mature person, either through your words or actions. And you know what? Your parents probably see that.
You know when I was 15, I was allowed to date, and had very few restrictions in my life. No curfew, no having to tell my mom where I was. And you know what I did with that freedom? Got home by 10 every night, because I didn't want to be fatigued the next day, and told my mom where I was out of respect for her. And I didn't date much because I couldn't find the right person.
Mature people don't need to be controlled, because they have self-control. I didn't mind if my mom asked about my personal business because nothing was out of order. And you know what happened? Eventually she stopped asking because she trusts me. We were able to change from being parent and child to being two mature people.
So, as long as you have things in your life that your parents wouldn't agree with, they have every right to know because they are mature people trying to protect you and you are giving them reason not to trust you.
Being an adult isn't about doing whatever you want, it's about having the option to do whatever you want and *actually doing* what's best for you.
And your message shows me, other adults, and your parents that you're not there yet. |
