What should i do with my family problems?


K well im 16, i guess u can im ur average teen. my parents r VERYYY STRICT, their very traditonal and very conservative. we migrated to america when iwas 3 so im pretty much used to american customs, however my parents still enforce my countrys customs for me to follow. they dont let me have a boyfreind, my grades need to be 90orabove or ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE, my curfew is 9:30-10 with a mILLLION phone calls in between, im aloud out 2times week. they think im a "slut" and a 'devil child"

are they right? am i really too much work for them to handle?

They only want the best for you. you do not have a clue about what they are doing now, because you are young. You need to appreciate what they are doing. If you have issues with it, when you turn 18, move out and then deal with the real world yourself.
Parents would never EVER think of their child as a "slut" or "Devil child", so dont even think of that..

Your parents are wrong, and always be wrong. It is one thing to want their child to succeed in life and every parents wishes for their child to be better then they were. But not at the cost of emotional abuse.

The greatest advice you'll ever get from anyone is to just ignore them. I'm not saying not listening to their rules and go wild and be all psycho, but ignore them when your parents say your a slut or a devil. Your parents are not as smart as they think they are, and never will be if they're never able to get past their own insecurities and ignorance.

They are just concerned.

Ask them to hear you out. Tell them that you know they are concern about your safety, but they have tough you well.

Ask them to trust you and you will not let them down. Tell them that you would like to be giving the chance to show them that you are a smart person who has a good head on you and that will always make the right decisions.

You have to give them a reason to trust you, but they need to give you your chance to show then.

No, you are not to much to handle. My mother is from a different country and I to have been through enormous family problems that were strangely similar to yours. You are 16...when i was sixteen i said to myself...only 2 more years. I am very impatient person but i had to learn to be patient and to work with what i had. When your 18 you will be free of those shackles, but don't burn your bridges, you might need them someday.

This is such a common problem for children of immigrants. I guess one way to make them happy is take an active interest in your heritage. Ask questions. Be proud. (I'm sure you are!) Try to find a social club with people your age AND heritage with whom you can bond. Maybe your parents would let you go out with them? And it might be nice to mix with teens who are going through the same things.

As you get older and out on your own, life will be different and you'll have more freedom. I'm sorry they call you those things, because it doesn't sound true! There's really not much you can do. I suggest work on your communication skills and ask if there are things you can do to earn more freedom.

I think we'd need A LOT more information to figure that one out, honey. What's one person's too much to handle is another's peice of cake.

You didn't say where you and your family emigrated from (or what country you're in now), but I know generational differences mixed with culture clashes can create some pretty tough situations. it's hard to fit in into a 'new' culture when you're also expected to adhere to the 'old' one.

Do you know anyone else who has the same sort of background-but who has a good relationship with their parents? They might be able to give you some advice. also, if their parents are willing, they might be able to talk to yours (I don't know how acceptable that would be to your family, but it's a possiblity.)

Also, do a search online-there may actually be support groups for this. if your parents are very traditional, they might be more willing to let you attend social groups that deal with issues specifically about your culture than other social networking groups
