Thread: What are the effects on children of over protective parents?

I want to hear from your experiences, I have a strict mum who dosnt let me go anywhere. And i feel depressed all the time. And i always want to do bad things.

Whats your story?
10 points to the most touching answer.

The effect = zero. When you grow up you take control of your own life.

well from people i know girls who grow up in a strict house usually go all out in college as rebelion and end up doiing bad in college

it can also lead to bad social skills

I am in the exact same situation and it isn't fun, I sometimes cry for no reason and my parents want to send me to counseling. What I found helps most is talking with someone else that faces the same challenges and either just talking long distance or actually meeting them on a rare occasion that actually am allowed to go somewhere. We should keep in touch, my email is j.normand540@gmail.com I hope to help as much as I can.

i know a few girls who's mom is very strict and over protective trust me the girls turn pathetic!
they are afraid to take control on small things, they lack confidence and they are dependent!!!!

Let her know lol same shit wit me i wanted to hang at my freinds alot, but nooooo i couldnt only like once a month, nd my mom would check on me constantly, then she thought i was doing bad things but i wasnt lol so i just started doin what she thought i was doin, smokn weed!! whenever i went out lol Now i just hang out ALOT witout even caring if she knew or not she eventually got used to it... turned me to smokin dat ganja yo...

i wont be gettin the 10 points but i became a rebel, got kicked out when i turned 19, i live on my own hav my own place and car doin it all for me...my dad forbid me to go anywhere even when i turned 18..it was hell but i always fought back and he hated my strong personality but its me so yea it could mess you up if ya let it

in my situation i became a loner because i mean they want me to go home straight after school

When u have strict parents u feel like ur in a prison in ur own home, most people I kno
with this problem are party freaks, and they have alot of friends that go out alot because they were never allowed to go anywhere. So they feel like great whenever they disobey their parents. If u already smoke weed, u should stop and try exstacy, best drug ever, srry the feeling is to amazing. Imagine being only one on this earth but for some reason u feel like jumping around doing backflips. Makes u super happy

I never had that problem. One of my friends did, though. Her parents were always SO strict, that eventually she began to rebel against them.
