My parents are very strict and like to assume the worst. Once I was in a really good, giggly mood. I had just come home from my friends house when my parents started accusing me of smoking pot. They said my eyes were dilated and that I never act like that. I was in so much shock that they would just accuse me of something I did not do. I had to come up with a lie to protect myself from something I didn’t do. This was not the last time it happened also, they are constantly asking me if I drink and the ansrew is always no because I don’t and it gets frustrating. They also get mad at me when I talk to guys. I cannot even be friends with guys because according to them “all they want is sex” I think this is an unfair accusation to put on every boy my age. I cannot even talk to my gay friend without being accused of wanting to date him. I was even in a really great relationship last year for about two months, but when they found out they made me break up with my first and only boyfriend and even though that may not seem like a big deal. He meant a lot to me at the time and I lost a good thing that day. I understand they just want to protect me but I feel that sometimes they go to far. I can’t have a Facebook or any social media at all because they think something bad is gonna happen. I’m almost sixteen and I know I’m still a child but I feel like I deserve more freedom. Am I wrong? How do I stand up to them?
