I feel like my parents don’t see me as the person I see myself to be..They always say ”When are you going to learn to grow up.” I just like to have a good time and mess around. I enjoy playing pranks on people and they just see it as en-mature. I also want to start volunteering my time around our community but I don’t know how to tell my parents without them making fun of me.. My mom would be like, ”why would you even want to do that.. You don’t have time for that” I am 18 years old and they still haven’t cut off the umbilical cord.. HELP!

If you want them to see you as the person you think you are, show them you are that person, a mature person that takes care about it´s own stuff, show them that if you don´t have time you will make time to do what you want, they can´t decide your whole life for you, it´s your life afterall
