How old am I?

I'm 17 and almost graduating high school so why do my parents insist on treating my like I'm still in elementary school? (My mom really tried to give me a 9:30 curfew last weekend). Really though? If I was doing something that I shouldn't be doing, I probably would have been in jail a few times by now or at least gotten caught. And yeah, I admit, I have gotten caught for being untruthful but I have learned my lesson.. So why do I still get the little kid treatment?

Shouldn't I get freedom to do as I please? Or at least do as I please to a certain extent. It's as if they have no trust in me.

I work 6 days a week, but that doesn't make me responsible enough..
I am graduating with at least a 3.0, but that doesn't make me responsible enough..
I pay for ALMOST everything, but that doesn't make me responsible enough..
I got into a good college, but that doesn't make me responsible enough..

SWEET!

And the whole honesty thing.. My mom always wants me to be honest with her so when I try to tell her that I'm going somewhere it's like she can always make up an excuse on why I can't go..
"You've been gone all weekend"
Yeah, I've been gone all weekend because I work 8 hour days.

College can't come soon enough.

  1. Sorry, chica, I'm gonna be 24 in a month (oh crap) and my parents are just as bad when I'm under their roof.

    I've lived on my own for a year and a half, sustaining myself and working full time... but that doesn't make me responsible enough.

    They seem to get better though when you're farther away... usually. ;)
