[Astar]

For as long as I’ve known, my parents have been unnaturally strict about everything. I wasn’t allowed to meet Friends until I was 16, am not allowed people round, am not allowed to leave the house on my own later than 5 ish, can’t wear dresses or heels, can’t go out late... the list goes on. I’m 19. I’ve always been behind my friends socially... because while they could do everything, I couldn’t. It takes weeks of persuasion to have a day out with friends and it doesn’t matter how old I get it doesn’t change. I’m from the UK and here I’m an adult (18+ is adult) but I’m treated like a child. I’ve spoke to them about it and they just say they are looking out for etc but I still can’t go/do it. There’s seems to be no getting round them but I’m tired of being a kid when developmentally I’m not.
