Is your mom going through PMS? My mom is at that age,: Her ob/gyn told us that it'll be 8 more years of this before everything is back to normal again.

Maybe those parents have actual morals instead of your weird libertarian attitude to everything?

Their house, their rules. Don't like it? Get a job, get a place to stay, pay your bills.

I think you should check what PMS is in wikipedia. As far as I know it starts when women come of child bearing age (around 14), and I sure hope your mother is older than that.

He's... He's 13.

*Menopause. That was the word I was looking for. :/

, I don't agree with the "Get a job and leave" argument going on. The kids thirteen. What, you want him to leave school?

Its not that anyone actually wants him to do this. Its more along the lines of, you must live by their rules in their house.

I do admit when you're thirteen you should just listen to your parents. But, I don't see any reason for them not to explain their actions.

offtopic:(Im 17) and my mom just all of a sudden decided that I cant have dark curtains in the basemant to block out the (blinding) sun light when I play a game. She says it's a gateway into becoming a goth antisocial punk. wtf.

That seemed like a personal insult, what he said was perfectly reasonable. It doesn't make sense for parents to have such a negative attitude towards their teens being curious about some things, it's natural.

Way to go all out and insult Urge there.

Insult or not that stuff is corrosive.

Basically, parents are like any other person. Identify and address the underlying problem and you'll be able to solve the situation. I'm guessing your age, your birth order, and your changes have a lot to do with it. And for that, I am sorry because there is really nothing you can do. But see if you can identify anything else on top of those that would be compounding the situation.

I'm 15 and they pretty much give me a lot of freedom. Although they still have the "Where you going? who with? how many?" etc...

You know, when you were a kid there were those other kids that had to go to bed at like 7:30 and went to summer school and had helicopter parents.
So yeah I think my parnets are strating to do that. Before I could stay up as long as I wanted as long as it was reasonable, and my never used to hover because
they truted me that i wouldn't go on "inappropriate" sites. But now all the sudden, my parents just started saying, "You have to turn all your game-boxes off by 9:00, and be in bed at 9:30."
well that's pretty stupid because I never used to have to do that when I was younger,and there wasn't any problems with me staying up all night, so it doesn't make sense that when you get older that you get "bedtimes"
Then they mentioned that maybe they were going to send me to a summer school. Uh Oh.
I've already started going (every day after school i leave right when i get home) but in the summer it's going to be everyday at 9:30 in the morning for 2 hours.
They say it's so "i can be more organized." Well i'm already organized, and have all A's. Oh and my little brother (4th grade) who can't read doesn't have to do this either.
And this "bedime" thing is rediculous. I never used to have one, so why start one now? why in the summer? i don't even get to stay up in the summer. It's really stupid.
I think 13 is sort of old for "bedtimes." And when I say I want to stay up they say "Oh well we have to get up for work in the summer so we have to go to bed."
I don't understand that because couldn't they just go to bed on their own and let me stay up? I mean I don't have to go to work or anything...
i really hate this and want to have a normal summer like every other kid, so what should i do (i can't get out of summer school..) to talk my parents out of going to bed early.
and it's kind of embarrassing too.

I'm sorry, but I don't see how people having six is worth getting offended by. I don't have to mention reproduction, that's obvious enough. but six is also healthy, fun and in general absolutely nothing to be ashamed of or appaled by. Sure, if I caught my future kid watching animal porm or child pormography, I'd be extremely upset. But if s/he was watching regular porm, I wouldn't have a problem with that in the slightest. I'm not enough of a hypocrite to judge someone for something I've done myself.

So you don't think viewing that sort of objectification present in most pormography would skew a young child's view on life?
