Trapped with no freedom
I(15M)have lived in a backwash town for years and honestly hate it since it is small and weak and boring.My parents won't let me walk around town by myself out of fear of kid nappets sayingg things like "The world is a weird place" and "thete are weirdos and creeps" but i never get to just say that there wrong. I understand my safety is important but my development is just as if not even more important my safety. Minors are just second class and don't have many freedoms but you as a parent should want your kids to be strong and smart but if they can't go out into the world as a kid and go one day without adults then they will fail as adults if they don't learn.I feel that i should not have a tracking app on my phone because in all honesty there will come a time as an adult thay nobody will know where you are and you need to keep yourself safe and if you don't learn while you can you'll have to learn the hard way. I don't do hard dr-gs or party and probably won't. I get no relase ir break from school because im always with a family member and school or my parents house. It has taken a toel on my mental state and i am very and depressed because of years of isolation. I love my family but seeing the same people everyday can get frustrating or irritating. I know i need this for my wlbeing but they don't understand and won't give thr idea of me going out of the house without them the time of day when i bring it up with them bringing the same two points to the table and them having the power in the relationship turning.me down then not liking when i have negaitve emotions. I don't want to run away or wait until im 18 and i know that they are unwilling to change. I know that level of self regulation is needed for life and i just wish my parents were freerange or just wanted diffrent ones. I don't want to be a parent because i don't want my son to be antisocial and isolated at 18 or below.
