page 1 of 2

my parents, especially my mom, is super strict to me about going out with my friends. in fact, now that i'm already a teen, i've only been out for five times with my friend in my entire life! i just want to know when your parents think is a suitable age to go out without them...

Hrmmm i am rushing for time but i'll start this thread up with some spice and edit on later to help you out.

My friends with traditional parents never let them go out later than 8pm. and must be back by then. ( 5 pm for girls) But that is over 11yrs ago.

Who me ? :) MY parents never put me on a curfew. On why i do not know. They just expect me to be home before 10pm before i age 10 and that are the houserules i abid then. XD So, far, we do have some sour conflicts over my late night outings but that was about... 8 years back ... XD Nowadays, they don't bother. `Cause they are retired and loving it. XD It's more like, they trust me to think responsible ...of which i don't know how best to describe it. XD

O`well.. be back later. Morpheus calls. ;)

well i was someone who always stayed inside the house till your 12th.....except for going to school i usually never go somewhere else....
because of that my mom always tries to find a way to throw me out to cut me off from the TV....
in the present now im going out with friends and my mom really likes that and doesnt even care if i come home around 2 am.

Well ... it depends! :) On you're family ... on you're frends ... it depends one meny things. Sometimes you're parent can be over-protective and teat can give you the impresione teat they are kiping you in just because "you're not old eaf yet". I hade the same probleme whit mine. But I practecly have a reasone: my parent don't whant me to be too close too people just yet. Staing at home, they are convinced noting rong coul hapen to me.
At first I whas feling torned away from the world, but then I finaly found a whay to look at it in a nother whay. Since I whas hering every day hove nasty it is auth there and hove meny ofel things happen every day, I started to understand what they dide't what me aut there just whit my frends.
I must say, things have changed since then. I growe up and became more responcible. In fact, if I can ask my parent if I can go aut, they ofthen say it's Ok. Last summer I rely actualy explored my home-towen. But T=they still have daughts when regardin my frends.
Because I'm soo trusting, my parents have second thaughts when I ask if I can go to a class-mate's birfday. But I can understand them nowe. They just whant to knowe I'm safe. I'm not complitly growed-up yet, so I don't knowe exactly howe the word rely is and my frends ... well, let's just say they don't ofthen see things the whay I do.

I think the parents are actualy looking for a singn from you. One teat will thell them teat you are quite redy to do this and ou are shure of what you can do. They whant to be shure you can teke kere of youreself and teat you're frends have no intentione to hert you in eny whay. Because, even thaught some of them may seme to have the best intentiones, you can nver knowe what liese in the human heart. So, next time you go aut, be shure to be carefull ... even whith frends.

But to be perefectly frenk, I am the "in-dore" tipe. I hardly go aut ~ exept if it's rely necesery. And not like I have the time eather ~ the teachers ae boming us whit all those hard factswe need to remember ... and all teat homework ... howe I hete maths...

i started going out with friends when iwas in 6th grade.. how old was i back then? ohyes 10! but it was very rare and if they did let me go out it would have to be mostly or all girls since i am a girl. curfew was 5-6 so it wasnt bad. now that im 15, i have a busy schedule so my parents are really lenient now. i don't go out a lot anyway. i go to movies once in a while, birthday parties or just to hang out. but i care a lot about my education so i balance it out.

i dont know how old you are but i think by 12 you can go out with friends because its pretty reasonable to me.

i don't quite remember but i think it was age 13 or 14 when i started to go out with "friends" or wutevah, i don't think i ever had me 1 of those curfew thingies, my mom didn't realy care much for shit like that, thing is, i probably shouldn't of come home at sunrise (from 4-6 a.m.) sometimes, didn't help that i wa part dunk sumtimes to, but hey i had good times hah goood times, now the only places i go out ove here is going to "work" to go watch a movie at the theatre (with family/friends) or just hanging out with my "friends" at some of my usual spots usually at nighttime, since that'd be wen i have the most free time, that's what sucks about moving to a new state or country, i don't get quite used to it as fast as i would hope so, but yea i stil have bits of fun, last week i got to hang with some friends and we went down to austrailia ad caught Arch Enemy among other bands down there.

I've always been allowed to stay out with my friends ever since I think 5th grade. I was mostly over my friends house till like 8pm on weekdays in summer, since the sun doesn't set around 8:30 - 9pm. As I got older... jeez, I can't remember, one day I was home. I was out heaps and heaps, spending my time outdoors playing sport with friends from morning to night.

But now.. it hasn't stopped, lol. Sometimes I would go out with my friends and spend the night at his place. My parents don't care about when I come home as long as I'm safe, they have not much to worry about... except for the cash I'm spending. Lol. I go out daily now with my friends to the mall and just hand around. I've had heaps of fun lately.. and it's not going to stop for some long time... I finish school in a few weeks.. and you all know what that means! PAAAAAAARRRTTTTTTTTYYYYYYYYYY!

I started going out with my friends during 8th grade.. so uh.. when I was about 13-14ish? I dunno, my parents didn't really mind, as long as I was home safe. >__>

well my mom never gave/gives me a cerfew and i think that she doesn't because she really trusts me
plus I always call her up and tell her wats going on.
I think it really depends on trust when it comes to this kinda thing because of certain things but my advice is to talk to her calmly not going up to her and start screaming
"MOM U NEVER LET ME GO WIT MY FRIENDS, IT'S NOT FAIR!" approach her nicely and you never kno wat the outcome will be
also try proving to her that u are trust worthy and that you wouldn't do anything stupid when ur wit friendz... I'm saying this cuz most stupid things happen when wit ur friendz...
Try taking my advice it wouldn't hurt.

well my mom doesnt cares as long as i dont fail in my exams.. thats in high school.. now in college im far away from home so.... ^^

Up until middle school my best friends lived next door and across the street so I was allowed to go play with them when ever I wanted. And there was a rec center a stones throw away so I would go there whenver I liked, too.
During highschool I got pretty good grades and my parents knew I dispised drinking and knew I didn't smoke so they trusted me to go out when ever I wanted. I didn't even have to tell them where ever I was going because they trusted me that much
Now I'm pretty much independent from my parents so ya.

I remember my first "outing" with just friends (no adults) was when I was 10. I think the reason why they trusted me was because I had been to the public library, walked to school, and visited the local deli by myself...so in a sense, I was kind of street smart. But it's kind of funny, cos I found growing up doesn't necessarily mean more freedom. Infact, now that I'm older, my parents have gotten relatively stricter with me because of the greater exposure to drugs/rape/attacks at my age.

I believe if im nt wrong...

my was when i was about 9 plus years old...

Haha...

Staying over at my friend's hse...

^ ^

I see....I was going out by my friends with permission from my parents sice i was 15 years old. But, my mom always worry if i hang out until 9 pm or more late.... in that's cause, i'm always suggest my mom "i am still have some business with my friend"..... But, it's not makes me hurt, it's just traditional parents guide, you know, buddy?

Let see,
I think they let me go out since I was.....
5 years old, the place was peaceful so there was nothing to worry about,
oh yea and once I turn 16 I leave the family to start living on my own.

like when i wuz 14 i think....hahah im 15 now....parents r so overprotected

LOL, try living with chinese parents. My parents can be really cynical sometimes.. really scares me.. heh. :O Asian parents oWn their kids. XD It's a fact of life. You try and start a big ass revolution against them, they'll rape you so fucking hard you'll never do anything rebellious again. Asian parents know how to control their kids.. like no other. >_> mine are the worse; they're conservative democrats (what the hell does this mean! UGH!). They think like republicans but call themselves democrats. I have no idea what they do though lol.

One killer thing my dad says:
dad:"you can't have a bf until you're 30"
Me: Sure... (lol)

or my mom
Mom: "You can't marry anyone but chinese. Not Korean, japanese, black, white, nothing. Ah, he has to be rich and should be an ivy-league graduate"
Me: You're retarded

(but they mean good though^^)

Yep Yep

And to answer your question, I'm not alowed to go out with my until I'm 16 :0 happy happy, joy joy. With that said, signing out.

Hahaha,agree with xxcopyright but yeah,not all asian parents oWn their kids. XD

My parents for example,couldnt control me(im rebellious) so i have freedom,but at the cost that my relationship with them is bad.

At least 16 years old.

well i think it was 11..! ^.^ i was primary 5 then..!

I was allowed to go out any time. The only probably is that i didn't have any friends back then :sweat:

If you are a girl and going with a guy that your parent don't know.
I beleive the answer is never =p.
but since im a guy, i never been restricted. but when i'm still under 9 i usually must be at home at 9. or they'll completly lock me outside (tried ones, i was left outside until 12).
starting 12. even i usually spend a night at netcafe or spend with my friend they'll let me but notice them first.
Keep your promise and keep it all the time, i belive there will be time when thay will let you ^ ^

When i graduated from school n declared myself adult.

For me it's around age 11-12, I was pretty much independent on my own then so my parents wasn't really worried about such things. I guess they trust that I can take good care of myself while I am out.
