How are the most overprotective parents you know like?

[Bittercelery778]

My friend is 18. Her mom insisted on going to our dance team's national competition. Not only that, she didn't want her and her friends running around the competition, they only let you in after they search you and theres cops everywhere. She insisted on walking DOWN THE STREET, to lunch with us and wouldn't even let us sit at the table alone. She wouldn't even let her go to the mall alone when it was a tiny mall, the whole team went, the sponser and the sponser's teachers, and if we were caught without a buddy we'd get a demerit. They also read her texts, check her facebook & instagram & twitter and read all her updates to make sure that no ones being inappropriate. She isn't allowed ti see PG13 movies either.
Oh and some guy asked her to prom and her moms not letting her go.
She a sophomore (grade 10) though. Her mom held her back in 4th grade because she didn't think she retained everything. & she held her back again in 1st. The Mom, shes an A-B student & always has been apparently

Well the only parents I know are my own, and they let me stay in my room alone for hours after I tell them I want to kill myself so... not even close to protective, let alone overprotective.

[heyy =]]

My best friend's parents used to be very overprotective of her. I remember when she was 14, they were even cautious of her just crossing the street. If she came to hang out at my house, her mom always came. She could never go out with me, like to the mall, unless her mom came along too. Her parents also always texted her repeatedly during school asking if she was okay.

They've begun to loosen up though.

My friend.. I'm going to call her "H"

But in highschool H's mom wouldn't let her go to the mall with me and my other friends who were her friends too, yet she could walk to the mall from her house or our school.
- in 12th grade we were all going to go to prom, but her mom made her blackout last minute and promised to buy her an iPhone if she choose to not go to prom.
- she isn't allowed to have friends over but somehow she got one of our friends over twice, I don't know how.
- she always waited till last minute to okay plans with us when we went to the city and called her parents every half hour to check in

Yeah, weird stuff but that's her mother.

My friend is 16 and her parents still pick her up outside the school gates. When she gets home she has to revise for hours on end, although she gets D's and E's in school, oh the irony. She's not allowed out on weekends with her closer friends. One of her closer friends had to lie to her mum about her grades, otherwise her mum would not allow them to be friends.

No wonder why this girl is rebelling so much.

That is way over the top and bad for your friend. She is 18 and hopefully going off to college and her parents haven't show her how she is suppose to react to freedom. You start cutting kids loose at 16 and by the time they are 18 with luck they are well rounded kids and that don't abuse their parent's trust. I have seen too many kids (girls especially) that were sheltered from the world and when they got out in it they ran amok with drugs, booze and sex and it was their parent's fault.

She's 18. Meaning she's an adult. Holy hell. My mom didn't care that I was watching Orphan Black with my sisters and it's rated TV ma....and I'm 14.

They really shouldn't be doing that, seeing as she's of legal age and could actually move out....

sounds less like her parents are protecting her and more like they are stalking her, I don't really know many over protective parents, as for my own. as long as I tell them where I am and what I am going to be doing I can practically do anything (stay out till twelve, drink, smoke pot) and I am only fourteen! I pity your friend
