19 Going On 15

My parents have always been very strict with me. Curfews are early, partying is limited, and even hanging out at the house with my friends is under their control. I am 19 years old and am still very restricted to many privileges.
My parents are my everything, and disobeying them breaks my heart. Since i was in middle school, I have been imposed strict rules and was expected to follow them every day. Nowadays, following these rules has become not only a hassle, but a barrier that restrains me do do many things I want to do.
I watched my friends grow up too fast. While all my girlfriends wore heels and owned cell phones, I wore Keds and asked for permission to use my house phone. My parents made sure that my childhood lasted as long as it could and I now thank them for that. Although these rules have become daily headaches and my friends constantly complain about them, i make an effort to follow them.
