These 23 Kids Have The Most Overbearing Parents Imaginable

17.

In middle school I had an online account on a website and also frequented AIM very often. We had moved out of state and I’d made no friends yet. My step mom read every single conversation when I went to visit friends back home and decided to print out a bunch of my things and added handwritten notes about myself on the pages. On the drive home from my visit she told me an officer pulled a guy over in a neighboring state and had found that info packet on me in his backseat and contacted her because he was coming to kidnap me.. I obviously know better now as she didn’t even change her handwriting, but that was really fucked up. I was a good kid and always stayed out of trouble, I’d call and check in when asked.

They came into school to coach their child along side the the sports teacher during cricket practice, and of course they got their own net to bat in. In all honesty, I felt bad for the kid, he was already quite a shy dude and having your dad come in specifically to help you with a sport only puts more pressure on you.

I’m 17, and can’t visit a friends house unless one of my grandparents (who I live with) has met said friends parents. They refuse to let me apply for part-time jobs in a town 20 minutes away. I go to school in that town. I’m not allowed to have anyone ride in the car with me. I can’t get specific styles of haircuts. I have to ask for money to get clothes that fit me properly, and are in a style I enjoy. I’m not allowed to drive passed 6pm. I’ve been stalked to a friends house (caught them driving by) to see if I was going where I said I was. Lot of stuff such as that.

A really sweet girl in my year at school wasn’t allowed to come to Starbucks with my friends and I after school because it was allegedly too late and too dangerous… the Starbucks was in an upscale densely populated area of town, it was 5:30pm and we were 15.
