Yes, my parents are helicopter parents. My teachers think I'm antisocial female with avoidant features that doesnt know how to use sarcastic and cynical sense of humor appropriately. Teen rebel that pulls pranks on adults. I hate everyone too. Brought a gun and sword to school and carried it in my backpack all day. Thought about poisoning a few gossiping female surface fake friends of mine with my chemistry set.
Our school psychologist is in his 60's this jelly-bean pritzker type hates my guts. I can see how thin lipped and snippy he becoms when around me. Everytime I mention Columbine his face turns white. Actually, I made him cry one time. Its not like he has real empathy either.
He doesn't know that I was raped when I was 9 by one of my grandparents. neither due my parents. I dont think anybody cares about me at all. I'm seriously a crappy teenage monster nobody should cross paths with.
I get good grades at school though. going to university is all that matters to me

Growing up, my father would punish me for the smallest misstep by taking away things I loved or enjoyed doing. Or he would just take it away if he didn't approve of the thing itself for some reason.
So I learned to keep things that made me happy a secret, even though there was nothing wrong with them. It could be anything from rollerblading to music by certain artists to a fort in the woods. I would retreat to my own world for safety and to enjoy things I loved in a space where no one could take them away from me. Or try to tell me that the innocent, harmless things I liked were bad and I was bad for enjoying them.
Now that I live on my own, my father calls me secretive as an insult and has my mother search my apartment at any opportunity, certain I must be hiding something illicit or illegal.
Nope, just protecting my happy little hideaway like always. Don't worry, I took away their spare key.

Jeez, this hit me right in the feels. My mother is by no means cold or unloving, (thankfully) but she was strict about certain things to protect me. While alot of the time those things protected me, I realized over time that I had a very strong pang of guilt/weakness when it came to criticism. My mom has emotional issues and she takes medication for them. But as for me, I've had an illness similar to fibromyalgia since I was about 9. So I confuse wether it's because I'm sick all the time, or because of my mom.
Don't get me wrong, my mother is the most loving person I know. It's just she ended up making some mistakes because of taking wrong medications at times.
I was extremely depressed in elementary school. I never knew why.

I love my mom, I really do, but having a helicopter parent is exhausting. A thing that really sticks out to me is that she treats me and my sister as adults only when it benefits her, all the other times we are her little kids. She wanted to rent an apartment for her and my dad to live in the town near my university so we can be closer (I'm 20 years old now, even though they currently live only 2 hours away by car. She sometimes gets angry that my sister doesn't live with her anymore and complains how she abandoned her now that she has a husband- my sister is 30 years old. The constant closeness just smothers you and doesn't let you develop into a competent adult who can stand on their own two feet.

Im in the middle of watching this and my dad comes out of his office (Im sitting at the kitchen counter because if Im in my room Im supposedly hiding something from them, makes a beeline from the fridge to me, looks over my shoulder, says in the most condescending tone what the hell youre always on your phone (which isnt true Im usually writing, reading, playing my instruments, or at work, and he has the audacity to reach over and TURN OFF MY PHONE, chuckle, and leave.
Keep in mind Im 18 years old, my parents keeping me home for my second year of college and want me to commute to school so I havent had a break from them.

honestly? I love my parents. They're great. They bought me the laptop I'm typing this comment on without expecting a cent. But I feel like they may not realize that I'm growing up. As a 14-year-old, I have never gone out with friends alone, never been to a sleepover, and have never been without my parents overnight. They restrict and monitor all of my internet activity, and they don't trust ANYONE I've met online, even people I've known online for months without even a SIGN of creepiness or even nosiness. And if I bring that subject up? They tell me I need to behave better and be more trustworthy.

I'm finishing my 12th this year my other friends are planning on going somewhere far for college l. but I feel uncomfortable on what to do since I was told rules. many of them and the thought of going somewhere without rules. a clg far from home. for me it is somewhat terrible. Next thing is my parents always has been strict but they've changed as I've grown old. can that mean that they aren't toxic or is it me who has just adapted the environment and normalize it: (

I was a helicopter parent to my only child but not at all harsh or a disciplinarian. As a stay at home Dad who volunteered at school more than any other parent I know I knew what was going on with my daughter as well as her friends and classmates. I did set high expectations but I also told her as long as she did her best I would never criticize the outcome. My daughter is a new mother to her own little girl now and she asked me to be just as involved in her life as I was her moms and I cant wait!

Grew up in a home where my Mother would constantly beat me, mock me or psychologically insult me while giving praise to my brother all the time who (only during school, not anymore) academically did well.
While everyone was crying at Uni when their parents were saying bye for the first day they left them, I was so excited and so happy.
I never moved back home, and never want to again - my hometown feels like a shit place and I hate it whenever I have to go back.

This is the reason I lost my partner due to suicide cause her parents especially her mom was very overprotective and religious so she had little to no freedom to see the outside world and lost hope and gave up due to the stress and expectations placed upon her. I also have had to deal with this issue when I was younger but it's only after her passing that the emotions that I've bottled up are starting to burst at the seams

And sometimes kids just lie for no reason because they just enjoy it. I have two different kids and I try to treat them accordingly. One lies and the other doesn't. So, does that make me the reason they do what they do when they are getting pretty much the same parent? Kids are different and some just want to blame their parents for everything when in fact they are not doing what they need to be doing.

I was speaking with a friend recently who grew up with physically abusive, religiously zealoted, helicopter parents. He joined the military to get away from his family and said that the PTSD, nightmares, and flashback from military service are still better than living with his parents. Let that sink in just how bad abusive parents are.

This is so crazy. As an adult Im realizing a lot of things now that I go to counseling. My mom is a major helicopter mom even to this day and Im 33. I had a suicide attempt 5 years ago and I do feel like some of it stems back to her making me feel like I have to be what she wants and Im always at the mercy of what she wants me to be.

Hate to say this, but why does the narrator's voice have to be so soft and not louder.
Second, why does it have to sound so sensual? Just say it like you're talking to your dad. This is a factual video and you just need to speak on a tone that's loud and clear.

In my view, the authoritarian parents did nothing but molding their children into becoming the next them and continue the cycle. If nothing changed, then the society will remained toxic with dogmatism of traditions, inequality and lack of freedom.

I grew up in very conservative pentecostal family. I got RTS and PTSD today. I am the black sheep. My bro has always been the golden child. I had to work at my parents farm from a young age to be provided with food, clothes and a roof over my head.

The thing is my parents dont give any punishments. They are just not assertive whatsoever. My mom is completely passive while loving and unassertive. My dad is snarky, complex, unassertive and just so normal and non-thinking
