My dad won't let me do anything and he sais I shouldn't even be going ot the mall with friends without him! I'm 12 years old (almost 13) he also thinks I smoke pot whitch I don't! And in the last month or 2 my grades are gone up 60%! I like this guy but I'm not even aloud to go anywere with him or with him and some friends! I really want to know am I just trying to grow up to fast or ism why dad being over protective he sais I can't have a boyfriend intill I'm 45 nad if I have on earlier... he is really protective who I hang out with like I'm aloud to hang out with sluts and whores but not druggies and alcholics! What's the difference! And I'm not aloud to be out past 7!! And so again am I wanting to grow up to fast or is my dd just protective?(groeing up to fast isn't really it because as far as I'm concerned my mind can't grow up anymore! I'm doing everything at home sincei don't have a mom and I'm even getting a job to help with the bills!)
