Depressed over 'Freedom'

[Neari]

It's 9:45pm right now, and I couldn't sleep because I just started feeling depressed.. I think it will help to talk about how I'm feeling right now. I wish I had more freedom. I'm a teenager, we're usually craving independence (stereotypically..). But my parents are pretty protective, and that's veeryyy reasonable. But I just wish I could be on my own in certain things, like to be able to walk outside by myself, to jog outside by myself, etc. Even if we're at a park, I'm not allowed to jog off on my own. However, I see why. They just want to keep me safe. But I still get a little bit depressed when my sister(she's older) can slip out of the house and have some alone time exercising outside, anytime she wants. Without a word. Alright, going to try and sleep now. Thank you for reading, God bless you all. ♥

It will come soon, by the time you have it you'll crave what you had right now that was lost. I experienced every stage of it, just wanting what I thought was coming, getting it and finding new problems came with it, and so and so forth. Freedom's great, sounds like it won't be too long for you before this is a distant memory, but I know that feeling. I had to live with my mom for 30 years... THIRTY.

I DID have the freedom of an adult to a point, but all my actions were questioned, everything I did had to end up involving her input somehow, and I was always being reminded that I don't pay the bills, don't have the right to anything etc etc. Drove me downright mad sometimes. But when I look at what adult life is like? There's a still a mom over head except this one's not nice like mine, that mom is the government, and she's STILL restricting my freedom. It won't end, at some point in your life you'll have to learn to find contentment where you are, but that's the whole trick isn't it?

My sister was three years seven months and three days older than me, and she never let me forget it when we were growing up!
I found it tough at times. She could go places I couldn't. She stayed up later than me, she had much more freedom than me, she had people from the church round for a get together on a sunday after church, while I was sent off to bed. Etc, etc.
I so wished i could have been the oldest.
Your time will come
God bless

yep, maybe you'll look back with love and thanksgiving.

We hover over our girls, they never went out to school but to an Australian school of distance, and were taught at home, the youngest is just now finishing school ,in a few months.

We couldn't send them to schools now with the what the would be taught and what they would be subject to.

The have a good life with real freedom and protection. They can get on a their horses and ride free to a river or lake and carry with them means to protect their horse from something mean or themselves from something evil.
If your folks didn't keep you safe during these years you might have met with a real bad happening. You'll see as you go through life how the people and of course the young are preyed upon.
