All my life I have been waiting for the day when I could say, "You're not the boss of me!" to my parents. Now that I am of "legal age," I realize it's not all dandy like I thought it would be.
About 2 months ago, I got into trouble because I ran from a cop and stayed at a friends house for a week. When I finally came home, the first thing my parents did was ground me. It's been 2 months and I STILL can't go anywhere or talk to ANYONE. I have become a recluse. I'm supposed to be out enjoying my youth. Instead, I'm locked up. I rather be in jail, at least there I can socialize. If I go out or break my "punishment rules" I get kicked out. But I'm grounded for indefinite time! Sadly I do not have the economic stability to live alone. Is this fair? My parents are ruining my life. I know it sounds cliche, but I need others' opinions.

Well, if you include all the legal shit then I suppose your parents have every right to "ground" you because you do live on their property. :P But if you include all the family shit then no matter what your age you'll always be their little girl. Cliche, I know. But meh. >_<
