Black eldest daughter and my parents are genuinely holding me back…
I am a 22F and i am a second generation immigrant. As the summer is coming up, I have very bittersweet feelings/memories around this time. My parents are strict when it comes to what time i come back home. Lately, i’ve been pushing it till 12pm but they would prefer 11pm. We’ve fought countless times on this and i’ve been trying to tell them that it’s unrealistic as i am an adult and all my other friends go out until later. However, they do not care/do not understand. I also live in canada in a metropolitan city so going away to college isn’t common here and i’m quite settled in my current university. Anyone have tips maybe or just words of encouragement so i could feel less alone?? I truly feel like i’ve missed out on my teens as i’ve never truly enjoyed going out without worrying about them. (things i feel i’ve missed out on having a boyfriend or even my first kiss… Urghh let me know please). Also would going abroad maybe help?? it’s expensive but i’d rather be father away from them…
