Declaration of Independence

 

Preamble: I am declaring independence from strict parents. I am annoyed of having strict parents. I can often never do anything without being asked the w’s. I hate having to know that my parents interrogate my sister because they think im lieing about where i'm going. It is obnoxious that i can't even walk out the door to get some fresh air. If i do go out i have to bring one of my siblings and i freaking hate that more than anything.

 

Nature of the Complaint: i would love it if my dumbass parents would just trust me when i go out. It would be nice to finally go out and not get one hundred phone calls five minutes after i walk out the door. I would appreciate if i didn't have to do chores 24/7 and at least get a break on the weekends. I would like it if my parents didn't wake me up at 6am on saturdays to clean. Maybe a day to sleep in would be perfect. Or even let me lock my door and stop assuming i'm doing drugs. I remember this one time i went out to eat at Españas with a couple friends and my mom did not stop calling i didn't answer and when i did she said if i didn't bring a receipt as proof i'd be grounded for a long time. I can't even go out once a week or else they start assuming that i'm doing drugs or drinking. My 14 year old sister has more freedom than i do and i'm 17 it should be the other way around. I find it stupid and i want to have more freedom. To fix this i want to actually have them believe me and have more trust in me because sooner or later i will be old enough to do what i want.

 

Grievances/Complaints: it is unfair that my younger sister has more freedom she can sleep over at her friend's house but i can't. It is unfair that i do all my chores and i still have no privilege to hangout with my friends. It is unfair that they do not trust their own daughter when all i'm trying to do is have some fun.

 

Formal Statement of Independence: i have done everything and anything i possibly can to fix the problem and everything has failed and now the only acceptable solution is to declare independence.
