you tell me i need to grow up, yet you never let me make my own decisions mistakes or anything. if you want me to "grow up" then you have to let go and let me "grow up" .

Ummmmmm yeah it doesn't work that way. They're telling you to grow up because you've probably already tried to make your own decisions or mistakes in the past and that didn't go so well for you, therefore they're tightening up on the leash. I guarantee you they're making the best choices for you no matter how harsh and smothering it seems, there's a lot out there that could mess you up for the rest of your life that you just don't need to actually experience... Your own decision making process is not being based off yourself. It's being based off the choices and decisions your friends are able to make behind their parents' backs. So you may feel a bit annoyed because you're being lead through life with some guidance instead of just being allowed to do whatever the fuck it is you want.

You'll come out better than all the rest of them. I promise.

Hope this had to do with a relationship between you and your parents. If it's a bf/gf relationship, then I say you just need to get out of that one. Plain and simple.

Sometimes parents really want the best for you, and they want you to grow up, but they don't want to trust you with that. They know what it's like to screw up their own situations, and they want to protect you from that. They really love you. My parents are the same way. Have patience with them--you'll get your freedom! It takes a long time to prove yourself to them--I've had to. I'm still not completely independent, but I'm getting there! Finally seeing an end in sight.
