Parents wouldn't let me travel alone.

I feel sorry for all of you people. Really, I do.

It's one thing having parents who worry but most of the parents mentioned here sound like psychopaths who crave control. Over-protective is an understatement.

I'd understand if you were 18 or under but nearly 21? Wow. People of this generation are missing out on life because they don't want to upset their parents. It's really sad.

I suppose it's neuroticism. Everyone's worried these days. It's understandable in a way that parents are worried about their kids.



Anyway I can relate, I'm pretty sure I'm always doing what my parents want. I definitely want to go travelling, I'm looking at stuff now. I'm just hoping I can muster the balls to actually go do it.

Do it. As harsh as it sounds, one day your parents wont be here and you'll regret always doing what they wanted or what you thought they wanted. You often don't get the chances later in life that you have when you're younger. Make the time count.
