I have a problem and I need your help. My parents never let me do anything! For example, when I go out with my friends, my mom always asks, “Where are you going? Who are you going with?” Two months ago, I got an earring(耳饰)and my father was really angry. He made me take it out. My parents want to control everything I do. But I'm 18 years old!
