I am nearly 16 years old, and I am a female. I do not want a car for many different reasons. I desire a job as a kitchen cleaner in a nursing home 3.47 miles from my house temporarily. There is a bus that stops a half of a mile from the place. I could also easily ride a bike if I had one. My father refuses to allow me to use the transit. He doesn't want me riding a bike either, claiming it is dangerous to ride on the street with cars. He becomes angry with my "strange ideas." He becomes very 'stressed,' as he says, when he asks me about my "goal in making a way for myself." I tell him I want to do hard labor. He has racist elements when I do tell him that. He seems to discriminate against women, calling stone masonry, etc., a man's job. He is upset that I don't want to go to college and get a high-paying job, get married, and have children. How can I get him to finally accept my decisions and allow me to follow my plans? I am sad. No one seems to offer support or love.
honey, u r sixteen so on a rough estimate ur dad must be in his early forties, he has far more experience of life than u have... did u even once stop a think bout it that maybe he's not discriminate against women but he doesn't want to loose his daughter. talk it out with him peacefully... make him understand you point of view..
gud luck |
