OMG i Totally get you! my parents are Indian, so i have the same over protected thing going on.

I'm 19 now and I've been dealing with this for ages you and yea you can't just be like, omg, you did this to me because they will never accept that! like never!
its always an 'excuse' or whatever,
and its so annoying when people ( as in my aunty) say or this will change in time because when I was younger it was like oh wait till you turn 16, then 18 and now 21.

I get you with indian/asian parents there is no "let's talk about this" because you will always be wrong

but let me tell you, that YOU have to fight for YOUR freedom rather then just wait because otherwise nothing is going to change and you will have regrets in your life.

that said, the best year of your life are still to come so be positive! and be happy by keeping a smile on my face,

when i have a good day and my rents wana ruin it when I get home, I simply say " I have had a good day , and I'm not going to let you ruin it"
and when they yell and scream , I just repeat my self and eventually they let it go.
because at the end of the day, lets face it, they are not going to change, until you get older much much older like married and kids type. so whenever you have a fight, and you feel depressed say this your self....

'" there is no point in worrying about something you can not change"

If you are worried about respect, remember you can't truly respect someone when you don't like them, harsh i know but in my case its true. because depression will effect you a lot. with me it had impacted on the relationships around me, I'm not very open and keep things to myself because you never "TALK about things in our cultures you just get drunk with the words "I'm going to get my *** kicked" and hold it down with the word respect.

man i just wrote a lot, but its only cause i really really really get you!
hope I helped even a little. xo
