I
am an 18-year-old boy and my problem is that my parents are
interfering in my life. They keep telling me who I can have
as my friends and warning me all the time about not having
sex before marriage. They are so busy telling me what I can
and cannot do that I don't feel like I can ask them any questions
or share my problems with them. My uncle lives very far away
so I don't have anyone I can talk to. What can I do?
