So I have very religious. overprotective, strict parents. I’m currently a senior in high school and am planning on going to a college in NYC which is about an hour away from where I live. My parents plan on picking me up every Friday so I could stay with them during the weekends and drop me off on Sundays.
My whole life I’ve felt trapped and suffocated being with them. They never let me go out anywhere and I can’t talk to them heart to heart because they’ll yell at me and punish me. They’ve never let me go out with a friend and whenever I tell them I have to stay after school they get suspicious. They ask me for proof that I’m actually staying at school even though they have my fucking location. They want me to take pictures of where and who I’m going to be staying with.
They’ve told me that when I’m in college I’ll only be in my dorm and on campus. NO going out to other places unless it’s a simple store where I need to go buy necessities.
I literally hate them. They don’t even go out to places so I could go. The only place I feel free is at school and I though that when I was in college things would change. I literally feel like crying BCS I feel so trapped. I want to enjoy college and go out with friends to fun places like movie theaters, broadway shows, the mall, carnivals, arcades, or even stores like 7-eleven or target. They don’t even fucking let me roam around alone when we do go to a store in case I get kidnapped like be fucking forreal I’m going to turn 18 in fucking may. Ever since I was little I dreamed of having fun with friends and when I got to highschool I thought I would but no. So yeah…
I feel like I have no common sense, and my social skills are below what they should be because the only places I’m at are their house and school. I don’t talk to my cousins or other family. I only have two close friends, and sometimes, they don’t even read my texts, so I feel like I have no one I can truly talk to right now.
What do you guys think I should? Should I talk to them now or wait until I’m actually in college to tell them I’m not going to their house every weekend?
I think I’m gonna tell them when I’m in college BCS I don’t want to get hit now lol

Nope you’re totally right that’s really scary. My approach would be to not share my location and go NC
