Parents are so overprotective/controlling of our lives.

Age should not be a factor in getting her to understand for her to leave you alone.

Be a bother towards her, let her know you want her to stop being a nuisance. If you get a few hits from her, it's not like she's going to beat you senseless.

Honestly, I hate to say this, but if you aren't complaining about your parents' restrictions on you, your parents aren't doing their job. If they don't ever tell you to do something you don't want to do, then they're not telling you the right thing.

My parents restricted my gaming and computer time as a kid highly, and now that I'm an adult I'd consider that to be the absolutely correct answer.

Well said, though I can't say I have much to complain about, and I think my parents are doing a great job. My parents limited my computer time to between 6:00 PM and 8:30 for the school nights (yes, "limited"), and I'm still not using that time much; I know that if I do, I'll be screwed when it comes to school. Again.

But I have to agree with what others said. Parental restrictions only piss off kids when those ones are illogical. When it comes to parenting, not much irritates me more than a kid getting grounded for something he wasn't responsible for.

The thing is, most often, there is a perfectly logical reason for it. It's just not logical to the child, who wants something. For instance, my siblings constantly complain that my mother won't let them go watch R rated movies, and in the case of the younger ones, PG-13. I mean, all their friends can go watch Slasher Blood Orgy, why can't they? The reasoning should be obvious to anyone looking at it above they age of 18, but when you're the kid being told you can't do something, it feels unreasonable.

Very few parents are arbitrarily setting rules for no reason other than to annoy their kids. There is a REASON, whether the kids want to see it or not.
