Hi Aunt Latifa,
I am really frustrated. Se my friends always ask me to go to the movies with them or hangout, or even go to their houses. But i always have to make excuses because my parents don't let me go. I'm a straight A student ( a good person). We are Muslim of course and they say that i shouldn't do stuff like that. But sometimes i have to get out. Please help me.
Thank you.
T.

Dearest child,
I guess you are still a rather young person, although even not so young muslimahs suffer the same frustration as you do.
Please use your capacities to study in order to get out of your islamic ghetto one day, only a good degree and your own clever brain will help you out. You had the bad luck to be born a girl into a muslim family and to be gifted with brains...use them now to turn your bad luck into some opportunity to get out of there !
You should explain to your friends what your parents are doing to you, they will understand you and accept this if they are real friends. They might even come up with some fine ideas to help you out sometimes...
Can't you invite your friends at your home from time to time ? This way, they will see for themselves in what kind of situation you are.
I wish you good luck, a fine life and keep me posted, dear T>
