Explain to them that you are of whatever age and that you would like to make your own decisions.

Talk to them, they have to realise you're not their ''puppet'', and if talking doesn't work, prove to them you're capable of making your own decisions.

Take a stand for you. Do what makes you happy, not others. Gain ground and become independent. Show them you don't need them to be the person you are.

Do not be afraid to talk to them. They might not realize that they are imposing on your life. Sit them down and explain to them that it is your life, and they need to trust you with whatever decision you decide to make.

My family has always been controlling since I can remember and,in my personal experience, if you want them to back off a little, you need to sit down with them and talk it out. Getting angry doesn't help, as they will think you childish and not able to be responsible for yourself, which will in turn worsen the nagging. Writing down what you want to say to them can be very helpful to keep your thoughts organised and, in turn, have a better chance of convincing them.

You could sit them down and tell them how you feel about it. You can tell them that you want to be in charge of you.

Oh, this is a really tough situation, but I think you might be able to handle it! Have you tried speaking to your family and giving your input on these decisions? Sometimes the best thing you can do is sit down and have open communication. Unless you speak up, they will never know.
