My parents won't let me avoid their friends?
PLEASE ANSWER!!!!!!! I'm 19 and I live in Australia. I love my parents but I hate their friends because they make my parents force me to play the violin for them which I hate so much. Whenever they throw a party I have to come even I don't want to. Whenever they come over I have to even I don't want to or my parents will take away my fidget spinner and hide it so I can't find it. I bought the fidget spinner with my own money. When I told my parents that I want to avoid their friends they always say no because it's rude, they're nice and they bring me gifts (I hate the gifts). How can I convince them to permanently avoid them before I go crazy because I don't want to see them ever again. Please don't say 'enjoy the gifts and keep your mouth closed' because like I said in the brackets. I hate those gifts but I can't tell you what they are.

How exactly do they *force* you to play the violin? Maybe they think you play it really well. Have you tried telling your parents that you hate the violin? I don't think they can make you go to the parties if you're sick. This might sound like something you'd see on TV but maybe try to fake sick. As for the lousy gifts you receive, maybe you can calmly list to them in a conversation if you have one with them what you like so maybe they'd get you nicer things. Do you have any other friends your age? Because if you do, I'd try to make plans with them for the same day that your family is scheduled to see your parents' friends (way before, of course). If you have a part-time job, maybe you might be allowed to attend your shift and not go to those socials. I live in the US.

You are an adult, and so are your parents. Their friends are not "forcing" them to do anything. Your parents are not "forcing" you to play the violin. Your parents' friends sound like nice people who care about you and give you gifts. So maybe you should actually stop whingeing or get a job and move out.

I'm confused. Are you 19? Or are you 9?
If you're 19 then you should be on your way to living your own life. Time to grow up.
