hi there
i think i'm going to treat u like my daughter
she lives in the U.K as well with her mum and her brother.. but she still a baby about 6 years old and she's a very lovely daughter
anyway if u wanna know about arab people and how they live / think / and see everything around then you should how understand them and to respect what they think about and how they live
i'm an arabic / muslim father..and i know how to teach my daughter if she was living here with me in my country Jordan but she still in the U.K and she'll be there maybe forever or whenever
anyway.. in my country there's nothing called the (the girl could do whatever she want.. no!! but she should listen to her parents and her family.. the big family i mean.. otherwise she a naughty girl ( w mesh metrabyeh

you are 18 years old and you can do whatever u want because u live in the U.K like any other girl.. but because u live with Arabic / Muslim family , so you have to fallow theire way.. yes that's true.. whatever you complain you can't change our thoughts or culture our religion
and because you don't know how to live because u r not english or not arabic .. realy i don't know which one u are.. so you don't know what to do.. to acat like any other english girl or to act like any other arabic girl.. it's realy difficult.. and i know u feel very confuse.. u can't go to the pob or u can't have a Boyfriend or to drink or to go out or to dance and blah blah.. with the arabic family.. you need to reed about the arab culture /history/ religion/ ways..and so on...when u understand that u can make ur mind what do u want to be??? an english or an arabic girl.. til that time u'll never feel comfort .. because they'll keep naging and naging always and they'll tell what to do and how to do
i realy wish you the best luck with ur family and ur parents.. i mean ur DAD
goodluk
