Charlotte Andrews, 22, moved home after graduating from the University of Chichester, with a degree in studies of the media last year. She waitresses for four months before finding work experience in a public relations agency in London. “I did not want to stay in Chichester and I knew I wanted to work in London, so it was cheaper to live and travel with my parents because I could not afford to go out on my own,” he said.

She now has a job to earn £ 17,500 a year as assistant public relations account, but lives at home in Epsom, Surrey, and pays £ 200 a month in rent to his mother and father who are responsible for all meals , washing and ironing. “I pay for my car and my phone. Once the rent and bills have come and have a social life that there is not much. This year I found my feet, but next year I will start putting money each month and, finally, I want to go out and get my own place. ”

Charlotte thinks it will be able to leave in 2011. “That gives me a couple of years to save.”

She has a good relationship with their parents, but it was difficult to adjust at first, after college. “Sometimes I am sure that bother them, but that’s like any other child”.

According to a survey by Girlguiding UK and backed by the Suzy Lamplugh Trust, Girls believe they have lost the freedom to do things on their own because parents being over-protective. In a survey of 1,000 girls aged between 10 and 18, almost half say they face too many restrictions.

The research also shows that, by concentrating on rare issues like stranger attack, worried parents may be ignoring real threats, such as online contacts or using a mobile phone while out at night.

The research indicated that fears over letting girls go out at night led to them spending more time on the internet at home. Almost half of the girls said they had seen things online which upset or frightened them. More than one in four had been bullied on the internet and a fifth had considered meeting someone they met online in real life, although a similar number said they had found people who were not who they said they were.

Almost all girls (95 per cent) believed carrying a mobile phone makes them safer, unaware of the risks of displaying valuables. Nearly 80 per cent of girls aged 16 to 18 listen to an iPod while walking alone at night. Girls think they face more restrictions than boys, who are more likely to be involved in violence or a fight.
