i'm a 14 year old boy and i'm a freshman in high school. my parents are really getting me mad. i know that they mean well and everything, but they don't understand that at my age, they can't control everything i do. they'll tell me to go to bed at like 9:00 and if i don't come upstairs then they'll take out the cable. most kids my age go to bed at 10:30-12:00 (i don't go to bed at 9:00 but that's when my parents ask me to go to bed). they think that they can control what i watch on tv also (it's not that i watch anything inappropriate). they say that i watch too much professional sports because i watch baseball, football, and basketball. my argument is that i have gotten good grades, and if i can get my work done by 7:00, i should be able to watch games that start at 7:30. i do watch a lot of sports, but it's a hobby of mine, and i think it's my choice if i want to watch it or not. i watch a lot of sports, but when i do, they always yell at me for watching too much.
