I'm 16, and I feel like my parents are overly strict, although I could be wrong. I'm a good kid - I've never drank, smoked, or done drugs, or done anything really sexual. I get good grades and am very involved in extra-curricular activities. BUT I am not allowed to go to people's houses unless their parents are home. Not just for parties, but even to just watch a movie or chill out. I'm not allowed to be in any situation where there is even a remote possibillity of drugs or alcohol being there. I've been told it's inappropriate for teens my age to go on one-on-one dates. I'm not allowed to stay out past sunset, unless I can get a ride home, and my parents are willing to do it. I'm not allowed to drive until I'm 18 (Although I'm very distractable so that might be realistic).
Is this normal for the parents of a 16-year-old? Or do my parents need to loosen up? If so, how can I get them to do that?
