maybe there is an underlying factor that you don't make known...maybe he has a reason for it all...
then, again, maybe he wants you all to himself...show more responsibility and don't become angry with him over these things and he may just allow you more freedom

If you are old enough to manage on your own, you should be able to either get yourself some transportation either a car or scooter or bike or take public transportation, instead of relying on your dad to take you and pick you up. Once you can show him that you can do these things on your own and get back and forth on your own he will see that you are old enough and responsible enough to manage on your own. You simply can't tell him, you have to show him.

Sit down with your Dad and tell him how this is affecting your social life, and your friends, and that you need him to care enough to be punctual. Tell him that you need to be able to do things with your friends, and be on time, and that if he can't arrange to get you there on time, then he needs to help you come up with another idea for doing so ... then problem solve together. Hopefully he is receptive to talking to you about this.
If you can't get anywhere, talk to a school counselor, a friends parent, or another adult you can trust and ask them for their help in talking to your Dad.

If your old enough to manage your own, then your old enough to move out from his house and you won't have this problem.

How old are you?
Talk to your Dad. Let him know how you feel. If you talk to him, I think it might clear things up alittle. Good luck.

Talk to him about your feelings. You can't change anyone unless they want to be changed.

It would help to know how old you are.
