If you are under 18, than you are not legally capable of making decisions for yourself.

No one has the right to "control" your life. But if your under 18 and your family is still legally and financially responsible for you, they do have a right to have a say in what you do and don't do.
I'm only 25 and in my teen years I found that my friends that got all haughty and told their parents that they don't 'control' them, had a much harder time than the ones that respected everything their families have done for them. Of course there are disfunctional families that are barely families. But often, if you're parents have provided a good life for you, show them that you appreciate that and will respect their rules and you'll often find that they see you as mature and the rules will be much less strict.

Depends on who you ask.
Ask them, they'll give a definite Hells Yes.
Ask you (or anyone else unrelated), a definite no.
Just because someone is related to you by blood doesn't automatically mean they're family. Often times, a person's true family never grew up under the same roof and hold no biological ties.
Course, try telling overbearing parents that.

No. You're your own person, and unless you're still under the age of 18, your family has no right, legal or otherwise, to control what you do.

No one has the "right" to control your life, but until you are 18 your parents pretty much have all-inclusive permission.

They might be legally capable, but were all perfectaly capable to make our own decisions, they dont have that right and we shouldnt let them think that they do, were our own person, we need to make the decisions that are best for us not for them.

hi. how old r u honey? message me ur age! :)
I believe very strongly that no-one, not even your best friend has the right to control you. Written in law or no. Universal law states (in my theory): to thy self be true. if you can be and do that, others have to follow, if they don't want to, then you know the answer, they are not that. :)
you gotta be careful with this, really careful. not all people can let go of others/you so easily. you need to find ways to disconnect lovingly...without the intention (at least) to hurt anyone.
Some people need a wake up call. a good lot of people. like 6 billion people, been woken up by a billionth of a percent. that's like one in every billion that actually has the guts, courage, deep love (naturally from their soul!) to actually say stuff like, "I love you, and for that reason I need to tell you that your need to control me and everyone and thing around you/me makes me very uncomfortable and actually to be quite frank with you, makes me mad (say it calmly - it works better! :)) You need to realise that because I love you, I will stay and help you, but I need to do some things for myself first sometimes and you have to be able to handle that. I'm not trying to hurt you, I'm trying to live my life, for me, from me, and then to you. It may sound hurtful and selfish, but you've got to believe it and me. I may be young, but I have a very strong sense that this is what's bugging me. I'll meet you half way. All I'm asking is that you do something to treat yourself today. Somethat that involves no one else but you, affects no one else but you, and focuses on no one but you. Because I care, I would like to see you happy and having fun, because IT'S YOU!!!! Just be you, that's ALL you have to do. Let us all be ourselves, and the rest will take care of itself. How do I know, cos I've just said this stuff cos this feeling is so strong!!!! I love you anyway, that's why you have people in your life that are special and that are called family!"
You may have to water it down, or say it in pieces, and REMEMBER, it's between you and her (mom/aunt/female?) Sorry. Got that intuitively! :) Am I right?!? :)
Deal one on one with family members on this one. Start with the one that will listen when you say, we're family, here to meet, greet and be ourselves! Right?!? :) See how they react. The person that talks to you next (may be your mom) could be a good place to start. Oh, and if it's an uninvolved male, say to them, you know, this stuff really peeves me off! Depending on the male! of course! sus it out and trust your first impression/gut feeling. be aware of it, and waiting for it once you've strutted/thought about strutting your stuff! :)
Plan it on paper, burn it, let it go (like LET IT GO!) and see what happens, like how it goes. :)
Feeback...please! :)
Good luck.

Only if you are still a child. If you are an adult, the answer is NO>
Live your own life.

If you're under eighteen, or if you're living in their house, I think they do. If you don't like it get out and do it on your own. Once you're out on your own, you tell yourself what to do.

Not if you have moved out of your parents' house and are supporting yourself.
