So,I had a job up until 3 weeks ago,and they say my job has changed me so much(I did not get out much because I'm homeschooled,so I got a job),the only thing that has changed about me is that im not shy anymore and I have a friend.They won't let me get a new job now,or go see my friend(he's a guy so I guess thats why,but for Gods sack I'm 16 years old,he worked with me).I am a very trustworthy person,and the worst thing I have done was get drunk,but that was while they were home,and I was not with my friends.The next day I told them I had gotten drunk,so I think I am very good,and I do know it was wrong,they weren't even mad.But thats not why they don't trust me,I honestly don't know why.Now I have like no freedom(I don't have a license),and I am sick of it.What can I do?
If you have any questions to help,just ask me.

OMG. This is why good girls turn into whores. :/ I'm semi-joking. But your parents really need to lighten up. If you can't sit down and discuss this matter, write them a heart felt letter. It means alot to you, every teen wants independence, trust, and liberty. Getting drunk wasn't wise...but it's all a part of growing up and they are failing to realize, you cant be their baby forever!

It sounds like they love you very much and please dont doubt that they do love you! They want to protect you from all the bad things life has to throw at you. BUT they also need to know that you can handle the outside world! One day you will be going out into the world and you are totally unprepared cuz your not allowed in it now! Sit with them and tell them exactly how u feel! Try to reach an agreement on how long you can work- or if atleast you can meet your friend at the mall or to a movie once a week! Let them know u understand why they are the way they are- but let them know its ok to let you learn all about life too!

Have sat down and had a talk with them? Have you explained your feelings and reasoning with them? Parents are not mind readers and while they may be trying to protect you it is sometimes hard for parents to realize that you've grown up and are maturing. They see the physical side but sometimes its hard to see through the maturing side. You best bet is to talk with them and work up a set of guidelines that allows you definitive privileges in exchange for definitive responsibilities at home. This can be worked out but ONLY by communicating effectively and it will probably take more than one talking session. (nothing wrong with that)

you are there child that is why they are like that. You have no choice but to wait until you are 18 that way you are free to do whatever you want

they are probably really worried for you. try talking to them. explain how you feel. otherwise leave when you are 18 and continue with your life.
