Just be thankful your parent's care about you that much. I think children who don't have parents involved in their lives are sad. It's like the parents don't care enough to know whats going on. If someone said something about my parents being boring or controlling I just said it was because they loved me, and their parents must not care too much if they don't bother knowing where/what they are doing.

It's common to feel like your parents don't know s**t about what's going on in the real world. As irritating as it may be that your mom phone's your friend's mom to make sure your friend is going, she's doing it just to ensure that you are doing what you say you're going to be doing. Watch the news, listen to the stories about kids meeting people on the internet and having horrible things happen to them. They love you and I know you know that.
I never understood, even in my twenties, why my dad was so uptight about what I did in my life until I had my daughter. Then I got it. It's like, you want no harm, no wrong ever entering your child's life. If something were to happen to them, you feel like you would just die. We live in a sick society and it's an everyday worry what could go wrong with our kids.
Try to keep that in the back of your mind the next time your mom does that or they get a little harsh with you about going out. They do it simply because they love and care for you and want you to be safe.

I guess that I still don't know how old you are for sure, but trust me when you have kids you will care enough about them also to watch out for their well being. It may look like they are being a pain in the as# right now, but they just care about you im sure! Good Luck.

It's just what happens when you're the oldest child. Trust me, it will be even more irritating when you move out and the younger kids do things that you did, and when you did it you'd get grounded for weeks, and when they do it they get off completely.
Just have to deal with it.

it can be frustrating, but your mom wants you to be safe. I was eighteen and graduated and I still had a curfew. Sad huh?? But I never got into drugs or drinking and I thank her now for it. Had some pretty good fights when I was 15 though. Give your mom a kiss and say thanks, but relax a little bit.

Watch the news...too many kids get into trouble and get hurt/die because of their bad choices. Your mom loves you and is trying to steer you in the right direction. I know you don't want to hear this but you will appreciate it one day.

be appreciative that your parents actually care about you and your well being. Extra props for taking care of their friend's kids too. It takes a village to raise a child you know.

be thankful...would you rather they let you go off with strangers and get raped..and cannot find you..?? don't you get those postcards in the mail each week that ask have you seen me??
or read the side of the milk carton?? it isn't that they don't trust you..it is they don't trust people they don't know..it is their job to protect you so that YOU don't end up on the side of the milk carton...think about it..
