First off, get off of the kick that people should be treated "by age".
That's nonsense in itself.
Second, LOOK at what it is that you ARE doing and see, for yourself if it IS stupid / irresponisble. Regardless of what anyone else is saying. You need to come up in your own personal evaluation of your actions.
Then, just try to understand what they are TRYING to ACCOMPLISH. What are their intentions? Not actions, yet; just intentions. I'm pretty sure, their intentions are good.
Calmly, let your parents know what it appears that their INTENTIONS are. Don't bother with their actions.
Maybe it's, "Mom, Dad it appears that you are trying to keep me from screwing up my life." OR "Mom, Dad it appears to me that you are intending to punish me for something that I have not yet done."
Then, just let them know YOUR intentions.
"Mom, Dad I am trying to find a date." OR "I am just trying to not be an outcast."

Be tolerant of it. Think of it as proof they care and it's sweet. Some kids that are still at home think every parental stop on their activities is bone crushing destruction of their social l lives. Get your priorities straight get over it. Enjoy that someone is looking out for you and still sees you as their little girl/boy. Not only will your attitude change help you to be happier your parents will notice some maturity in it and get some stress relief. In other words develop a sense of humor and appreciate that they care. Luxuriate in that caring when it's gone you're going to miss it.

parents are neither always fair or right i know I am a parent, I have six children, try talking to your parents or to an adult if they are impossible they are trying to protect you nowadays there are just way too many freaks out there, so give them some time they will get used to the fact that you are growing up.

You should tell them how you feel and ask them to treat you differently. If that doesn't work ask someone important to you for help.

ask them y they treat you like your still a kid. dont say it rudely or fight woith them just camly ask them and explain that you are going to grow up and that if ur going to learn responsiblity you need to be given some. ask to do things that they wouldnt normaly let you do and slowly gain their trust... in a short time they will learn that you are mature and that they can trust you.
