I went to the pictures with a friend and her brother in the morning but it was full so we had to wait until the next show began in 3 hours' time. I didn't call home to say so, 'cos my parents would want us to come home and wait until then, so I decided to keep quiet and hang around somewhere with my friends. A friend had a mobile and my parents could have called on that to know where I was, if they really missed me (but the battery was low) . But since there was no call, I didn't bother too much. In the evening when I returned home, Mum and Dad started screaming at me and my friends and that was so embarrasing! Apparently they had called the other parents and had stirred much trouble and anxiety. I was so mad at them, but kept quiet until my friends left. Then I yelled at my parents for the way they treated me before my friends and how they scolded the others. It was like a nightmare, I never expected things to get this bad. I don't think I'll ever get over this.
What should I do?

Well this is all your own fault...Heck you would have got worse from me not calling home...If you had call all would be well, but you lack responsiblity, i hope they grounded you....

You should be more responsible and let your parents know if you're going to be out that late. It is a matter of courtesy. They didn't know where you were and they were worried. Is it so wrong for a parent to worry about a child? When I was younger I had no curfew or limits but this was because I always let my parents know where I was or where I was going to be. If I left and told them I'd be home by 1am then I'd be home by 1am or I'd call if I was going to be later. That way they didn't worry.
Instead of caring about your parents feelings you decided to be selfish because you were worried they'd make you hang out at home until the next movie. Did you ever stop to consider that if you had called and let them know what was going on that they'd see that as a sign of responsibility and possibly give you a bit more freedom in the future?

It is alright, this will all blow over believe me, your parents were just worried in this day and age, it is a worry when young people go out, they just want you to be safe. I know it is embarrassing in front of your friends, but it could have been one of your others friends and they would be sitting wondering now what you are thinking, u know some parents do not care about their kids, so you are lucky in that sense, try to sit back and see it from your parents point of view, some day this will be you when you get married and have kids!

" I didn't call home to say so, 'cos my parents would want us to come home and wait until then, so I decided to keep quiet and hang around somewhere with my friends."
You KNEW you should have called them.
You should apologize to your parents for being inconsiderate and needlessly worrying them. Next time, call home if you're going to be over 3 hours late!

Definitely should've called and let them know "hey, I'm here, the picture doesn't start for another 3 hours..." just keep them in the loop. I don't know how old you are but I was there not too long ago...your parents just want to know that you are safe...yes they reacted in a way that they shouldn't have but...they are PARENTS. Give them a break;)

Ouch!
Parents, being parents... believe it or not... do care about their children. And at times, they happen to want to show that they care. This is when they tend to overract.
And they absolutely hate it when u yell at them... this will really bring you nowhere... trust me.
What you should do.. is tell them how they embarassed you in front of ur friends. And that next time they should call instead of creating all the drama.
But trust me... ur parents love u more that u can imagine!

Never heard of the old adage "save a home,use a phone" did you? Face it , you gambled and lost and are facing the consequences. Though it is not cool that your parents yelled at you in front of your friends.

sounds like you and your parents have serious problems communicating, yelling at anyone is always a bad idea. sit down with your parents and ask them to trust you more and be someone that they can trust. life is to short for ugly!

You should apologize to your parents for yelling at them and then apologize to them for getting home late because it was YOUR responsibility to call THEM, not their's to call YOU.

Generation gap. You are lucky to have such concerned parents. Talk to them more and more freely. Do not hide any facts from them out of fear , be brutally frank with them and all your problems are solved.
