You need to let us know how old you are first
I'm assuming that you are under 17? If so, you are just going to have to prove to them that you are very trustworthy. That's the only thing that will make them ease up a bit. Come in early a few times, call when your going to be some where else crap like that clean your room don't bit*h just be so good you can't stand yourself!!!

Is the way you want to live your life a smart way to live? Will it provide for you in the future or is just fun and games? You parents are strict with you because they love you and want you to have a good future. Maybe if you demonstrate to them that they can trust you to make good decisions, they will let you make more decisions in your life. If you are always making bad decisions in the areas they do let you control, your parents will never give you any freedom. Being a mature adult isn't easy. I would learn all you can as to why your parents make the rules they do. Probably most of the reasons are very smart. Like they make you go to bed at a certain time so you are well rested and don't get sick. Or they don't let you go to certain parties because they don't want you to get involved with drinking or drugs or whatever. Try to think about it from their perspective. My parents were strict too. But after awhile they realized that I wasn't going to do anything stupid because I believed in the same things that they did and they loosened up.

The answer to this totally depends on your age. If you are 13 and your parents are strict and controlling then you will have to sit down with them and ask them to help you find some compromises.
If you are 18 and your parents are strict and controlling and you live at home then I'm afraid it's too late....you should have done something about this years ago (sitting down with them and asking them to help you find compromises) Obviously you are old enought to move out and be on your own but can you afford to do this and give up all "the comforts of home?" Are you dependent upon your parents for college tuition, car payments, food, health insurance, dental coverage, electricity, laundry, etc., etc.? Best idea would be to get your act together with a steady job and then save up enough money to get your own place and live your life the way you want to.

run away from home and join a gang they will protitute you out for the first couple of months until you earn your respect . if that is to hard for you try living on the streets stealing from stores or if you are that ambitous get a job move into your own place and pay your own damn bills that way you can be your own boss no one can say sh.it to you . you get to not make your bed or make it when you feel like . you dont have to pay lite or cable or phone bills and if they turn of no worries just live in the dark and get water from the fire hydrant . so do your parents the favour now before they pump any more money into your ungratefull a.ss move out and join a circus they will bill you as the world most ungratefull child . kids that are living on the streets are begging for there parents to come and control there little miserable existance now, but they are to far gone , so move out today and please dont take anything with you because you did not purchase it . thats my advice to you , you lousy excuse for a child.

Im going to assume that you are under 18. Thank the big G that you don't have parents that don't give a flying leap if you were in the gutter someplace, on who-knows what street, addicted to crack or being used as man bait. You will become 18. It will get here faster than you think. And, when you get into college...welcome to the realities of adulthood! You will possibly be very thankful, when you are out and on your own, that your parents did their job.
If you are an adult-get a job or go to college; move out.
Hang in there.
Wishing you well.

If you have good parents they will never let go completely. That's why they're good parents. Your question alone suggests you are entirely too young to be "left alone to live your life your way." Chances are, you're chasing something false anyway, so hooray for your parents. You should thank them for protecting your youngness and start paying attention to what it really is they are strict and controlling about.

You will thank your parents later in life for being so strict. Listen to them as best as you can and then learn to compromise. You may not always get what you want but nobody does.

Write a song about it. Seriously. Or find some other creative outlet for whenever your parents piss you off.
Frustration is a great motivator.
Fight your parents with logic. It cannot be denied. Tell them "you're not even making sense" enough, and they will begin to respect your intelligence.

You never stated your age! When you are under your parents roof you are obligated to follow their rules!
From one year of age and up, children want to do what they want. This is an old story!
Your parents are there to guide you correctly, and you want none of it! But, when you get your butt in trouble, you want them to take care of it. In other words you want your cake and eat it to. I'm sorry real life is not like that and you will find that out! Love your parents and allow them to love you with joy and happiness!
