I'm a great kid...I'm an A honor roll student. I don't drink, smoke, do drugs, sneak around (well I do to hang out with my friends but only because they won't let me do anything), I don't have sex with random people or anyone for that matter...I don't yell at them. I do what I am told useless I forget but as soon as I remember, I go do it...Why must they treat me badly?... How could I get them to lighten up a little?

Ask them if they feel you use good judgment. When they say "yes" ask them why you aren't allowed to make more decisions. Then tell them you would like to make more decisions while you live with them so you can get their valuable feed back. If they don't respond to this logic, request family counseling.

What are they not letting you do. As you get older you will realize it is for your own good. I know you don't want to hear that now, but they must be doing something right to have you turn out so well. It may seem like you can't do anything because your friends parents aren't as strict. The most you can do is talk to them and try to work something out where you get certain privileges for doing good at something.

I wish my kids were like you when they were growing up, you tell them, I would of loved to trade my son for you any day. Just show them what you have submitted for answer's in this Yahoo page, they may lighten up on you.

thats not treating you badly, that is called parenting and you will not understand it until you become a parent. trust me. they are hard on you to keep you doing good and to keep you on the right track. dont let it get to you as much as it does. they love you and just want the best for you...and also pretty much getting you ready for the world....because the world is going to treat you so much worse.

Let them know that Dr. Phil says trust is earned and you've earned more trust than they exhibit toward you. You might also say that it is important that young people gradually expand their sphere of decision-making authority, subject to scrutiny and checking. Wish you were my kid.

We are tough on you because we don't want you to have to experience some of the mistakes we had to go through....also...we nag because when you ARE out there with friends(even when you sneak out)...you can hear our voice in your head guiding you to make the right choices........my sons are great kids....but I have to give tough love at times....believe me...it is not fun seeing my sons upset at me because I had to put down my foot....

i feel for you , you seem to be a good kid, i am not asking to disobey your parents. just try to set with them and ask them if they can cut you a slack, and ask why you they are like that, i have a feeling they are going to say we are older we know what best for you, well if you are old enough to be on your Owen do it , and if not, hold and swallow your pride and wait until then

move out of thier house.
if you are under 18, study hard and get into a good college far away so that you have to move out. they have controll issues over seeing thier kid grow up.
