If they really think we are grown up, then why don't they leave us to do what we want??

Alot of it has to do with spelling.

They do listen. Just because they dont agree or feel the need to place boundaries doesnt mean you are not being heard. Parents are teachers/protectors, they have lived life your age and beyond. They have made mistakes or are aware that drastic mistakes can be made, that will hurt you or put you in an unsafe place. Not all parents are without their own emotional problems too....so placing them on a pedestal is not wise unless they are stable.
Science has proven that teens brains are still developing the frontal lobe until the early to mid 20's. If the emotional brain is not fully developed, then stupidity and unthinking decisions can be made...often and the person wont know why they did it.
Your parents dont think you are all grown up BUT they want you to start acting as though you are...transition is important. They have looked after you your whole life....so letting go of that is a hard and slow process. Feel for them and think about how you would feel being a parent and having a teenager...maybe it will help you see life through their eyes and you will go easier on them?

Because if we were left to do whatever we wanted to then we'd be in a LOT of trouble. We'd be messing up and we'd never be able to learn from our mistakes because our parents wouldn't be able to warn us that what we're doing is wrong.
I used to think that my parents should leave me alone but then I realized how clueless I am about some things and the art of maturing into an adult is being taught right from wrong. The parents who don't care what their kids do aren't raising their kids right 'cause you can't expect a kid to grow up to be a good adult if they never were told, "Hey, what you're doing isn't the best desicion. Maybe you should rethink it." or something.
Parents care about us-believe it or not. Sure, they may embarrass us occasionally and we may feel let down by them but nonetheless they love us and aren't intending to make us frustrated. They just want us happy.

someday when u r a parent u will see how much u love your children and u will understand the need to always protect them. just wait until you r 18,22,24,30 you will look back on your life and go wow i was a dummy back then. we know your not finished growing because we were not grown at your age.

They have spent your entire life wanting the best for you and urging you to do what they think is right. It is something they will never quit doing no matter how many birthdays you have or how many correct decisions you make. They will just always do it.

some parents just can't let go of their children so easily, yes, we are grown up, but our parents may be worry about us. About how will we handle our life. Give them time to change.

although you're all grown up,some parents will still subconsciuosly see you as a kid
i guess its instict,a parent will always want what's best for their child as well as to protect them
the meddling & nagging could be their way of showing that they care cos they think they know best for you

WELL age has a great factor. AS YOU GET OLDER they do leave you alone. Then when you move out they don't bother you as much.
