Due to your age take a little advice. Calm down!
Your parents were your age too at one time. we didn't have computers at 15. Hell, video games and MTV along with cable TV was just coming out. Cell phones?? I-pod?? DVD?? unheard of at the time.
Cut your parents some slack - show them what you're are doing, what THEY can do. Little do you realize that the world has changed so fast within the past 20 years then it has in the prior 50 years before then.
Talk with your parents - Ask them what it was like when they were 15, what did they do? after doing that, if you really want to rattle your brains....... ask your grandparents the same question.

There is so much weird crap going on, on the Internet that they are probably scared that you may get tricked because they think you don't know what you are doing. The best thing to do is set them both down and show them what you do. Show them the sites that you are interested in and what you are researching, they my not understand the Internet and it maybe up to you to educated them on what you are really doing, if you are not doing inappropriate things you should be comfortable doing this. There are a lot of weirdos out there and they may feel a need to protect you, they love and care about you, so do think they are being mean or over intrusive, educate and then they will understand.

Maybe if you didn't spend so much time on the computer they wouldn't be suspicious of what you are doing. And at 15 you very well may be looking at porn and you may be susceptible still to online predators. Your parents only love you and that love is shown by how they are being protective of you. You will grow up to be more of an adult then these kids that aren't watched at all, trust me. I was brought up in a protective household also and I see how the spoiled ones are still living at home in their 30's with no aspirations to move, ever.

i had similar problems when i was 15 now i am 24 and i litteraly just got back from a counseling class for drug abuse... seriously i didn't start using until i was 19 but my parents harped on me like yours are now since i was 13 a lot of the reason that i got into the crazy **** that i have been in is because i didn't listen to what my parents said... i always thought that they were just being hard on me and "trippin" over nothing... a few years ago i realized that they were just being parents trying to help me make good decisions that would lead me to happiness. they did this and still do because they love me and they want me to be happy. sometimes it can be a drag... but you got to look at it from their perspective... which is harder than it sounds as i assume that you are like me and don't have children of your own... they mean well but they just come off wrong because they worry that you don't listen... if i were you i would try being civil with them and open.. remember to relax and let them into your thoughts and you will find that their knowledge can lead you miles... a friend of mine puts it this way: "When i was 19 my dad didn't know ANYTHING! Now i am 21 and my dad is the smartest man alive..." your parents role in your life will never change... their control will naturally lessen as you get older they know this and they stress about it bro... you know ... they still worry that you are going to get punked by a stranger or get into some random **** that happens on the day to day... so they get frustrated because they know less and less about your actions and they hear things in the news happening to kids your age all the time... the stakes are higher now for you and so they worry about bigger things while at the same time they know less about what goes on in your life while they aren't there...
just be careful dude because i had the same attitude when i was your age about my parents "always getting in my buisness" and honestly bro that attitude made me want to rebel and before i knew it i was doing stupid **** that didn't even make sense to me.. just go with it... come on man... just be nice to them and show them that you can be responsible and they will learn to get off your back a lot... word late

Somehow the predators still manage to find their prey.. even with parental alertness.... in case you are not aware, teenagers are known to be sneaky and will do what ever they think they can get away with.. Be happy in the knowledge; your parents care enough about you to attempt to guard you from impending dangers. The fact they are so studious in their awareness suggests you have been known to try to pull something over them. Enough to allow them to have created some doubts as to your veracity.

You know what your doing,there trying to protect you from perverts that are out here.Consider yourself lucky you have parents who care about you even at 15. Also try watching dateline on NBC, perverts prey on boys just as much as they do girls.

The trouble with the parents is they don't realise the world's moved on.
My father's forever quoting "the older you get,the wiser you get".When he says that,I just point out that he can't even use a mobile phone....!
