when I was 15 and under the same circumstance, I was angry and I rebelled and I ran away from home, I quit school and moved to a different city, living with a good friend of mine.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS
it ruined my life. Not only were my parents right about the people I had begun to hang around with (one girl got pregnant at 16 yrs old and again at 18 so obviously not a good example) but I wish I had just listened to my mom and respected that she knew what she was talking about and only wanted to keep me out of trouble.
Im 22 now (not an old person) but so much wiser and I also have a daughter of my own and want the best for her. If she was 15 and I saw her getting into the wrong crowd, I would want to protect her too.
You dont have to like the ppl your parents choose for you, but if you show them that you can choose positive influences on your own, they might lighten up. Take a look at your current circle of friends and ask yourself where they are going in life. Then if you choose to take a step back from them, inform your parents that you have made this decision on your own and that you understand why they were so concerned. Explain to them calmly and maturely that you feel like you have the ability to choose your own friends, and will make sure to surround yourself with people who are going to influence you to do the right things.
Good luck with the parents, i know its hard being a teenager but in just a few years you will be looking back on the teen years and you wanna know that you set yourself up to do well in your future. Its the foundation for your life and small mistakes can cost you big time.

Be tolerant, be thankful you have parents that give a dam.They love you so-o-o much, and yeah picking your friends is not what you want...you could humor them...parents sometimes see in people who they think will be good friends for you...just know that that's what parents who care about their kids do...you may have to keep reminding them that yeah you may not make the best and most perfect choices for friends, but let you find that out for yourself...have to have learning experiences...tell your parents you love them too and give them a reassuring hug (out of the blue) frequently. Always keep in touch.

REALIZE THEY HAVE YOUR BEST INTEREST AT HEART...
IF YOU WANT THEM TO LIKE YOUR FRIENDS HAVE THEM SPEND TIME TOGETHER// EVEN U MAY NOT LIKE THEM IF U SPEND A LOT OF TIME TOGETHER...IAM SURE U KNOW WHAT THEIR REACTION WILL BE IF THEY R RUDE , DRUG,BOOZE.SELF DESTRUCTIVE. CHOOSE WISELY THEY WILL HAVE A BIG EFFECT ON YOUR OWN BEHAVIOR..AND INFLUENCE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE... HE/SHE IS ONLY A POSSIBLE FRIEND TODAY .. HOPEFULLY YOUR PARENTS WELL BE INVOLVED THE REST OF THEIR LIFE.. LOOK AROUND.. GOOD FRIENDS WANT THE SAME THING FOR YOU YOUR PARENTS DO ..THAT YOU BECOME THE BEST PERSON THAT YOU CAN BE

Well,they have tried but I fight for what I want and will continue too.My friends are great,they just don't like them because they are mostly guys.I think that they are scared of me growing up,but they are going to have to get over that since I'll be 17 in a few months.

I would send them to ....., at 15 u r supposed to know which person is convenient 4 u and if u don't then they should let u experience why, that's how u r going to learn how u r going to survive in this wild world.

They are doing this because they love you! They, too, may feel that some of your friends have a bad influence on you. Just sit down with them and tell them how this makes you feel.

realize it is not lack of trust in you or your decision ablility but overall concern about your influences
but thankful they are interested in your life, when so many children have little to no interaction with parents
this too will pass - listen to the insights they can share - develop from their experiences and your own

they actually care about you but i think you should tell them how you feel if you don't like the people your parents chose for you

my parents tried to do that to me and i told them that ive got to make these choices for myself
how are you going to know who you like and dont if they are making these decisions for you
maybe they just arent ready to let you grow up and do things for yourself
