Your parents sound like they really care about you a lot and that they want to give you the best environment possible. It is hard to look at it that way when you are at their mercy, but try to be as mature about it as possible. Ask them if you can look at things on line TOGETHER, that way they know what you are looking at and they can trust that there isn't anything there you shouldn't be seeing. As far as the friend's language or topics there is nothing you can do about that -- you could try asking your parents if this friend can spend more time at YOUR house or doing things with your parents around so that they are aware of the contact you have with her and can monitor what gets said. Show your parents you are open to their involvement and that even if it makes you sad or frustrated that you KNOW they want what is best for you. You can ask them to make a compromise on their RESPONSE to the things they don't like -- but they shouldn't have to make a compromise on things they think are flat out wrong or dangerous for you. And if you are sneaking around doing things on purpose that they don't approve of -- ( like being on the computer for this question) maybe you aren't as trustworthy and mature as you'd like to believe. Give them reasons to trust you and back it up with actions -- it will go a long way in earning you more freedom.

I NEVER thought I would say this but they are probably doing what they think is best for you. I just turned 23 and am realizing that my mother had a reason for a lot of the rules I had-and broke. If you feel they are going a little too far with the computer I suggest you take them to the websites you want to go on and show them why they are okay for you to see.Don't scream and cry about how that's "not fair" and they never let you do anything, that won't get you anywhere. If you take an adult approah they will be more willing to give a little here and there.

Your parents are overprotective because this world today has made them this way. I would ask them to block the sites they do not want you to go on. That you understand that they are protecting you. If you are the one to mention that you want protection, your parents will respect you for bringing up the subject. And with you bringing this into conversation, I believe that your parents will ease up on you.
You don't say what your best friend said so I am not sure what to say about that situation. Good luck.

Ease up on yourself, that are only looking out for your best interest. you should have told your friend, to be careful what you write me, they may read it. Just try and get good grades, and show them that you appreciate what they do for you. In the long run, it is all going to be worth it!

`parents do what they can to protect their children, sometimes it might seem u nfair, try explaining to them about the places you want to visit on the internet, and maybe they will understand more

my parents are like that. i feel like I'm held in captivity. they don't approve of me listening to metal or wearing black everyday, which totally pisses me off.
