Empathize first. Deeply try and think like them for a while.
Write down what you think. Talk to your Dad and Mom - and see if your empathizing was accurate or not.
Review all your responsibilities and attitude toward them.
Could you be more responsible? Is your reputation solid or shaky?
Have you lied, etc. - to the point where no one trusts you, not just your parents? You have a boy friend AGAINST your parents wishes - why? During school whats outside after 8 that can't wait - must be there stuff - is this real?
Are your priorities for your future - college - going to be reached - or are you failing your goals that YOU set for yourself? (Translation: how are your studies? B and higher?)
Independant people always work on their future goals first.
Children tend to party - then get jobs they hate, and are bitter. I heard that in every cab while I was in Hawaii, while in the Navy. "I could have retired..." I stopped taking cabs - didn't anyone plan for being old?
I know you see an old man blahing away, and your right.
Blahing is all I got left. I'm old - so maybe you will not do what my friends did. Party/school/work - then loose their job because they partied too long and fell asleep, missed classes, dropped out of school/no job. Partied till no money- out on street. Restart process - swearing to themselves they were not going to party so much, but drunk just as much, - 10 years of miss used time. Now 28 and so very unhappy....
PLEASE DO NOT TREAT YOURSELF SO BADLY.
Thanks for letting me blah blah blah for so long:)
Peace.

no matter how old that you will be parents are still parents and you will continue to be their 'baby' in their heart and mind and that's the fact that we have to live with and it goes for mine as well. trust is not by demand but gain. you will understand and appreciate your parents when you are them - try to put yourself in their shoes. thank God you are not allow out after 8pm! i don't know why all these kids even younger than you or almost same age like to hang out in the middle of the street even at midnight or before that and starts to be trouble maker and let the police chase them all over. i really can't understand, we have our own business and we have so many troubles from these kids nowadays.

Do what your parents say. You've only got 2 more years at home until you are technically an adult. Enjoy your carefree and worry-free life while you still can. Trust me on this one. I was out on my own at 16.
