There isn't enough security in the world to keep a loving parent at complete ease when it comes to their children. Sometimes security isn't enough, as just last week, a 17 year old kid was shot and killed near my house by a police officer (who also sustained gunshot wounds from the shootout) because he was trying to kill ANOTHER kid execution style in broad daylight on the sidewalk!!
These are people who could be going to your school, attending the same parties, or hanging out at the same places.
There are some real wack jobs in this world, and if your parents don't care about you, there aren't too many people that will. Sometimes the decisions they make, or the restrictions that they place seem very unreasonable, but at the end of the day, they only want what's best for you.
Your parents were kids too, and as ridiculous as their house rules may seem, lots of times they know what's best because they've been through a lot of the same things.
As you get older, you'll be allowed to do more things, but right now they're saying no to a lot of things because they only want what's best for you, and the world can be a crazy place.

this is a very good question.
and there are two very good answers i can think of which serve as personal and social influences and realizations.
first of all........parents are protective because they value (love) their children. and it is also true that since parents value (love)(feel)(think) their off-spring they carry concerns for their safety and nurturance beyond the family home(s).
second......parents are protective because they have some awareness of the dangers and stresses which do occur beyond the family home. now.....most parents will not use terms of relationship which i am here using to explain this but parents have some ideas of relationship possibilities which they would rather not have their children contend with.
security is an illusion in a society which protects against some relationship possibilities but neglects many others.
for instance.......local law enforcements will quickly respond to the (un)likely event that a child is at risk from some sort of threat out-side the home (or even in-side the home). ........ but security becomes illusion when law enforcement officials (or irresponsible adults) fail to up-lift of the threats to a childs sense of security when ideas and feelings are enforced in exchange within socially accepting trying relationships.
there is very much to do about ideas-feelings (mind/soul) exchanges for integration into designed for purpose facilities (such as schools/playgrounds or even the city streets) which is for the most part neglected or unfulfilling from the poorly informed. ..... and.....within the typical present/contemporary power-seeking/holding mind-set which shows its' own values in protection. .... parents intuitively under-stand that society is basically unfit for child-care.
but if they say this....their own lives (and children) may be come less secure with the realization shared because not all people agree on what is valueable to secure.
be well.....be safe.....be loving

We can all remember the news items on TV where some lunatic(s) enter schools and shoots innocent children. We all remember child murders so gruesome to mention. However, it is always wise to remember that these are rare events. A child is more likely to be assaulted and worse by a near relative or neighbour - exactly when you think that they are secure. Without becoming paranoid, there is no such thing as complete security and we as parents and grandparents can only hope that the lessons we teach the young ones can keep them safe from the many hazards that will no doubt confront them in their young lives.

Hey sweetie, when you have children you will find out why mom and dad are so protective. Because they love you dearly and do not want anything to happen to you. It is a cruel world out there, and they would like to keep you around. Besides, cut them some slack, if something happend to you, they would blame themselves and never get over the trauma.

Pick up the paper and read it all the way through especially the arrests part. Then go to the national missing and exploited children web page : http://www.ncmec.org/ and then think of your most priced possesion in the world, wouldn't you be protective of it as well?

becuase it's the job of the parents to be insecure, over-protective people who worry far too much and can't cut the cord. it comes from love, although the most over-protective parents definitely take it too far. it usually takes parents many years to realize that a. the entire world is NOT out to get your children and b. you can't hold on forever
