Because they know there's much more important things in life than hanging out with your friends. Your job as a child is to get an education, to decide what your passions and talents are, and to plan and begin to pursue your goals in life, which likely will include making money at some job. All your friends, boyfriends, social activities, etc. are just passing fancies, while your focus should be on growing up and becoming someone successful.

Giving them the benefit of the doubt, maybe they are concerned about what may or may not be going on at ur friends house. My daughter is only 4 but when she asks the same thing over and over, she gets in more trouble. Are you pestering them once they have said no? My 15 yr old sd asks and asks again and again....drives us crazy and gets her in more trouble too.
If your parents are truly being unreasonable. Take a good moment, like when you have done all your chores, you room is decent....and try talking to them. Communication is KEY in any and all relationships. I am not saying to do chores to be manipulative, just do what you should, be reasonably human to your parents, no constant scowling, whining moaning and groaning.....and say look, I know you don't want me to go to so and so's house. Is there a particular reason, or do you have concerns that maybe I could help you with. So many teens aren't open and up front with their parents and it makes them hard to trust. They don't know if you are going to Susa-belle's to get wasted, high or maybe your bf is going to meet you there, and her parents won't be home. Parents worry about this stuff. They have your best interest and your future at heart. I know sometimes if feels like you are being restricted, but one day you will understand.
I can onlyl tell you, a reasonable amount of honesty and openness will get you much farther.
Good luck.

Parents are really overwhelmed these days. It is just absolutely unimaginable how many things we have on our minds. If you can possibly take a couple of minutes every day to look into each parent'seyes individually and say, "How ya doin'? Anything we need to talk about? Can I help you with that?" (Pick something small and clearly defined on the helping bit or you'll be captured forever!), that will absolutely blow their minds. They'll be trying to Think of ways to make you happy. (p.s. getting grounded doesn't necessarily mean You did anything; they may be afraid of some other people. Remember, you're the only kids they have, you can't really be repaced.)

Their job isn't to make you happy. It's to make you a self-sufficient, productive, and contributing member of society.
You didn't get grounded for nothing. You broke a rule or lied or whatever. Prove to your parents that you can follow the rules, that you know the difference between right and wrong, and that you can be responsible and you'll find yourself happier. And when you act responsible they will be proud of you and you'll be treated like you want to be.

they have to be hard on us because they want us to know that we are loved. Seems hard to understand, but over time you will.
