Dad's go a little weird when it comes to their baby girls.
Try making sure there's a couple more females in the group, he's uncomfortable with the boy to girl ratio, and truthfully, I can't blame him. The world is just too unstable these days for any parent to blindly trust any situation.
You're dad's seen the world and he knows what can happen and he's only concerned for you and your safety. It's a pain, I know, but he isn't doing it to be mean.
Add more females to the group, that should help. Try checking in with him while you're out. Call him every hour and a half just to let him know you're all right. It doesn't have to be a long conversation, just tell him you're checking in and you're fine, and you'll be home... whenever, (but give him a time).
You'd be surprised how just a 30 second phone call can put a parent's mind at ease and make the trust grow a little faster.

It's not that your dad doesn't trust you. It's that your dad like most dads does not trust your male friends. He also thinks that you are too young, too innocent and basically too stupid to avoid being manipulated by these boys. Your fathers generation just like my fathers generation truly believes that women do not want sex and will have sex for things like 'love'. Your father is afraid that these male friends will 'steal' your innocence and your virginity and get you pregnant or in the very least rape you. Your father sees you as nothing more than a innocent and pathetic young virginal girl. At 15 there isn't much you can do about it. When you get older fight your way out and keep on fighting.

well...i guess...your dad's just very protective over you. ..he loves you and he doesn't want something bad to happen to his beloved daughter...he's given your bro more freedom because he's older than you are and besides girls are more fragile than boys. your dad's just afraid you'll end up a loser if you'll lost something irrepairable and that's your virginity...being 15...you're still dad's baby but when you're 18 then probably Dad will set you free...just relax and wait for that day to come. Cheer up sweetie!!!

Overproectiveness. My mom does that too and it also drives me crazy! Try reasoning with him unless he's hard headed. Then prove or suck up to him is all I know to do.
