Answer 1

Have you been in any trouble in the past? Some of that seems a little extreme.

Talk to them, calmly. Let them know how you feel about this. Ask them "why" they won't let you do some of these things, so you can understand there feelings as well.

I will give you some further advise though, especially with parents this controlling (or concerned, depending on the whole story), a screen name like sexygurl for someone your age isn't going to paint a good image for your intentions in their eyes.

Answer 2

well understand, they love you...i agree they should provide you some freedom to grow and experience life on your own, but not too much.
I have a fifteen year old daughter, As long as she continue to show that she can be responsible, and Ican trust her word...at all times...she has room to breathe. your parents need to know that they can trust you to make the right decisions and not be influenced by peer pressure. Have a sit down and talk with them, maybe this will help. they also may not be ready to let you go...sometimes parentshave a hard time with this when their children are growing up. let them know how you feel calmy, without screaming or getting upset and arguing, but maturely. this may surprise them. If you are truly ready, show them that you are responsible and can be trusted. It also helps if you are doing well in school. Another thing your parents may look at is the type of "friends" you may have. One other thing hun...look at your screen name--sexygurl??? what does this say to others about you knowing that you are only almost 15 yrs old? Are you telling us the whole story?

Answer 3

well your parents are really strict, however thay do those things to you because they care for you. at the age of 15, you really can't make a sensible decision, or maybe some but not many, so maybe you will make a wrong decision in some cases , which can have many influences on your future life. Your parents don't want that to happen, really.
Maybe you should come and discuss with your parents, ask for some experiences from your teachers about what you should or should not do. And you can show that you are mature enough to decide something so that they will be a little bit easy - going with you.
My parents also don't want me to have a girlfriend,too, I'm 16 now. However, I have one, who maybe they dont know. I always try my best to please my parents and my girlfriend. Hope you can too . Good luck

Answer 4

I considered my parents to be strict when I was in high school, but I was allowed to have sleepovers, go out with friends, etc. I think you need to have a serious talk with your parents. Be honest, ask them why they feel they need to put so many restrictions on you. Tell them that they have raised you right and one day they are going to have to trust that you know right from wrong and are not going to get yourself into any trouble by going out and being a teenager! You deserve to have fun with your friends and go to birthday parties. Tell them how you feel and maybe they will see things in a different perspective. You are growing up, will have your driver's license soon, so at some point they will have to allow you some freedom. Let them know it really bothers you and that you respect them but also want some room to do things you want to do and that you would never behave in a disrespectful way, but that you need some freedom.

Answer 5

Sorry, being a parent I can understand where your parents are coming from, but I also understand your need to gain some trust and respect for your personal rights. Sit your parents down and in a reasonable voice tell them your concerns and desires, every now and then throw in, I love you. Hopefully they will start lowering their demands and allow you more freedoms. Keep talking and be respectful and try not to lose your temper. Good luck.

Answer 6

Thats just the normal way of thinking... but in between you can either gain their full trust or you can try to be diplomatic and have what you want.

Answer 7

O my god!! Sit down and talk to them both or even 1 of them. If you can't talk them,talk to someone in your family, you can trust.

Good Luck X
