They're parents. It's their job to worry. Be glad that they do. It is when they don't care what you do or where you are that you have to worry.

Sounds to me like you are a good kid...it is hard for parents to stop worrying about their kids...it just comes w/ the job!! Have your parents met your girlfriend? If not, maybe you should consider having them meet her...that way they know who this girl is! I'm not sure what to say about the eating issue, besides maybe try to be home for a couple meals so they can see that you are eating! You know, a big part of it may be that your parents just miss seeing you...it's a tough time in life...you want to be independent and out doing your thing, and your parents have been so used to you being dependent on them for so long that now its an adjustment for all of you! Parents will find stuff to worry over without you doing anything to cause it! Once your dad realizes that you are straight, he'll probably feel pretty silly for thinking you're not! Your best bet...just try to talk to them a little, when you don't communicate with them, they tend to just assume things! Good luck...being a teenager is hard, but so is being a parent!!

Not until you are 18 dear. And even after that, they will still worry, but can't be so demanding about it.
Tell them one final time all of these things and don't give them any more reasons to mistrust you. Work through all this.
By the way, why would they think you are gay if you have a girlfriend and they think you are having sex with her? That would make you straight right?
If you have a curfew, follow it. If you have rules, follow them. Your parents just want what is best for you and they have done a good job so far, right? You are doing just fine and keep it up.

u should be happy that your parents worry about you because there are some parents that don't give a **** about what their kids do... i have a teenage daughter and a son and i worry about them.. but i taught them at a very young age to tell the truth and be honest with me.. they turned out to be great kids.. just keep on reminding them u won't have sex and u are a smart kid in my eyes.. dad probably wishes u were gay so u don't get that girl pregnant... but if u keep it in your pants u will do just fine.. prove him wrong for once and all... good luck Son

parent will worry about you untill they die ..its not such a bad thing when you get older when you relize that they are the ones on earth that do tryuly care about you unconditially but as a teen you think of it in a negative way..maybe there is a reason they fear you with this girl maybe she seems fast?? just show them that you are a mature 15 year old and maybe they will cut you some slack

the only thing to tell you is to quit stressing ur parents are always goin to worry about you there your parents. well y would ur dad think ur gay if you have a gf? he was just scared. what you need to do is eat at home more so they believe you and tell them that you don't want to hurt urself ur not that stupid in a way....:)

They are accusing you of everything under the sun because they feel like they don't know you. Spend a little more time, talk with them, but open about your life, your opinions, and your morals and they'll stop snooping around and making accusations based on guesses of what they are.

They're parents. They'll worry, no matter if you're married and 42 years old. That's their job.
What you need to do is sit down with them and address these fears one by one. Once you do these things, they'll probably find a whole new set of things to worry about.

Constantly be worried about them, or at least act like it. Continously ask them what happened, what's wrong - if that works, then they'll know how annoying they can be. If that doesn't work, then post post-its around your house saying everything's okay and bla bla bla. LOL I can't be anymore help than that.

Cyn has it all down!
As a parent of a young Sasquatch, I too worry about her! I want to know who, what, when, where and why about everything in her life! It is my job to do so!
When you have children of your own, you might understand!
Be thankful that your folks care about your wellbeing!

I agree with Miss above. Make it a point to set a time with them to have a discussion. Really think about what you want to talk about, write it down, and talk to them.
That alone will show them you are very serious about it.
