I think maybe you have forgotten who the parent is and who the child is. Maybe if you start acting responsibly, like coming home ON time, you may find them willing to give you more chances to choose for yourself.
What you want is only gained by being responsible for your actions. Remember every day they see and hear the news...someones child is always coming up dead, missing or responsible for some tragedy. Every parent holds their breath until their child comes home safe. A minute more turns our oxygen deprived brains into swamps of horrible imagined things that have happened to a child that has no clue of the danger out there.
Give your parents a break...they do this because they love you. When you have children of your own you will suddenly discover how smart they were and wanted only the best for you.
If this is peer-pressure related, please consider being the one to set the example for your groups behavior. Be the leader not the follower and if they don't like it get some new friends.

It is a war of wills--but truthfully--you lose--if you are an adult then you can do what you want---when you move out---stay home as a minor--your parents rule. Getting along is much better than fighting---how long till you are an adult? When you hit the age---move out and do what you want. When you have kids--you'll do the same thing your parents are doing---then you'll understand. They really must love you if they care enough to monitor a time and expect you home. Immaturity is shown by your tantrums, and you are just making them more irate over the issue===get home on time and stop all the inane crap----spoiled brats are annoying----don't let yourself be a brat--not at all attractive.

Parents worry! It is in their nature to worry about you when you are late. You should be on time. Try being a few minutes early. This is a lesson that will follow you through out life. Your boss will be mad if you are always late. Someday when you are a parent you will understand. In todays world your parents have to be worried about you. The rules may seem unfair at times, but follow the rules will help you in the long run. Your not just coming in late, you are causing them stress because they worry about you.

It would be incredibly useful to know how old you are! If you are under 18, follow their rules. Maybe ask for that extra half hour. If you are over 18, you have to balance breaking curfew with the possibility of getting kicked out. If they set your curfew at 11, and you are over 18, stay out till midnight. BUT TELL THEM WHERE YOU ARE! It's never fair to let your parents worry, no matter how old you are! If they expect you home at a certain time, and you want to stay out later, call them and tell them. There will probably be battles. But if you aren't even out of high school yet, they are setting a curfew for your own good. You need sleep to do well in school, and they're worried about you maybe slutting around. If you show you are responsible, they may extend your curfew on weekends.
When I was in HS, my curfew was too early. If I were even 1 minute late, I would be grounded. If I wanted to stay out later, and I called and asked, often they would say okay, I can stay out another hour. After I graduated, had my own car (they couldn't take away the keys to a car that was in my name), they still set curfews, but I completely ignored them. I SHOULD HAVE called those times and told them where I was! There were many threats I would be kicked out. Eventually, they stopped setting curfew, as I was 19.

If you are having that problem there is a very easy solution. Move out, pay your own way and then you have the option of coming home whatever time you prefer, otherwise as long as you live with them, no matter what your age, you need to respect the fact that they are your parents, it is there home, and they have rules that need to be followed.

It depends how late you are. My parents got used to it when I always came home late.
If they have trust on you or if you gave them an idea that you are safe, then they might not get mad at you.
Believe me, they do care alot and get worried that's why they get mad.

They are only worried that something might have happened to you. When I used to do it I never once thought anything would happen to me and lucky it didn't, but guess what it will be payback time when you get older and have your own children and you will do the same thing and then you realise how bad it must have been for them waiting and worrying

I know your parents may show angry emotion, however they are really worried more than anything.
And being on the defense,,,,as you are wrong and not showing responsibility they will be upset as well. Make them proud and be responsible....don't worry them. They love you I am sure.
