Simply understand that Virgo people like order in their lives, and that controlling the people around them is one way of maintaining order. You probably can't change your parent, but you can try to work out reasonable compromises to allow your parent to still feel that everything is under control, while giving you enough freedom to keep you from going insane and hopping a train to the nearest non-extradition country.
I hear you, though. I'm a Leo, and my mom is a Virgo. My childhood and teenage years were... interesting.

I am a Virgo parent. I would not catagorize us as dominating, but rather analitical in nature and very nurturing. Being the virgo parent to two daughters I realized that I cannot make their life for them. They have to make the choices. What I try to do is give them all the options when it comes to making the decisions. Sometimes I was right on the money and other times I was not. I think open conversations with such a parent is the best means. Show her that you have weighed all the good and bad when making a decision on your independence. She will then realize that you are mature enough to be independent. My daughters are now all grown and have their own lives. There is not a time goes by that I do not get thanked for at least giving them an open forum of discussion. To this day, they still want my "advice" on subjects of all matters. Try just talking first and "ask" not "tell"! Good Luck.

I think this is more of an issue of a teen rebelling and testing the waters with a parent than your astrological signs. Your parents have been around a lot longer than you are. Believe it or not, they were teenagers once. They are raising you the best way they know how. Imagine how the world would be if no limits were set. People would drive whatever speed they want, go into stores and take whatever they want, show up at their job whenever they want (if they even decide to show!) and there would be chaos everywhere!!
If you were truly independent, you would be out on your own, living at your own place, working, and paying your own way. There is a lot of responsibility involved. You will have to learn how to budget your time and money responsibly. If you are not successful, then you will have many problems, especially when you want to buy a big-ticket item like a car or a house. Until you're on your own, learn from your parents and follow their limits.
A way to earn some freedom is to talk to your parents. Maybe if you can show your parents that you can handle some of it responsibly (like if they give you a later curfew, you will tell them where you are going and with whom, and you check in with them and get home promptly at, let's say 11:00 p.m.) Then follow through!

well, I am an Aries and I have a Virgo father and I have to say that he has been a wonerful father to me. He is very generous and it is true that he is not so dominating as nurturing... he is so afraid that i will make mistakes (and i have- many careless ones that he has bailed me out of) but that is just his insight and good analytical thinking that i don't possess. I don't know what i would do without him. he is always there to give advice (always right) and money(of course, he is a very keen investor and has lots of $$)
my mom is a cancer and she is the perfect mother type with the domestic stuff - they make a perfect parenting couple - don't know how they ever survived raising me!!

I can certainly agree with you that having a virgo parent is hard...All I can say is good luck to the harsh cristicims that they always love to dish out...just try not to take it too hard and realize that they are your parents.and they're intentions are for the best of you

Duh. Parents are supposed to be dominating. if your parents can't tell you what to do, they're very bad parents or you're a pretty messed up child. Just keep in mind that while they're supporting you, they control your lives. You aren't free until you can take care of your own, do your own dishes and laundry. You can do all that your parents ask you do to, to show that you're a good kid, then tell them what you want to do. Basically, suck up to them. Rebelling is never a good idea. Good luck!

My mom was a Virgo. She was very dominating. I just bided my time until I was old enough to move out!
