My parents are really strict with me and they allways have been. Its not because i screwed up big time once and so from then on...NO. they dont let me go to the mall with my friends unless they come with me. The same with going to the movies or anywhere really. im not allowed on the internet unless they're "supervising", not allowed to date, go to dances et cetera.
Im 15 right now and i cant WAIT to turn 18 so i can be FREE!
Whats your advice?

your parents are just scared of something bad happening to you. maybe that was how their parents taught them and everytime they read the newspaper they see all the violence, the kidnapped girls, the bodies of women found, the children molested.......it even scares me!
the media has a lot to do with it too. sometimes, the media makes our generation so anxious and afraid to even help out one another. that is why we are a stressed and paranoid society with anxieties and depression. that is why everyone disgrusts their own neighbors and people who may not be the same culture or color as themselves. it is sad!
just be patient, sweetie. they are just so anxious and afraid of what they read. i know it is so easy to get mad at parents and want to dislike them and ignore them but they mean good. i promise you that. i know it seems like it takes forever to grow up but you will get older and by the time you are 18, things will have changed. they will relax a little more and give you some space. to most parents 15 is really young still. to me, it is really young too.....lol but my kids are all grown and they went through what you are going through and my daughter used to get sooooooo mad a me and talk about me on the phone with her friends.....lol
and i was also so scared someone was going to hurt my children.
she is now 29, a mother of 2 little girls and we talk on the phone almost daily. can't believe that a few years ago she hated my guts!!! now, i have grandkids and i am worried to death about them walking to school alone.......lol
don't hate them.....just understand the fear that they have. i know you must have heard this a million times, but i will say it ... have a little patience......remember, you get older every day and days pass....then, weeks pass, then months and before you know it you are all grown up!

The younger you are the more naive you are. Put it this way, do you think you are smarter today than you were 5 years ago? Think of all the things and experiences you have gone through in the last five years to make you that much smarter about everything. Now think 20 years down the road how many more experiences you will have that will make you even more smarter. You'll meet hundreds of people, have different work experiences. You'll survive heartbreaks and celebrate victories. You add up all these smarts and you eventually get to wisdom.
Parents want their children to grow up into good smart confidant independent people. They also worry about safety. It is so easy to trick people. Think how easy it is for you to trick some little kid, and remember that someone older has that same ability to trick you.
Remember when you had training wheels on your bicycle? Your parents probably took them off for you when you were ready. But you've still got training wheels on your life. Those wheels will come off too, but when you are ready.
Good luck.

My parents were the same way with me and I couldn't wait to turn 18 and get out. BUUUUT they just love you and want to protect you. True, you are probably sheltered from a lot of stuff that might make you a little vulnerable out there in the real world and that sucks. Also, you probably sneak around and do what you are told not to do most of the time anyway. Am I right? I wish I had waited longer to move out of my parent's house. Life was so much easier then even though I had a lot of rules. Be patient with them though. They just love you!

sweety you might think you have it tough right now and you might think your parents are strict and you can never do anything.Watch the news and you will understand that they are just looking out for their baby girl.Even adults are abducted and raped.Maybe you can learn from this just be careful and when you turn 18 listen to your gut feelings
