You are under 18 and your parents have the right to control you. You live in their house, eat their food and spend their money. You sneak out of the house? Maybe thats why you need to be controlled. You lie and you have an attitude problem like all kids your age. Once you are an adult and move out then you make your own rules. Do you think you can make it on your own? I moved out at 19 because I hated my moms rules and got a quick reality check. Rent was $650, my car was $200 plus gas $100, credit card was $100, utility was $45, phone and cell phone was $85, then food was between $130-$200 Can you afford all this each month? And still have time to go to school? When you can, let me know otherwise stop being a bad kid and grow up. You are almost an adult, its time to start to change who you are right now. You dont want to end up like those losser ppl who never grow up, hate everyone and have a lame job.

Your parents are just doing their job to protect you from harm. You still live under their roof, eat the foods they buy, wear the clothing they buy, use the phone, electricity, water, etc.....until you are able to support yourself with a good job and paying for everything that you need, then you can be on your own. But, right now, you are their property and you obey their rules.
If you are a good kid, then why sneak out of the house on weekends? Just obey the rules, and when you are 18 and on your own, that will be a different story.
Remember, they do these things for you because they love you!

They
LOVE
YOU!!!
they only mean well, some people show it better than others, my mom was overprotective and there is a reason, the world is a DANGEROUS place these days and honestly I would think you are blessed to have parents that are looking out for your best interest even when you think its not needed...some peoples parents could give a crap less about them, and you know what? those people turn out to be LOSERS like thier parents...sooner or later they will lighten up on you...maybe if you stop fighting it, they will let up more ;)
