You are at an awkward part of your life. I don't think your going to find a good solution immediately. The long term solution is you need to start moving away from your parents control and take control of your own life. The truth is that simply walking across the street isn't safe if there is a drunk driver on the road. On most occasions it is safe, just like the subway, taxi, and bus. Ultimately though the main thing in being safe is to trust who your with and have back up plans for if things don't work out. At worst you should always feel like there are at least 2 or 3 people you can call quickly and they will be there for you. At your age, time shouldn't be an issue except in terms of disturbing your parents when you get home. Maybe if you really want to stay out late you need to plan on staying with a friend.

wow pretty crazy but real...anyways Im not too sure of any safe ways to go home when going out but one thing....I can reasure you that eventually you will have to face the world and society on you own and its better to start now then when you really need too, my parents were somewhat the same in the sense of they would only allow me to go to certain places and only once every other weekend and not only that but I had a curfew even though I was older than 21 years old the fact that i was their oldest "girl" gave them the right to sort off over protect me and this meant to be home at certain time no past like 1am and sometimes earlier if possible but basically just talk to your parents and explain to them your situation and remember not all parents are cool but if you take time to explain them what is bothering you and both sides are willing to compromise on something then it all should be solve. Now my parents dont really care what time I come home as long as I do every night...no sleeping overs which sucks and not only that but before my parents would not go to sleep until i was literally home which i use to hated because they would stay up waiting for me. Their cool now they have learn that they cant protect me always eventually im gonna need to learn from my own mistakes and my experiences which is good becasue thats what molds us into becoming a better human being and appreciated the little things in life.

Are you 18 or 19? You should work on leaving home.

Tell your parents you need your freedom!! Why if your 19 should your private life concern them?? Your an adult and your free to make your own choices and are old enough to handle yourself.
Stand Up 2 Them!! !GoodLuck! x x
