I am 16 years old and have no freedom. My parents go crazy if I am even 10 minutes late home. I have a part time job and I once was a bit later home but couldnt call them because my phone ran out of charge. I know this is caring but i need some freedom. help.

unfortunately part of our job as parents includes worrying about our children. I should say FORTUNATELY. Sometimes, we probably go a little overboard, but there are so many reasons why...
my advice is? Don't spend all of your phone minutes on senseless conversation or text messages, and save a few minutes to give your parents a quick call to let them know you're running late. Its amazing how far that one phone call will go with them, it shows responsibility and consideration.
As far as your other sense of freedom? Have a mature, rational conversation with your parents, avoid the yelling and screaming and see if that works. Be willing to give in on some things and you may find that they will be equally as willing to concede to some that you are looking for.
Keep in mind, there are so many things out in the world that can cross your path that your parents are letting you know about by keeping tabs on you. You don't see it now, but you will at some point. I know that sounds so lame, but its true....

You have to make sure that your parents have every reason to trust you. show them that you can be home at a decent hour, you can keep your phone charged, (there is no excuse for that) and that you are not going to get into trouble. Be a good kid. help out, respect your parents, and I am sure they will begin to trust you a little more each day.
Just remember that you ARE still in their house, and they pay the bills, so don't be a brat and throw a fit to have your way. That will not get you anywhere. Be patient. It may take them a week or so to notice how great you have been!

have u talked to them about the problem with the phone and it truly wasnt ur fault. u need to confirm and regain their trust in u so if something happens they know its not ur fault. however, being worried just because u arrived late at home does not mean u do not have freedom. if something really happened then did would have done the right thing!!!!! having no freedom means that they dont even let u make decisions, go out, get jobs and push u in small boundaries. if u really dont have this freedom u can only compromise with them.

In 2 more years you can have all the freedom you want, thats if you get your own place. As long as you live in there home you live by their rules.

Well parents do get a bit over protective (VERY OVERPROTECTIVE). Try having a chat with them about it and before you go out say that you might be home a bit later.
Hope this helps : )

Follow their rules, then, when you're 18 move.
Until then, THEY pay your bills, THEY feed you, THEY pay your rent... Shut up and obey the rules.
You're not responsible enough to find a pay phone, or keep minutes on your phone to call home... Why should they trust you?

So, you are able to go away once you opt for once you're 18, and your mom and dad can make you go away at the same time as they opt for in the experience that they desire. you won't be able to be said as a runaway at 18, even if you stay which include your mom and dad. in case you go away and they do no longer comprehend the position you went, they could call the police and record a lacking human being's record. at the same time as the police won't be able to rigidity you to do something, in the experience that they locate you they are going to ask you to inform your mom and dad the position you're and that you're ok. you do not ought to take heed to what the officer asks in spite of the truth that.

Usually when you turn 18 you are more than welcome to get a job that pays you enough to be on your own & pay your own bills as well as being self suffiecient. When you can do that & no longer are dependant on your parents for anything & do not live in their house, you can do as you please. Even if you are 26 & live with your parents or relatives you will need to go by their rules & expectations whether or not they seem reasonable to you or not.
When you get your own house & depend on no one to assist you in paying your way in life, you can make your own rules there.
