You can thank God every day that you have a father in the home and that he cares about you.
Hanging out may seem like a great thing to do, but in reality it just involves bored kids who end up looking for trouble. When you're around 15-16, I think your dad might be more open to going out as long as he knows and approves of your friends.

Ok 13 yo you are almost there. The important thing to remember is that your dad knows that hanging out can lead to big problems even if you are doing nothing wrong. He is concerned for your safety. There are some alternatives such as school groups or sports, the boys and girls club, or church activites that may meet with his approval. It is a dangerous world out there and you should thank you father for trying to protect you while he can.

You should be glad that your dad is just doing his job right, he is just trying to protect you. May be if you tell him to drop you off and pick you up at certain time, I suggest the movie theater and an early time. I know that at your age is so hard to understand that we as parents worry about you, and that sometimes is hard for us to realized that you are growing up, but if you talk to him without getting upset and feeling like he is the enemy, you can let him know that he can trust you, If you don't have a cell yet that might be a good time to throw that in, but if he still think that you are too young well...just give him time, with all that is happening out there it's normal that he just wants to protect you. Good Luck!

Unfortunately there are no websites available that are going to get your dad to trust and respect you. Those 2 things are earned. If he has a good reason not to trust you, then you are wasting your time. If he doesn't you can always argue that you are and have been trustworthy and theres no reason to doubt you. Some parents won't listen no matter what you say so if you have a stubborn one theres nothing you can do. Good Luck.

You know that feeling sucks when you your controlled by a parent. But someday you'll will be grateful (and probably a little annoyed) that he controlled you. Because he is being protective. And you'll be grateful the day you are in college, or successful where ever and those friends you wanted to hang out with are druggies, in jail, knocked up three women, and they are miserable. Your dad's thinking of your future.

My parents didn't let me run around with my friends when I was that age either. But, I stayed out of trouble and when I turned 16, my parents trusted me enough to let me come and go (with my own car). I earned their trust and thus, it paid off in the long run.
Besides, your dad probably knows better and is saving you from a lot of trouble.

Sorry parents are usually right. If you want to hang out with your friends invite them over. Or you could ask your Dad to come along (hang back) but to be there.

I understand your frustration. My parents were very strict with me when I was a teenager. There were times when I really thought that they were being so unfair and I really felt like I hated them. But, as I got older, I realized how much it means to me that they were strict. I realize now that what they told me not to do could have been very dangerous and that they were only looking out for my well-being. I will always appreciate it.

You gotta respect your father's rules...even if they seem stupid or not what everyone else is able to do. He told you the "until you are 18" line probably because you talked back to him or maybe became snappy with him. It's what parents do...just continue to earn your father's trust and RESPECT his wishes. Never go behind his back and he will see the responsibiltiy and trust in you..only then will you get more freedom.
