It's not that ur parents are mean, It's probably that you don't like the answer that they are given you. I am a parent of a 16 and 10 year old. believe it or not it is the hardest job you will ever have in your life. You are always second guessing yourself. Should I let him/her? What if something happens? It depends also if you are trusted. Have you done something to mistrust you? Do you respect your parents? Depending on what you want......believe me we as parents have a hard time decided everything. we want the best for our children...Yes ....we do. sometimes as parents we think too much. My husband is the worrier. I am the one to look into as to if it is not too much to ask and Is it worth it ? what did I do in that situation. then we sit down discuss it with our child and go from there. Believe me... give your parents a break. It is so hard to do the right thing and still give your child enough growing up time.

Parents are often well-intentioned in what they say or do. However, many people forget or don't realize what a child is thinking or feeling, or understand all the factors in a situation that the child may be sensing, in which case what the parents say or do can seem (or may very well be) unfair.
Some folks also didn't have good models of parenting themselves, so they just continue to model bad parent behavior.
Parents are also often stressed, and they may unwittingly release that stress on their kids with decisions or actions that are frustrating or seemingly unfair.
If you have a situation where you think your parents are being unfair, you may want to sit down and talk with them about their rationale and feelings, offer your own opinions, and see if one of you changes your mind.

They want what's best for you, and they want to raise you right. Usually parents are strict, or "mean and unfair" because they simply don't want their kids to turn out into spoiled brats. And they also want to teach their kids how the way life works:- in life, a lot of things are unfair.

Hi,
My kids thought I was mean, because I made them wear seatbelts, let me know where they were. and do their homework.
Now, my daughter is a special ed teacher and my son owns his own welding business and they both understand now, why there were rules and regulations.
Your parents want you to have a good life. A good life takes caring about yourself and others, do the best job you can do in school. Being responsible, considerate, loving, kind and willing to listen and truly hear the other persons point of view before you have decided their answer is dumb and your best friends knows better.
Remember your job is to grow into the best adult you can be.
Also, remember to have fun along the way.

It all depends on what you consider "mean and unfair." They won't let you stay out past 10:00 p.m. on a school night? You're not allowed to go to a sleepover that includes boys too? They're just looking out for your best interests and trying to raise you to be a good, decent person.
They beat you mercilessly, starve you, and force you into child pornography? They're good candidates for a mental institution and large doses of mood altering drugs.

Because children need limits put on them to keep them safe and secure. All teens think their parents are mean and unfair.

it seems mean and unfair now, but when you are older you will understand. For the most part they are trying to do what is right by you. You just aren't old enough to realize this.

Because life is mean and unfair, and parents like to see their kids prepared for life.
