They don't let me go out with my friends without adult suervision and i'm over fourteen. They always ground me. They don't give me freedom and my own space. I always get in trouble for every little thing.

You sound like a handful already......maybe if you didn't push so hard, they wouldn't have to push back so much.

Good. More parents need to be like yours.
Just this morning 4 teenagers died (ages 13 and 14) because they snuck out of the house and got into a car accident.
Last week in my town a 7 year old and 3 teenagers died in the same circumstance - snuck out of the house and got into a car addicent.
Start making deals with your parents. They might let you go to a movie with your best friend as long as they could pick you up right when it was over. You'll have to earn their trust little by little. Every time you tell a lie or do something wrong, you backslide and start over at the beginning. Be a good kid and they'll let you do things.

Have you talked to them about it? If you think they're being too hard on you, just talk to them. Seriously. Don't yell or anything. Just calmly give them examples of the unfairness you feel. Compare. Let them know your friends have freedom that you don't. Ask them if they're going to be like this until the day you move out? And if they're still being unfair, tell them you can't wait until you move out and can do a n y t h i n g you want. It might scare them into wanting to give you some bit of freedom.
And if they start being more lenient.. Make sure to show your appreciation. When you show you're greatful, people tend to be much nicer.

I had the same problem. My mom was really strict and didn't let me do anything! The problem was, i wanted to do things that she didn't want me to get into. You need to communicate with your Mom. Also, you need to prove yourself more trustworthy that will depend on the parents. Also, ask yourself why you are so determined to "break out." Yes, it sucks being the one with the strictest Mom on the block but think about all the things that could go wrong with too much freedom! Would you rather have Kyle's Mom or Cartman's Mom? I have two bits of good news; eventually you will escape to college; you might try the "If you don't want me to go nuts when I go away to school, give me a small taste of freedom now." The other bit of good news is your family loves you enough to stop you from going crazy. Your parents might feel better about who you are out with if they knew more of your friends. Maybe it's not you but it is who you are out with-ask if that is the problem. Have your parents met your friends' parents?
Good Luck,

PS-Being a teenager blows.....I fought constantly with my parents but I knew that they loved me. It will get better.

You should sit them down and thank them.
My parents let me run wild and I ended up pregnant.
I am not saying that is what you are going to do if you are allowed freedom, but I am saying you should be greatful that you have a family that does want to spend time with you.
I don't regret my son at all. I love him.
You should have the time of your life right now with school events and movies ands all those things!!
Maybe there is an older cousin you can go with instead of your parents all of the time?

Well, I understand you want to do things and go out and have fun, but have you tried not getting in trouble for any little thing? The more you have them in your case the more they will refuse to cut the rope loose. Maybe just chill and help mom out more and try opening up a conversation with her and asking her nicely without getting upset what she will let you do at this time. As hard as it is to believe, they do if for your own good.

You should be very happy that you still have a family, STOP being such a baby and appreciate they love you therefore feel need to protect you. Probably if you start acting mature by noticing the IMPORTANT things in life they might trust you more and know that you will make the right decisions

Well, that must suck. Perhaps you should try hanging out with your family if you don't a lot already? Or maybe you should help out around the house some and then your parents will want to do things for you. Even just talking to them about what you're feeling might do it. Hope something works out!

Well is there something that you've done in the past to make them feel that you need protection for anything? I think that you should sit down and talk to them calmly without yelling and tell them just how you feel and why you feel that way. Just make sure you don't tell them that they're wrong by doing anything because you might get yourself into even more trouble with that.

You should wait until you grow up and then move out of their house. Your parents only care about you. Watch the news and you'll hear about some nice little girl getting hurt, raped or some other strange things. Stay focus and leave those boys alone, because that's the only reason you want to be alone.
