I hate to break it to you, but your dad doesn't have to give you a reason. As long as you are 18 and living under his roof, he can control you however he pleases. And he probably isn't interpreting your behavior as mature either. Not to mention, he's got the upper hand because you need to go to him for money.
I'd suggest getting a job and just trying to gain your own independence. Don't have a car or your license? See if you can have a friend drop you off and pick you up from work-- try to find a job where you work a couple days during the week and during the weekends (make sure you have time for homework too or else your dad really will have something to complain about). First gain financial independence.
Also, leave him alone. Don't talk to him and don't argue with him. Right now he is convinced that you aren't mature enough to do whatever it is that you want to do, so he can refuse. Figure out ways to get what you want without his help, and go for it.
Eventually your dad will see that you are tired of arguing with him and he'll come around.

You may not know it, and your Dad may not know it either, but you still need him. I hope he is kind to you and tells you nice things about yourself. But if he doesn't it won't help if you are yelling at him. This is just a suggestion, but try doing what the movie said and "pay it forward" some time. Do something nice for him. Do your chores without complaining or being asked. Do something like fix dinner some time, or choose a cheaper thing on the menu if money is an issue with him. Try to lighten his load in some way. Just give it a try, even if you are angry with him and vise versa. If he sees a kinder side to you, a more responsible side, a more mature side, things are bound to change for the better. No one ever said a parent couldn't learn better behavior from a kid.
Good luck.

Act in a responsible way. More freedom is earned. Yelling is childish. Get a part time job for money. Remember his house, his rules. When your 18 and can support yourself then you can move out and do what you want.

apologize to him, say you are sorry for disrespecting him, write him a letter if that is easier for you, you only live once and you only have one dad so treat him with the upmost respect. tell him you are sorry for yelling at him and that you wont do it again and proove that to him that you will be a better child remember your place you are the child and he is the father! as far as money goes go babysit, clean the house up, do anything, find chores to make money..how old are you? you can get a job starting at 16.

You will get your freedom, once your dad feels that you are responsible enough to take care of yourself. At age 15yrs old, you are still young. You can start showing love and concern for the family, and show your dad that you are responsible and you can be trusted and take care of yourself independently.
Once you have acheived that, your dad will give you the freedom.
take care.

I hate to break this to you, but parents worry more about our kids as they get to be 15-16, are big enough to get into adult trouble, and are still acting like kids.
There's more to worrry about.
Try showing some forethought, if you're asked to do something, do it. When you want something, you're more likely to get it if you've fulfilled your obligations.
It works that way in the real world too.
