I mean like everywhere.. out to eat, shopping, and it's always with THEIR friends. I just sit there and do nothing but look at the wall or table the whole time. I mean I get a "hey, how are you? how's school?" and that's it.
What the hell is the point of making me go places with them? I really do not understand.

I'm 16 and whenever I try to talk to them calmy about it they tell me "we want you with us" but there's not really a point of being with them when they don't even talk to me or pay attention to me.

How old are you? Have you talked to them about this?

Hey, you parents are proud of you and want their friends to see how wonderful you are, how handsome/pretty you are and how smart. So this is your chance to show off young friend. Talk to the parent's friends as if you were one of them, ask questions of them and ask their opinions about whatever you wonder about. You can learn a lot of social graces too if you just watch them. Many young people who are not afraid, of adults, end up getting great opportunities. Out in the real world, it is not what you know, but rather who you know and how they can help you. If you were interested in being a lawyer and your dad's friend had a law firm and needed summer help, wouldn't it be great if he knew you were a good kid wanting to get ahead in life? Yes, and that is only one reason why you should make the most of these outings. Also, it is a really great way to get to know you folks better. You just know them as mom and dad, but you have the opportunity to better know what they are all about. Hey, I am a mom of 3 grown kids and we work together every day. I can't tell you what a kick I get out of learning about them too. So, my advice to you is take an interest. You folks want you around and want to teach you everything they know. Be very glad. Lots of parents don't have a clue of how to raise kids.

Maybe they just want to spend more time with you before you turn 18. I mean when you turn 18 your an adult and they wont have there little girl anymore after that. You'll be heading to college dating moving out getting married. They probably just want to be with you while they can. I'm married and have been out for 7 years and I actually miss being with them sometimes. Believe me it may bother you now but when your on your own your gonna miss their company.
Maybe ask your mom sometimes when you go out if you can bring a friend that way your not so bored.

It's there way of showing you love,your at the age where anything they do or say you will find something wrong with it,like now you don't know me but i bet your getting a little mad with me. When my son was your age we would ask if he wanted to go with us if he said no then no It was. I understood that he would enjoy himself more hanging out with his friends then with us. You need to explain exactly why you want to stay home and it has nothing to do with them.

if they won tell you why, give them reason to not take you.
a bottle of tobasco sauce and a tube of superglue, a few elatic bands, some pins, and cling film. its amazing what a young and creative mind can do with these things.
my parents quickly learnt that talking honestly with me was the best course. shouting failed I just smiled and said nothing.
plus its amazing what you can do with answering machines or voicemail services.

Either they really care about you a lot and are trying to include you in their activities.......OR.....they fear for what you may do if left home alone =P
Why not tell them you're NOT into it!? OR.......try making other plans with friends or whoever, and then when they try to take you somewhere, say you've already made other plans!

They probably want you to know more about them, so you will tell them more about YOUR life. Maybe your parents also want you to talk about YOUR friends and have them talk to YOUR friends like they do for you! hope this helped. =)

Well you don't say how old you are, that would have a factor in the answer, or they can't trust you alone.

They don't feel you are mature enough to be left alone and they are too cheap/can't afford a babysitter.
