Don't hate your parents. I know you've probably heard this before, but they're doing it because they care about and love you. Maybe they are a little more protective than they should be, but that's them. I've seen kids whose parents don't care what they do, and believe me, you don't want that. It SEEMS bad now, but you'll appreciate them for it later, trust me!!!
(My parents are dead...mom pretty recent, and I think about it all the time, she thinks I didn't like her--which, + I tried to tell her--was as far from the truth as U could get...she was older 'sr. citz.' and got easily frustrated, going to Dr's. and stuff.)

I can see parents being protective, but that's a little too much. If anything, most homecomings are actually pretty dull. They're so heavily monitored that the students can't do anything.
I remember my homecoming- the teachers were so overbearing that we couldn't even carry a cup of punch outside & bring it back inside (they thought that we would take it outside to spike it). If we did go outside they'd watch everyone like a hawk. The prom was just as "bad" as far as monitoring goes. They checked our stuff. No one was able to bring anything big enough to carry a bottle in to begin with & the drinks table was ALWAYS monitored. At all of the events we had police watching the area to make sure that no one did anything stupid & that no one came in that wasn't supposed to be there. I know that one couple was sent home because the guy was too old (in his 20s). Same thing went for my little sis's prom & homecoming. This was back in the late 1990s/early 2000s, so it happened way before all of the stuff today. I'd imagine that the schools are even more monitored than before.
Besides, it's the afterparties that all of the drinking & stuff happens at. Maybe you can get your parents to talk to some of the teachers & the principal to show them that you will be well protected at the party (or get one of your teachers to talk to your parents).

oh, i dread the day my children hate me for loving them too much and wanting to protect them from the evils of this world. as a kid, we have to give u the freedom u need to grow up and become the person u are going to be. as a parent, we will never be able to stop trying to protect the ones we love the most from the bad things in this world. its so hard to find that balance. im sure u understand that...but i also understand how u need to be trusted and allowed some freedom. guess that there will never be an equal balance as long as there are predators,drugs,alcohol,peer pressure, and columbine kids. id rather have my children mad at me, than hurt,raped,or killed.

I'm only 22, but i can say you will thank them one day. You may not think so at the moment. I didn't realize it until i had kids everything i was told no for, or was checked for, or whatever was for a good reason. My kids are too small to worry with that right now. I'm not saying i'll be hard on my kids, but i'll want to know what's going on in their life. I think if you have a good bond between parents/kids, you don't have to be as strict on them because you know you can trust them and they will come to you for help or to talk. So maybe try to get a good bond between you, talk alot, let them know they can trust you.

You hate your parents, the people who ensured that you are alive right now, because they want to protect you and make sure you get to adulthood safe and sound? How totally selfish. Ask yourself if they are in a car wreck tomorrow and they are gone for good... how do you feel? Will you be thinking of some silly dance then? Get a grip.

are you giving them reasons not to trust you? maybe you are if they are acting like this. maybe you need to sit down with them and have a serious conversation like adults and let them know how much these little things mean to you like going to homecomming dance or hanging out with your friends..or anything else you want to do. let them know you can be trusted sweetheart. let them earn your trust. tell them where your going, who you are going to be with and what time you are going to be home and give them a phone number where they can reach you..and earn there trust by comming home when you say you will be home..if you say you will be home at 10 be home at 9:30 just to show them you are responsible and they have no reason to worry about you. parents are just being parents. you feel like you hate them now but its all a learning experience. they do it all for good reasons. and you just have to sit down with them and talk to them and ask them why they dont let you do those things and convience them you will be good and everything will be okay. trust me. good luck.

You're parents know what's best for you. They know more than you think. You hate the control they have but they are the only people in this world that have your best interests in mind. (Not to sound brutal but some day you're parents will be gone and you'll wish you still had them. My dad died last month and I totally wish he was still in my life.)

that just means your parents care about you you dumb b*tch. just be glad that they actually give a damn about you. My parents haven't paid any attention to anything i've done for the past two years. Now i have bad grades, i got kicked off the football team, and i'm just about one more suspension from being expelled from school and it's only the six week mark. be glad that they care. i wish mine did

See if you can have a party at home instead, or compromise some other way.
In the end, you have parents who care about you. Some kids are not that lucky.
