I used to be like that until a couple of weeks ago. my parents still won't let me "hang out" on the weekends, but I can for like 30 minutes after school and I have to stay close to the house. I didn't really do anything except start with something small. Like walking around the neghborhood or playing a small sprot game in a feild close to your house. I am not Sri Lankan Canadian. I'm Russian and my parents are wierd =D but I <3 them.

Yes. I can see thats very hard for you. Its perfectly natural for someone of your age to want to hang out with your friends. However, I am also a mum and I can safely say that, some of the things I know youngsters get up to make my hair white!! If you were mine, I would want to protect and love you for as long as I could too. Do not hate your parents for loving you....On the other hand, they are being a little over-protective and I wonder why? Are your friends nice...do they come over to your house to introduce themselves? Do you do decent activities like swimming and sports sometimes? Parents want to see you doing decent things and acting in a mature way before they let you venture out. Let them see more of your friends and let them get to know them and see they are nice creatures who will not lead you into bad ways..be mature around the house too and offer to help clean and tidy, do your schoolwork well, be thoughtful of their working day and how tired they might be....if they see these little changes in you, they will relent and let you have some freedom.....good luck.

it is the parents' insecurity...did u say u live in canada? well, thats the reason why they r not allowing u to hang out with your friends.....its very common for asian immigrant parents to think that at this age their child will be influenced by bad stuff if they hang out with friends...wat they dont understand is that there r two kind of companies...one is good n the other one is bad. they r feeling that u will be in bad company.....just try to be a good guy n win their trust...n u will be fine...n also sometimes invite your friends to your place so that your parents can figure out with whom u actually mingle.
good luck.

Listen to your parents son, they see things as they really are.My parents wouldnt let me hang with people I wanted to hang with when I was 15 and it made me mad.I didnt understand then, But I did later as I saw where their lives were headed.They turned out to be druggies and such.
