How do i get my parents to be less unreasonable?
my parents are soo strict for no reason. im a straight a student, i play 2 varsity sports, and i do all sorts of community service and extra curriculums. im a good kid, i never get in trouble, and yet my parents dont let me do anything. im 16 and have my license but im almost never allowed to drive, especially when my dad is home. im not allowed to drive at night. im not allowed to go to parties. im basically not allowed to do anything at night. im just so sick of my life and i hate my parents. dont tell me that theyre just looking out for me cus my two older sibling get to do whatever they want and i know they had way more freedom when they were my age. and im not the youngest so dont give me that either
sorry i didnt realize that online lingo had to be perfectly written. and im number one out of 400 kids, so suck it *****

Tell them exactly what you wrote to us...ask them the reasons they don't trust your judgment. Maybe they can slowly give you more privileges, like driving a little more often...if you prove to them that you are a responsible driver, then maybe the next step, they can allow you to go to a party...I am a parent of a teenager myself...and I also consider myself to be strict...I have told my son to not drink and to never get into a car with anyone who has...if he ever needs a ride, he can call me and I can meet him around the corner so that he does not have to get embarrassed having his "mommy" pick him up from the party....Another thing...my son does not have a curfew, BUT, he needs to call me and tell me exactly where he is and what time he will be home (we just want to make sure our kids are safe)...If he abuses that, then he gets grounded and won't be able to go out at all. As a parent myself, I get where your parents are coming from...But, we have to realize that we need to allow our kids to try to make good choices and cannot hold their hands 24/7...all in all, it looks like they're already on the right track to raising a fine young man...but if you talk with them, maybe they can give you a little more freedom one step at a time.

thats weird, are u the only boy or the olny girl in the house? that may be it. If not maybe it's because u are doing so well and they don't want you to fall in with the wrong sorts of people and ruin all the things u've work hard for. I understand u compleatly tho. I'm 14 and I'm not allowed out after dark. so sucks. Good luck.

Maybe you ARE a straight A student and do community service and are a good kid BECAUSE your parents are strict with you... did you ever think that maybe THAT is why they are stricter with you then they SEEM to your other sibblings? Maybe they want YOU to achieve something in your life and are keeping a tight leash on you to INSURE that you will keep on the straight and narrow and do something promising with your life as an adult. As for driving at night, in most states you would not be allowed to anyway unless it was for EMPLOYMENT ... I wouldn't let my son drive until he was 18... Your parents obviously love you VERY MUCH or they wouldn't be so strict... so I would say - - - it's only 2 more years until 18 so stick it out and be happy they love you enough to CARE SO MUCH.

Your dad and mom are completly unreasonable. even with the truth that its truly propose to point the religion. Are you attempting to say that athiest dad and mom are unreasonable. That had no longer some thing to do with this. (i'm a baby yet im athiest) i imagine your dad and mom are those mind washing you imagine thats ok no longer the media..... EDIT: To the guy named "rejected" your no longer tryting to be you goth and emo is what your doing and it really is gross and trashy your dad and mom attempt to toughen a good searching and performing toddler inspect i love this positioned those clothing on and stand in a reflect and inspect your self as others might want to work out you no longer you black nail polish black bands shirts and grey jeans says gloom and doom all day lengthy. you look awful pathetic and depressed. you look as in case you merely dont care about what you look as if also little ones who gown like that typically scouse borrow listen on your dad and mom you'd be satisfied you probably did Did your dad and mom take care of you merely like the OP's question??? You of direction recognize no longer some thing about emo and gothic style. Goth isn't band tees and tight clothing (properly except for corsets) Please wikipedia the be conscious goth. And emo isn't trashy both, it really is a music class and now a style. also protecting that she isn't being herself is genuinely incorrect. you have not in any respect ever met her in genuine existence. Helloooo she likes skinny jeans hence she is donning it... i love tight pants and picture saggy pants are terrible and unsightly. Oh no i'm no longer being myself becuase i favor to positioned on tight pants. also band shirts aren't from now on trashy both. donning a band tee is an superb way of expressing you're musical likes. and because that even as does your clothing factor out wether you're a criminal or no longer. properly except you're donning a detention middle uniform or a blouse that announces "i'm in a gang!" or "I scouse borrow" Arrgh dammit why did I merely form that....you're probable a troll :( Oh properly

ask them why they suck, maybe they like you best and want you to do keep up the good work, heck I am proud of you and I don't know you, I really would ask them though, and don't take a temper tantrum speak to them intelligently and compassionately

It will all come in due time. Maybe your older siblings ruined it for you by being bad when they went out.

You claim to be a straight A student and yet you can't spell, capitalize and punctuate. Fail.
