What to do about strict parents?
First off i live in a small town of about 3,000. And I'm 15 and the oldest and not a trouble child, even with almost a 4.0 GPA. Oh and I'm a sophomore.
My parents always sit around talking about how they got drunk and stuff at like 15 and 16. And like i can't even go out and drive to a place to hang out with friends because they wont let me even if they know where I'm going and what I'm doing. This is getting real old and they are so strict, they are the type of parents that have all of my passwords and check my texts every day. But for some reason they are thinking that I'm going to go out and get arrested somehow. Right now they pull the you aren't old enough to drive and next year i will be, but next year they are going to pull the " you don't have a car, those are our cars" saying. Its just so hard and i can't do anything.
Someone just please help me and tell me how to deal with these type of parents, so i can go out and at least do something with friends.
Thanks

I had the same type of parents when I was your age. Luckily they care, unfortunately there is not much you can do. Fighting and arguing definitely will not do any good. Tell them you want to be able to earn their trust and show them that you can be responsible. If not, we'll at least you are almost 18.

Be glad that you have parents who care and love you. A lot of kids come from really dysfunctional households where nobody cares. It sounds like they have done a good job of raising you.
