Holy Hand Grenade

Im 16 years old in 2 weeks, and my cerfew is 8: 30-9. mostly 8: 30.
how the hell can i get my cerfuw extended! its terrible! i just got back on the computer after a fight with my parents about it. My mom says i never appreciate all she does for me, when i say thank you, get good grades, and do all my chores without asking. I dont even go out anymore, i havent been to a friends house in 2 weeks. my dad just follows my mom. I am responsible, and dont even go out on weekdays, just friday really. Since i am not allowed to on sunday and saturday im not allowed either. My mom says i always just keep asking for more and never appreciate what she gives me, except i always say thank you and she acts like she is the greatest person ever for letting me out until a 4 year olds bedtime. Any ideas how i can get her to extend it? Its hard when i have to leave at 8: 30 and all my friends are leaving at 11:00. I tried talking to her at least 20 times. nothing. Help? |

You just have to sit her down and tell her that you're not a little kid anymore, and that if you're going to be responsible enough to drive, you should at least be able to stay out til midnight.
I always find a new found appreciation for my parents after these types of threads

I go to bed past 2: 30, but im saying i have to be home by 8: 30. in my room.
and i do respect them, i get good grades all that stuff. it said in my original post. i told them ( well my mom, because my dads opinion means ntohing in my house >.<) that about the driving, but my mom says age doesnt change anything. Im not even allowed to get a job. So, my mom is pretty much just the msot overprotective person on the face of the earth. OMGOMGILHER |

Sounds like your parents are over protective.
Sorry, dude, I don't think any of us can't work this out for you. Some advice, though, is to just sit down and have a talk with your parents, but don't escalate it into a fight or an argument. Keep it as a discussion. You might wear them down by constantly begging and whining and arguing, but in the long run that's damaging to your relationship. Also, saying thank you isn't enough. It's more about how you say it. Think about that. |

If you talk to them already and they aren't listening to you talk to another older family member about it and maybe they can put in a good word for you. The other option you have is wait until you go to college and live in a dorm so you have nobody holding you back.

Well.
my family is really divided. My parents never talk to either side of grandparents, and they just dont get along i guess. ill never understand it. Im also the oldest sibling in the family. Probably a big part of why im so protected, it seems. I guess ill try and ask them again some other time. i am usually not the one who starts the fight, my mom takes me asking as an insult to her parenting. i reaaaly cant wait for college.
