Why do parents act this way?

Why do parents always find a way to make your life impossible,especially if your a teen (girl)?like I dont get it.what comes out of it when they do such a thing? Do they frieken care about our emotions and what we go thru???no they dont.not especailly if your parents are strict,unfair,overprotective,and mean by the answers they give you(I can go on forever with words!).now explain to me what this means to you: I dont like to say hi or smile at people (who are boys from school) at all when its like being in a car and you see them or just in a store.I dont do it at all because my parents will suspect and ask a billion questions of "whose that?","u know him?",etc.its mostly my mom and now my dad is catching up on her ways too.(ugh)
So, one day I was at the second floor porch of my grammas house and I was waiting to get picked up by my dad to go back home.this boy I know from school (who I consider an aquaintance),was on a bike going down the street and I said "ill corey"( as to say "hi" afterwards).and my dad was about to get out of the car.but he didnt he me say it because my gramma was talking at the same time I said that to the boy.the boy I guess didnt here me at that moment.so I ignored him afterwards.I went down to get in the car when my dad was talking to my gramma and as we both were going to get in,the boy went by me and stopped(I didnt expect it)and asked me"are you going to be outside today?"and I said "no...not really."and I got scared because I knew my dad was going to think wrong.we were in the car ready to go and he got all 2faced wit me.he said" hmmm.if your mother was here she would've slapped you for that.u better watch it."[but dont think wrong my parents dont hit me ...it was his way of getting me scarred!]
I was in shock because there was no need for that comment first of all and I felt mad.I thought he heard something else come out the boys mouth.but he never told my mother(I think not).ever since then, he always throws at me a little hint of sarcasticness and says you better watch it with boys.and everytime I went to my grammas house he'd tell my gramma that some boy is after me and I better watch myself because he'll be going around the street watchin me.I got so mad that I started to cry asking myself questions I can never answer.now tell me ,,
Why are my parents acting like this with me?is it because im a teen???
Or because they want me to not talk to boys or date them???
Please answer my question...I need 2 no now!?!?!?!!!

Its becoz your a teen, I know how you feeel, I'm 18 and my parents are still like that, they would probably kill me if they knew half the things they knew about me, It's hard to understand parents sometimes, from wht you've said it seems you and your parents don't see eye to eye on a lot of things, if you want to tlk o someone just funmail me ok

Like all of us parents are not perfect - they do the best they can, looking after your best interests, Loving you, and CARING - many, many, many don't CARE - Be Thankful.

First, please stop using ALL CAPS in your posts. It not only makes it difficult to read but therefore generates fewer responses to your questions.

 
It is your parents' responsibility, by nature and by law, to raise you in the best way that they can. Their own upbringing helps determine the manner in which they raise you. It may be that you have inherited parents who are a little more restrictive or protective than others, but that's just the luck of the draw.

Just be positive. In a few more years you will be on your own and be free to do as you wish. For now, however, simply respect your parents and their wishes.

Teens and adults (parents) have different values and goals. If you want to gain more space and responsibility, you are going to have to communicate (calmly) with your parents. You have to demonstrate to them your respect and your ability to be responsible.

If they start letting your leash get a little longer, then, at all costs, you have to fulfill the obligations that come with that lengthening of the leash.

Be honest and truthful with your parents and be accommodating to them. As time continues you will see them granting you more liberties.
