Answer #1

I agree, it is useless to resist. That will make them come down harder.

Just keep on keeping on.

Answer #2

just go with the flow dont worry my parents are the same and when your 18 they cant treat you the same no matter what

Answer #3

go with the flow… you only have 2 years left>>

Answer #4

yeah really that’s not that bad.. a lot of parents are like that, mine were. I’m almost 18 and my mom has lightened up A LOT. so just give it some time, it will get better. If not, then you can deal with it then.

Answer #5

you are still only 16 & thats still quite young, enjoy being 16 & with time your parents will let you go out to a few parties here & there but first you need to earn their trust!

you have so many years ahead of you for parties etc but you are only young & able to spend as much time with your family Now so just relax & enjoy!

Answer #6

You should sit down with your parents and let them know how you feel. Simply tell them that you would like a little bit more freedom now that you’re a young adult. Although, you should be careful not to sound as though you’re moaning or being rude. You could let them know that you can be trusted to act responsibly now that you’ll have more responsibilities. If your parents feel as though they can’t trust in you, try telling them you’re willing to prove to them that you can be trusted.
