my dad makes up lame excuses for why i can not go out with my friends after work affterrr i come home and my friends come in the house to meet him and find out whos driving and everything. I'm going to be 17 in like..20 days i dont see why i can not go out til midnight on a summer night! He says its cause "i dont know your friends". okayy well he's going to have to meet them sometime, right? why not now. the sooner the better. The way i see it, there driving me insane not letting me go out with my friends ever and its just going to hurt them in the long run when i get my car and my own place and never come home........i jsut dont kno what to do to let them realize i'm growing up and i dont want to stay home with them all the time....

I think that they're not ready to let go of you yet, but every parent has to at some time. The best thing to do would be to talk to your parents, reason with them, and ask them WHY you can't go out. If they give you some excuse, tell them that you want to be independent and make your own choices. But, don't bug them constantly. Example "Can I go now?" "Have you decided yet?" "Are you sure? POSITIVE?!" Ya know? Don't drive them crazy. But, never, I repeat NEVER go behind their backs.

Hope I helped!
