You have to prove you are responsible. Do things that need to be done before they ask you, or at least do something before they ask you for the 100th time. Make sure you never give them an attitude and never complain about not being aloud to go out. If you do this and there is still no result, sit down with them and very maturly talk to them about some freedom. They will respect you for approaching them nicely. If you complain or aggitate them, they will never give in. Act mature! Don't be too quick to grow up, but I can understand you want to be able to go out! So good luck!

Hey im 14 and yea my parents were the same! I never thought they would stop being well...parents! They were a PAIN! But i learned that if you sit down with them tell them where your going what your doing and who you will be with you will have better chances of getting to go out! It is also always nice to check in. Like if you wanted to stay out longer dont call them from your friends house check in and talk to them for awile. Your parents just want you to not grow up they miss having you as there baby.Your parents want to stay in touch with you so try not to hide stuff just come out and say it , it will help you in the long run! But you have to have experances on your own and explain this to them in a respectful way. Well good luck!

parents are just protecting you. you are pretty young, like me.. so that's the way parents are. my parents usually let me do stuff when they know who my friends are and who their parents are, things like that. make sure you have their trust and they should let you do most of what you want. yea, it is hard now, but eventually you'll be old enough to do the things you wanna do.

you need to talk to your parents. try and compromise with them, eg, if you want to go to a party and they want you back home by 9, then ask them if you can stay out til 10 if they pick you up. get them to talk to your friends parents about what they let their children do so that they can see if they really are treating you too young. try and see it your parents way too though, they obviously care about you a lot and want you to be safe. good luck. :)

KaRmEL answered Tuesday June 1 2004, 12:19 am:
first of all... what kind of "stuff" do you want to do? if its movies or going to the mall i can't understand why you are upset but if it is going to a big party with older kids then thats something you should wait a while for. Your parents have to protect you and as long as you are 13-14 you can't go out doing whatever you want. You need limits. talk to them if its simple stuff like mall with friends and give them a reason to trust you.

talk to your parents tell them who you are with what you're doing and where your at and when you'll be home..get it? just go ahead and tell them what you would like to do..but don't be like 'this is what i'm going to do' be like 'do you think it's alright if i..' it saves a lot of chaos..try it out..and smile be nice in the tone you ask.. :o)

i_will_help answered Monday May 31 2004, 8:50 pm:
yeah, you are a teenager, so if you want them to know that you are NOT a child anymore, just act more mature and responsible, they will notice and treat you better.Remember to respect your parents, taht way they will know that you've grown up, i mean im 13, and i respect my parent, do what they tell me to do (and i get frustrated) but its worth it, by doing that they know im responsible and they will let me go out with my boyfriend and everything!! :)

First of all you have to respect your parents. They know whats best for you. and also ... you are a child. you can't make it on your own and you need your parents to give you limits or else you will find yourself in trouble. talk to them and wait for them to realize that you are mature enough to party once in a while!!!!

Aw sweetie i know how you feel i`m 15 years old now and i tured 15 in February.. my parents think i`m a little kid and i can`t really do anything. i can only ride in the car with my boyfriend i have been dating for a year and 5 months. i hate it so bad because my dad dont let me do nething and my mom doesn`t really mind what i do. start with the little stuff and then move up to the big stuff. tell them you are getting older and you feel as if you should be able to do a little more.

GC_rox_my_sox answered Monday May 31 2004, 8:18 pm:
I had the same problem until a few months ago. I'm 14 now, and in a few months, my parents went from treating me like a baby to letting me do pretty much whatever I wanted. The best way: Guilt. Say to them "Mom, Dad, my friends invite me to sleepover/go to the movies/go to the mall all the time. I always have to tell them no, and they think I don't want to be friends with them." It might work, because your parents don't want you to lose all of your friends.

Wow! Almost 14! You'r just DAYS from collecting social security!

Sad fact: you still are a child. I know you want to think you're growing up, and you are, but you aren't GROWN up yet. The best way to show your parents that your are maturing is to do what they say for now. Show them that you are a responsble by respecting their authority. Trust me, if you're a good kid for 6 months you'll see them giving you all kinds privages. Probably more than you want.

You know your parent's care, they're just trying to be protective of their child. But if you want them to trust you, be responisible. Let them know exactly what you're doing and call and check in. Don't let them have to call and see where you are, do it yourself. Be honest with them. Then when you're old they will believe you and trust you to do the things you want and be responsibile. It should work... TRUST is key into winning the hearts of parent's.

Well, what exactly do you mean by "stuff". I think every parents is kidna the same way when we are that age, but don't worry don't rush growing up. You are only that age once and don't ruin it by doing other things. Talk to them and tell them how you feel exactly and try telling them where you go and what you will be doing so they will trust you.
