Aw dont worry about it! My dad does it all the time!! Seriously dont take it as him being mean. He wants to protect you because he loves you so much and doesnt want anything bad to happen to you! Just appriciate that you have a dad who cares a lot about you. ♥

Your dad is over protective because he loves you. Hes going to let you go places later on...you just have to be matture and let him notice you are so then he could trust you. Hope I helped bu bi now .. SeLmA 0x`

Hey i think you should talk to him. I think hes just been concerned about you because he cares there is nothing wrong with it but it can get a bit annoying. Just say that you greatful that you care so much but im getting older and i need my own friends and my own space to do stop alone.

Most parents are overprotective, so we all know how you feel. Just remember, no matter how stupid it seems, that the only reason your dad is being so harsh is because he loves you.
What can you do about your dad being so overprotective?
Of course, a big sit down and talk with him will help. Explain to him how you feel...calmly. Yes, calmly. Shouting or getting angry will just make things worse, trust me. Of course, don't think that a simple talk will completely change your dad's mind. That's probably not likely to happen.
What you need to do now is show him you are mature. Help out around the house, etc. Also, you can strike up deals with him. For example: If he lets you go out to the movies with your friends, you'll be home by 6 PM. Things like that. And as time goes on he'll see you are mature and he'll be more lenient with you.
Another thing you could try is asking him to get you a cell phone. That way, he could know where you are and you'll always be just a phone call away. Sure, it might be annoying to have your dad always calling you and you calling him, but don't you think it's better than him following you every where and not letting you go out?
Remember, NEVER (Maybe one or two times is okay...) disobey him or do things behind his back. This is because it only makes things worse. It'll delay your freedom even more and it'll lose the little trust your dad had in you. Your dad loves you, don't disappoint him. Good luck!
