I have no freedom. I am never allowed to go over to friends houses, unless I've known that friend for a really long time and my mom knows their parents real good. They never let me go to birthday parties and they refuse to let me even go near a water park even in the day time because they are soooo "dangerous." I have to read an hour a day too. Please don't tell me to talk to them calmly about it. I already tried, but my mom is so mean and hurtful. What can I do?

No offense toward your mom, but that is RIDICULOUS! It's not your fault that you met your friends when you did. Unless they have some reason not to trust you, or your friends, then they need to chill. Make some kind of deal about checking in or something, if that doesn't work, have another adult talk to them. Until you're 18 [or 16 with a driver's license; a license they CAN take away] you can't do too much.

Well, it may be because of your age. Your parents may be overprotective, not dictative. However, never letting you go to birthday parties or waterparks does sound pretty extreme. As for reading an hour a day... It's not so bad, and its good for you. Hmm... I'm not sure how to answer this, because I don't know the whole story, and I don't know your age... So I'll answer as best as I can.
(I wanna tell you what I would do... but it may not be responsible... Anyway here it goes) If I was in that situation, I would go to waterparks and birtday parties anyway. But PLEASE don't do that. I would do that because I'm 17, and I know how to protect myself.
This would be more responsible. You HAVE to talk to your parents. Your parent's may not want you to go to friends' houses becaus they don't want you to have bad influences (drug use, drinking, smoking, stealing, messing with property, etc.)
Your parents may also think that waterparks are too dangerous. Tell them that riding in a car with them is also dangerous. Tell them that they can't be with you forever and eventually, they will have to let walk on your own two feet. You will also have to prove to them that you are responsible enough to do all those things. It might take a little time, but eventually, you will gain the independence you desire. Hope I helped, and good luck!
