It's not that they don't trust you, it's that they're afraid of the things they don't know about where you are or who you're with. Introduce any new friends to your parents and ask to have friends over for things like movie-nights in. If your parents are comfortable with what they see in their home they may be more willing to let you go out with them. You also need to calmly tell them how feel and tell them what you think you should be allowed to do and ask if they can compremise anything.

They do it because they care about you. They don't want you to get hurt and do things you shouldn't be doing.
As you get older, you'll notice them getting more lax.
For now, to show you are a maturing young adult, don't moan about it! Accept their rules and they will soon see you are willing to listen and do what it takes.
As I've said.. it won't always be like this. Just carry on being trustworthy. :) [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
