parentssss.....
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....

Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
You both have valid points, so you have to compromise. Maybe he can meet your friends and they can start hanging at your place for a little bit before you go out, like once a week. Then he'll get to know them. Maybe midnight really is too late to stay out, but if he knows exactly what you are doing then once a week it'll be ok. He just wants to protect you, he has this vision of you all cracked out and knocked up and doesn't want that to happen, he wants to be the best parent he can be. You have to calmly tell him your concerns and get him to trust you.

listen to your dad, this sounds lame but they are always right. they were 16 once too.

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!
