bed times
my dad insists that i be in bed by 10:30 on school nights. im 16 and i think this is rediculous. of course i can never fall asleep at 10:30 because thats too early so i normally just watch tv until 1:30 when i can fall asleep. he doesn't know this. he thinks i just go to bed and occasionally when he opens my door and i have the tv on he yells at me. i feel like a little kid. how can i convince him to let me stay up. it's not like i'd go to bed at 1:30 on a school night but he won't even let me stay up until 11 or 11:30. he over egsagerates about everything. if its 10:35 he'll complain because "it's 11 o'clock already and you're not in bed" there's a half an hour difference there buddy. please help me convince him because this is just rediculous.

honestly i don't think it's a big deal. he jsut cares and wants whats best for you. you'd probably feel even better if you did go to bed at 10:30. i'm 14 and i go to bed at 9 and i understand. and if you stay up til 1:30 watching tv whats the big deal?

Parents just care, sometimes too much. If you tell him, Dad I love you, but I can't got to sleep at 10:30 and I don't want to fight about this with you can we make a compromise on a bedtime schedual? If he says no then tell him how you feel.Then say dad not to hurt you, but I really just want to know why you want me in bed at this time. If he really cares, which he does, I'm sure he can bend things a little bit for you.
