Is it really that bad?
Im 18/f and I've been dating my boyfriend for a few months. I still live at home with my parents because Im a Senior in highschool. I have a job, and I've always made good grades.
What I don't understand is my parents. They say I need to learn how to make decisions on my own, and take responsibilty and what not, and I try. They don't let me. For my 18th birthday, my mom let me get a Hotel room with my boyfriend; (my dad didn't know he was staying) and for New Years, BOTH of my parents knew I was stayin at a Hotel with my boyfriend, ONLY. They didn't care.
Well, my boyfriends mom recently asked me if I would be allowed to stay the night; and when I asked my parents, they didn't even hear me out, they said NO immediately. It doesn't make any sense. They will let me stay at a hotel with NO adult, but not at his house or my house WITH adults there. Im 18 years old. I want to be treated like an adult, so I'll be somewhat prepared for when IM on my own. What should I do to make them see it from my point of view? I see it from theres because they don't want me to get knocked up or whatever, but Im not. Im smarter than that. Im waiting for marriage before I have sex, and they know that.

I think they just trust you. Your parents are really weird.
They were probably testing you to live on your own by staying in a hotel with your boyfriend. That's just really odd that they would do that though. I don't understand that either.
Try to tell them that you are responsible for what they tell you. What they probably mean is that you have a lot to do in the real world. Believe me once your out of high school it's hard keeping yourself alive, safe, and responsible for yourself.
You have to deal with money, your car's insurance, your house/apartment, your bills, college, parties, smoking drinking and all that stuff. But most importantly you have to make good choices in your life not bad ones. They might be teaching you a lesson what it's like to live in the real world out there.
But always come to your parents if you need help because they will know what to do in a tough situation. They will always be there for you when you need them. Living on your own is not easy even if you have a good job that pays good. You still have consequences and your life will change after high school.
Hope I helped!
