    I agree. Bratzer, I see the point of your story. I don't think most people here want total anarchy. They just want freedom to make their own choices and let the concequences play themselves out. Let us stay up a bit late. If we do, we'll have to study more to keep up in school. It evens out. However, my parents do one thing that pisses me off. Now that I'm a teenager, they automatically assume I'm a rebel. So, they have to stop the rebellion, right? Heaven forbid I get my way for once. They now go out of their way to make sure I don't do things. I couldn't go to a computer convention without my dad. Why? He wanted an adult there. There was one. He wanted a parent. There was one there, near the room I'd probably stay at. He wanted to know the parent. I said I could give him contact info, and they'd be glad to talk to him. Then he said he had to know them for a while. Yet, I'd trust an 18 year old friend over my dad's friend I don't know (I rather them have attatchment to me rather than get yelled at by my dad). They do this all the time. They won't let me stay up late. Why? Nothing to do. I say I'll be on the computer. They tell me I'm on enough. I tell them I'll go on less during the day. They then go to their usual argument, "we said so". All they do is say "we said so", and it doesn't matter what happens. They can't stand the fact I'm a good arguer, and argue every one of their points againist them. Yet, they can't give in, so instead they don't even tell me WHY I can't do something usually, because they don't want me to know I beat them in an argument. It's pathetic. I just wish my parents would give me some freedom. Let me stay online and stay up late, let me go places. I'm not asking to join a damn gang, just have a little fun. Well, that's my rant I'm sticking to it.

    I am not a teenager anymore. I felt the same way you all do when you cant do what it is you feel you have earned the right to do. But just remember when you dont think your parents understand, they were your age once to and they had the same thoughts and feelings as you all do. Dont believe me "ask them". I used to think when my grandfather would tell me something that he was just a crazy a$$ old man. Tell you one thing I am 30 now and "everything" I mean everything he ever told me was 100% true. They are keeping you from doing certian things for a reason, just take it one day at a time and listen, you will be a better person in the long run if you listen and learn from someone who has been there. Or dont and reap what you sow.

    I sometimes feel the same way, but you can't deny that our parents have been teenagers themselves and they do have more experience in life than us. I see why you get mad; I do too, but most of the anger is just the hormones speaking.

    I don't really agree with hormones speaking for teenages..What I actually would consider it is more of what every human really wants. " Their own way". Most people would agree that they would rather have alot of things their way, than another way. Parents setting rules and saying you can't do something seems unfair, because you wanted something your way. I, myself, feel this need. The sad part is..there will always be rules and always be someone telling you that you can't have a choice in the matter. And yes..Sometimes I do feel the same way. ._.;

    You're right, some parents are too controlling. The thing is, hormones make you freak alot more than you need too. You take everything alot worse than you have too.

    I understand you want things your own way, but that way might not be the best all the time. Parents are just helping, it just doesn't look that way, since the hormones tell you to move away from your parents instead of listening to them.

    By the way, I'm 15 I get what this is all about. I get mad myself. However, if you calm down and think things through, the thing you're getting mad about probably isn't worth getting mad about at all.

    I agree some things are worth getting mad about, but then it's better to sit down and talk to your parents about it instead of starting to complain. That'll just make them go: "Oh darlin', he's just being a teenager." and start laughing. And that really ticks me off...
