my parents at times are overprotective too...ive gotten used to it tho..i just learned to not mention everything that might get them mad (i wait a day or ao if i need to tell them)..it gets frusterating at times but just go with the flow and im sure you'll live thru it :)

Just listen to them. You'll regret it if you don't.

They only love you just listen to them it's ok to have a different opinion but later in life you'll understand what they mean.

Be very glad u have overprotective parents. In this crazy world we live in all parents should be that way. They are just concerned and they love u. Be thankful bc there are kids out there that have parents that don't care.

Prove to them that you can be responsible (doing chores, volunteering, following their rules) and then sit them down to have a calm, mature conversation about why you should be able to have more freedom.

Same thing with me! I always ask them why and the same answer is always: we are looking out for you and we want you to be safe. But I learned it was at some points true! So do the things you want but when u can't just except it that's what I'm trying to do(:

Acually most parents do this because they love you and don't want u 2 make the same mistake they did so just prove 2 them you're responsible

Depends. How old are you? Are you able to talk things with parents and work something out for both that would work? Have you sat down with them. Depending on age you be able to do more

You'll regret it one day if you don't listen to them. But you won't anyways, and you will regret it.

Parents get overprotective usually because they remember being a kid. But one thing they do is forget what it feels like to be a kid. Try to listen to them. They are looking out for your best interest and I understand kids here that alot but it is true. Maybe if you feel you are being treated unfairly or you feel you deserve more responsibility. Sit down and talk to them. It is all about approach. Maybe try to work out a easy medium for the both of you to agree with. Try to show them you are mature by not freaking out if they make you feel like they are being unfair. Be open it's alot easier.
