everytime i talk to them they roll their eyes

I can't really sympathize too well, as my parents are really pretty cool. But it seems to me that you should be talking to them about these issues. Tell them how you feel, and if they never listen to you anyway, try a different approach, like writing a persuasive essay. If you can outline your points in an intelligent and mature manner, I think you'll be surprised how understanding your parents can be.

On the other hand, though, maybe my parents are just exceptionally cool. The only thing they bug me about is why I don't have a girlfriend.

you think you have it bad? my parents check EVERY site I go to, and "used to" read my emails (i say "used to" because I frankly dont trust them), they block religious webistes... all this an I am a good kid.

then they ask me why do I want to leave the house.....

I agree with you both. Parents just want to be involved with their kids but when does it become overbearing and crosses the line? My mom is a single parent of my brother and I but he's grown and I have a year and a half before I leave and it frustrates me how differently she has always treated the both of us. Even though he's three years older than me he has always had more freedom than I have and it's driving me crazy. She watches over my shoulder while I'm on the computer, watches me catch the bus like I am a child and so on. I want to find me and what I want to be but I can't. I want to get two more piercings and a tattoo but she's in the way. She wont let me express my individuality.

Okay that's about it.

My parents don't care what I do on the computer but they really don't let me have a life. They aren't worried about what I might do but about other people. I can't even walk to my friends house alone and I'm not allowed to have a boyfriend. Sometimes I feel like I'm trapped in their world.

My parents thankfully have no control over my computer, although instead on knowing my e-mail password. (So I have another e-mail account they do not know of). I think parents fear for their kids, and then go overboard on the "spying." I wnat my mom to trust me, and I want to be able to talk to her honestly. As it stand, she usually trusts me, but I can't talk to her honestly. I wish I could tell her about the things I feel important; my sexuality, the prevaliance of drugs and alchol, the fact that many of my friends are sexually active, the fact that I am going to get piercings and tattoos when I am 18, becasue I feel incomplete without them. Parents see what they want to see, and hear what they want to hear, and then get concerned that they don;t know their kids well enough and push their authority.
