Legally, yes until you're the age of 18. But then, they shouldn't have ALL the control over you. If they have to tell you when you could go to sleep, take a shower, when to breathe/walk/talk/etc. It's just plain sad. If I were you, take control of your life, make your own decisions, take risks. One thing parents want to control your decisions is because they're afraid you'll screw up. Well it's life, take on your own responsibility. They'll give up sooner or later if you keep taking charge of yourself. It feels great when you are in control of yourself. It's a smell of freedom. Just make sure you know what you're doing.

No parents do not have the right to control everything in your life. It pisses me off when my parents talk to me like no one else matters, and that what they say is always correct, and there is no such thing as a second opinion. Especially when it comes to religion, parents cannot control what you belive no matter how hard they try. I think that if parents backed off a little bit, then we would be better people.

All? Legally, Yes. Do they no? Be grateful that you have parents, I know I am. Do you know how many orphans (sp?) there are out there? How many homeless kids I see in the Soup Kitchen? Someone said it here before, Grow up.

Only if you let them. no one can really control your beliefs. they are in your mind. your actions maybe when your a kid, but even thats debatable.

You people amaze me. Your parents have sacrificed most of their lives for you, and you complain that they try to raise you in the best way possible. Grow up.

hmm put it this way whoever you are and what ever religon your folks want you to practice it's pointless to find their God you need to find God or whatever for yourself whatever way connects you in your mind to the all mighty.

In case no one has noticed yet: I'm all about middle ground. Parents have a right to say no. But we have a right to argue with that, especially if we think we're in the right. Compromise is the word of the day, folks.

It's pointless for people to push their oppinon or lifestyle on someone else. Most of the time all their pushing just pushes them away further then when you first started nagging them.

I find that if I throughly discuss things with my parents, they usually see my point and let me do what it was I wanted to do. It all depends, really.

Absolutely not. As I read somewhere once "You can offer me a map, but in the end you need to not back-seat drive or take over to make sure I stay on the 'right road'. I need to do the driving."
I really loved that, because that's basically what parents should do. Offer advice, occasional punishment for when you do something pretty bad and then explain how they feel about issues and why. But otherwise, BACK OFF.
My mother recently (about three weeks ago) told me that I had to stop being friends with a lot of my EXTREMELY close buds because they were Middle Eastern. She SAID that was the reason. She told me "An Arab will NEVER step foot inside my house and you will NEVER be involved with one."
HELLO! My friends are AMERICAN!! And when I told her she was being racsist, she looked my square in the eye and said without so much as a trace of sarcasm or joking "You're right. And damn proud of it too."
Yeah, see, that there, is an example where my parents have NO RIGHT on my life. Not for something so outrageous as that. I told her I would never stop being friends with them, and she told me I had to choose: be a part of the family or stay friends with them.
She never actually kicked me out or anything, but I think someday she just might.
That's a place where it is okay to disobey them, if you really, really feel that they are good friends, I'd go for it, but you should still honor them for who them being your parents. If you so choose to leave, you can do what you darn well please, but while you live under their roof, they have the right to control all of your decisions.
Just because nobody understands you, that doesn't mean you're artistic.

the word 'no' springs to mind. why the hell should our parents dictate our lives? if you wanna do somthing, you do it! if it goes wrong then hey, youve learnt from your mistakes, ive been through way more then my parents have and more often then not i know what i wanna do, and there desicion doesnt sway me. this may also have somthing to do with my hatred against athourity lolz
