Answer #1

Prove to him you can be responsible - he’s doing his job: looking after your best interests, loving, and caring - many, many, have parents that don’t - be Thankful.

Answer #2

We have similar problems except its both my parents all you have to do is talk to them and let let them know you’re growing up and have to figure out how the real world works and in order for you to do that you have to go out. And tell them by the time I turn 18 I will be gone so if you let me out now I won’t be feeling so trapped!!!:-)…

Answer #4

well im 17 years old and I have the same kind of father. you have to show that you are mature. if hes not letting you do things you have to prove to him that you can be mature to grow up. you are only 15 so dont grow up to fast. but just be like dad im not a little girl anymore and I need to grow and be able to do things to learn from my mistakes and grow as a person

Answer #5

Its a crazy world today - and that’s completely normal, it just goes to show how much he cares about you. There are so many girls that get raped while out walking the streets and stuff. Its a scary thought so hes doing whats best to protect you. If you want to be able to do more things then always travel in groups if you are going somewhere so it gives him security. Also don’t get mad if hes like “call me when you get there” because he has all the reasons in the world. You need to look at things from his perspective as the father of a teenage girl - you may not see things his way now but you will when you get older.
