Hehehehe....I think the problem is universal....or as universal you want to make it.
I remember myself from that age.....and I knew everything that was good for me....I was almost finish educated....my parents...uncles ...aunts....welll they was just old people that was young a long time ago....they could never understand that the youth of today was much more modern...and at least more responsible ... after all we wrote 1960....not the ancient 1920-30's
Well I have learned how wrong I was....what we take as annoyance ....might be a proof of love.....if they did not love you and not cared for you....well then you could do everything you wanted....but I think... then the loss from "love and care" are much bigger then the freedom you get.
Of course you shall be allowed to do thing and show responsibility....that is a education for your adulthood.....but a lot of what happens between child/parents are a combination of events. If the "child" is very "demanding" this might restrict what is allowed because we are always out to move borders and the parents must have something to go on. If you on the other hand is a kind soul sitting inside the whole time then your parents will try to get you out of the house...and even let you do much more because they know you are a careful person.
I shall not say that all parents are fit to be parents and there is a lot of "bad education" going around in many homes.....and I am also sure it is not easy to be teenager with all the demands our "trends" put up.....but if both parts try to discuss and at the same time adjust their demands (both youth and parent) then I think the life would be a bit easier
A big huuuggg and let us take a talk in a ten years time when you yourself has a little one running around
