Your parents are just protected, nothing more nothing less. should be happy that your mom cared for you. and since you're a girl, they should be protected. Your friend is just being a stupid a$$ for not talking to you. Tell him to get over it.

Hey..I KNOW it's their house..and i KNOW it's their rules...and i DO follow them (most of the time).

I'm just sad that my friends don't understand.... :(

It's not your mom it your friends. Parents always do things thier kids don't like...for the most part it's out of love or concern. That's why it's so hard to hate them. If you've got controlling parents, then inform your friends. Say something like"I've got controlling parents". If your frineds can't handle that then your friends aren't so great. If it means that much to you that your friends don't get it. Then leave your parents. Parents will always let kids down, but in the long run, they never let you down...gee that's getting pretty profound, I better stop.

Unless you tell us a few more details about what you did, it will be impossible for anyone to make an accurate judgement concerning the reasonableness of your parents' decision.

I have very controlling non-Asian parents; see, it's not just you guys who have those kind of parent problems.

WOW :Q

Your in college and this is happening to you :Q

I guess I don't really know were your coming from since I'm the only son in a family of 6 children (asian family at that).

I'm first generation so when I look back at things I'm pretty suprised that my sisters & I had such a free hand at doing anything we wanted as long as we told our parents what we are doing or were we are going.

Can't offer any advice but good luck with that.

Cheers,
Aquaman

my best friend is 24 and her mom is this way because her mom is from turkey (this means old school) so she doesn't understand.
my best friend simply respects her mother way too much to fight about it all the time so she just respects her moms rule that she can only go out one night a week during school (shes in university). like, she goes out in the day to school and stuff but as for the night only once.

"...just saying that it's bad that my friends dno't understand..."

Based on what you said, I concur with eviltoon. Your friends sound like the problem.

I know you won't take these other clown's advice and move out, because your parents are footing the bill for school. Asian parents sound pretty smart to me. American parents are chumps in comparison. They let their kids dick around all through school, all the while paying for everything, then they're amazed when Johnny's flippin' burgers after graduating. Oh well, keeps the economy rolling I guess...
