I agree with everyone else, just try to be a good kid and do as your parents say because by the time your an adult and have to deal with adult responsibilities your gonna miss being a kid and your going to regret the fact that your trying to grow up too fast. I know I did. (when I turned 18)

One you shouldn't be going to parties at 14. Nothing good comes of going to parties and I don't blame your parents for not letting you go out if that is where you are wanting to go. Two again your 14 that isn't almost an adult, that is barely a teenager. When you are 16 you can start going out with boys and doing all those things but still your parents will keep a close eye on you. Its called parenting for a reason. Maybe try talking to your parents about being able to go to peoples houses if their parents are home or having your friends come over when they are home. I've seen way too many 13-15 year old girls coming on this forum freaking out about pregnancy. Be a good kid and dont grow up too fast you'll be old before you know it. At 14 I used to sneak out go to parties, drink, lie. Do all the things that parents feared. Looking back it was absolutely retarded and not even a little "cool". When I used to go to parties when I was 18-19 I would see 14 year old girls and we would honestly think they didn't belong there and should go home. Guys may want you there but its only because your naive and young and they think they can have sex with you.

I have two daughters. They aren't teenagers yet but when they are I am going to have certain rules and guidelines they must live by. Once they can show me that they are responsible and have my respect, I will give them more freedoms. You're only 14 years old. One day your parents won't be around to tell you NO sometimes.

They do it because they love you, they worry about you, they want what is best for you. It's not so they can control your every move or be mean to you. They don't want to see you get hurt, kidnapped, murdered, raped, lost. They want you to be safe. Bad things happen to very good people all the time.

Cut them some slack and just be a good kid. By the time you're 16 I'm sure you'll be able to go out more and have friends over. You won't be young forever. I know none of this probably makes you happy to hear but it's the truth. My mom died when I was 19 and pregnant. I don't have her to care about me anymore. Honor your parents and do as they ask. Everything else will fall into place.

I completely understand where u are coming from as i felt the same way at that age however after growing up. I understand. You dont want to end up one of these teenagers pregnant at 15. When my dd grows up and at the age of 15 asks me for some freedom there will be strict limits. I will go to all lengths to protect her and thats what im sure your parents are doing for you. You will understand when you are a parent.

I don't think it has to do with age or how many weeks pregnant you are...if you are still under your parents roof and support, then they can tell you what you will and will not do.  If you want them to let go, then maybe you need to show them you can take care of yourself in a responsible way and then they will have no right to tell you what you can and cannot do.

Perhaps you should open up a mature line of communication with them and ask them for more freedom.  

I am guessing though that they are loving parents trying to help you make good choices.
