Eh, then maybe I'll resort to that. I wont like it though, but whatever works. It's definitely not going to be the smartest decision I have ever made, but hey, you only live once.

Believe me you feel stupid after you do it, but the feel-goodness out of it is even better. Trust me dude, been there.
Breaking rules and defying your parents doesn't show maturity. If you want the to be trusted- and trust is what they need from you -to be able to go and hang with your friends, you need to show them that you are responsible and can make good decisions. Becoming a hell-child and getting your way by becoming an impossible little demon is just not the rational way of handling the situation-and with weak parents- it may work (as the others have posted)...but that doesn't sound like the kind of relationship you'd like to create with your family. [Which is good.]
Sit down with them. If you all eat dinner together, do it then. If not, make some sort of way for them to sit and listen to you. Write down your concerns/wants and tell them why you deserve to do these things. Tell them why they can trust you to have time with your friends. Come to some sort of agreement- even if it's not entirely what either of you want- meet in the middle somewhere.
There are going to be far more many things in the future that you are going to want your parents around for- and blowing rep on something like this (like the others suggested) is not too smart.
Hang in there.

Yeah, don't listen to those who say break rules. If you do that, it will just make it worse on you. If you start loosing your parents trust, they will probably never trust you when you are old enough.
I would still rather to just let it go. I'm not worried about it anymore. I came the the conclusion last night that there really isnt much more I can do to change it. I'll just wait another year or two and see how it goes. I wont be home much this summer anyways, gonna hopefull get a job with my uncle and other things.

Ryan, the woman told you you shouldn't be out at the mall with some girl. Something has to change. If nothing else does, GET RELATIONSHIP FREEDOM.

Well thats good to hear. Also to add to what i said about not listening to those who say break the rules, if you do, you know then you will be grounded from your tv and computer and you don't wanna loose that either.

Sky, losing something to gain something even better is a good thing. I cant tell you how many times Ive been grounded, but Im a good kid. I get good grades stay out of trouble and I dont have to act like a maniac anymore, becuase of this:
One day my mother and father made a comment about how im just the same as every other teenager, and this greatly offended me. So yano what? I gave them "just ever other teenager" and became unruly. And in the end I asked them whta they would rather have, Unruly Rebel teen or the me that I used to be, and they said the old me. But we came to a compromise about what Im allowed to do and what Im not. All im sayin is one time you get in trouble wont be bad, Itll make them want the old you back and if yout alk it out with them, Im sure itll be alright.
Although, each parent is differnet. Im speaking on experiance.

I know you say you've talked to your parents before, but next time you talk to them, just say somethin like "Alright look. I'm a good student. I don't do drugs, I don't get in trouble, I do all my chores, blah blah blah. You have literally NO REASON to keep me inside. I do everything you've ever told me to do. I think I deserve some freedom. What you guys are doing isn't fair. It's like I'm not even being rewarded for everything I do."
And then if you want, you can kinda add on to that by saying "You're treating me as if some kind of bad kid. If I'm going to be treated like one, then maybe I should start REALLY acting like one."
From what it sounds like, you're being punished for a crime you didn't commit. I'm 15 as well, so what I'm saying obviously won't be the most mature thing to say, but really, if you're going to be treated like a criminal, you might as well act like one so you can have some fun.
And also, that whole "Well we're giving you a roof over your head and food on the table" thing is bullshit. You aren't a fucking dog. You are an actual human being. You need more than just shelter and food. You need FREEDOM.
Just try to come to some kind of a compromise with them. I suggest you come to them first just sensibly and logically, and just say what you have to say in an organized and proffesional manner. If they still give you any bullshit, then just retort to the whole "well if I'm going to be treated like a criminal, then I might as well act like one."
Just try to come off as the nice guy first, and if they won't take nice, then start being rebellious. You're only 15 once. Sure, maybe things will get better when your older, but do you really wanna look back on your life when your like 70, thinkin "Well, I might've wasted my childhood, but at least things got better after I was done being a kid." Live like a fucking kid while you still can, don't be all locked up in your room all day.
Once again, I'm only 15 too, so what I've said might not be the best thing to do. But whatever. You can take my advice or leave it.

Well at least you can mathdebate to pron on your computer. My mother couldn't even give me a moment's privacy without having somebody else check up on me. IE it could be a lot worse. But seriously. Scare the shit outta your parents with some statistics you find on the internet. Provide sources. If your parents are hit with something like, "80% of all adults who were kept from socializing end up commiting a felony by age 25." (This is not a real quote) But still, if you were to find something like that I'm sure they would change their minds (if only a little). Then again this will probably only freak them out....
Rebel, go out with friends till about 10:00. If they can't handle it then tough. They'll just have to learn to cope. Healthy teenagers need to be around people. It's common knowledge.
