How do I deal with strict parents?

Dealing with strict and controlling parents can be tough, but there are a lot of ways to prove that you're responsible and mature. For example, set an alarm to get yourself up and ready for school on time, complete your assignments and do your best to get good grades, and do your chores without complaining.

If you're concerned that they're being too strict, try to have a calm conversation with them. Ask them about the rules they set and let them explain their reasoning so you have a better understanding. If you can, try to come up with a compromise where you're all happy. For example, you could ask to stay out a little past your curfew if you promise to get chores or homework finished before you leave.

If you're dealing with strict parents, ask them if there are some ways that you can prove that you are responsible and capable so you can have more freedom. If you have taken on more responsibilities at school or with extracurriculars, follow through with them to demonstrate that you are capable of handling additional freedom. Then, you can use it as evidence that you're responsible and they don't need to be as strict with you.
