Strict parents?

Me

Did/do you have strict parents?

Gotta rant...

First off, I love my parents and I'm very grateful for all they have done for me.

However, they are absolutely horrible when it comes to letting me grow up.

I am 17, have a job, and have 36 credit hours told my Associates degree completed from the local community college thanks to dual credit. I purchased a laptop entirely from my own earned money to do homework on last year and so my parents decided to have me put my laptop, cell phone, and Kindle in their room at 10pm every night so that I don't stay up on them. I'm not allowed to do homework past 10pm either. No mater when the due date. (even if it's due first thing the next morning and I got a crappy group who dumped the entire project on me last min.. yes this happened and my dad took my laptop away because I was sill working at 11:30pm.) I am not allowed to lay my head on my boyfriend's shoulder or even go to the movies with him alone because of 'dark theaters with close seats'. Infact, I'm not allowed to go out of the house for a date or to hang out with anyone unless it's a 'family outing' or school. I couldn't even go help out my best friend with a garage sale because that was, in my parent eyes, a 'fun event'. I have had my driver's permit for five months (parent taught drivers Ed) and even though I've never come close to getting in a wreck, they refuse to let me drive on the highway and if I don't then how will I ever get my licence? We don't have cable or Netflix and I got in trouble for watching some YouTube on my laptop because it's a waste of time. Sometimes when she's upset, my mom will threaten to call my boss and force me to quit or not allow me to sign up for any more dual credit classes which will slow down my associates degree progress. I love my parents but I'm beginning to think I will have to move out in five months when I'm 18. Cant lay my head on my boyfriend's shoulder without a lecture? A homework curfew? How can I grow and mature like this? I know I have more to learn about life and the word but i can't do it here under these kinds of rules.

Sorry for the rant y'all, I've been needing to get it out so if you read this far, thank you.
