im tired of being underage

syd

so i will be 17 very soon.i recently got in trouble for seeing my boyfriend without permission.ever since then, my parents have been smothering me.just always in my business.i expect them to be in it atleast a bit because i am there child but they are overdoing it, i can't breath.of course i understand thats what parents do but honestly this is the very reason i was seeing him without permission, i don't like being hovered over and told what to do.i realize that i am still a minor but i'm still pretty responsible besides getting in trouble.i have a job & i go to school & get very good grades.im not disrespectful and i do my chores.yet, i feel like my parents are smothering me.i can't tell if its because i got in trouble or if its because im so close to being 18 & they don't like that.i realize i don't have long until i am an adult, but i still do not like being hovered over.i have always been this way, extremely private/introverted & extremely independant. my parents were never able to accept that its just part of my personality.and now that im getting older, i am especially independant.honestly its getting on my nerves so much that im thinking of trying to find a way to move out but i know it won't be easy for someone my age whos still in school.anyways i just wanted to vent, & if you guys have any encouraging words of advice or help please let me know.
