so much for no rude answers. i cant get any good friendships coz ive always got to try and balance it out and make excuses for not going out with them. Parents have ‘due respect’ but not always ‘earned respect,’ but I think due respect is a crock of sh*t that society came up with, parents don’t deserve any more respect than any other person, if they haven’t earned it. Maybe they have earned it though, but they still don’t let their kids go out? Then it’s hard, I got no answer for that.

You have no "right" to meet with friends. Esp if you are under 18.

If you are under 18 you have to do what your parents say or risk being put into the juvenile justice system. If you leave without permission you could be considered a run away.

Sorry, the rights start when you become a human in the eyes of the law, when you become an adult at 18.

Good Luck

You don’t have the right to do as you wish until you reach your majority, eighteen or twenty-one depending on the state or the occasion.
Parents bear the responsibility for getting you to the age of majority, and they can be sent to jail in some states if they let you do what you want, which may be things that aren’t in your overall best interests.
Even if your friends are the best people in the world, who volunteer to help the aging, and are in the National Honor Society, and who would n’t ever drink or do drugs or have sex, they still have the right to raise you as they see fit as long as there is no physical abuse.
Trying to see you safely into adulthood isn’t against your human rights.

If you are a minor, and you are living under their roof, then you need to abide by their rules. They can set your curfew, and determine where you can go or not go. You still have your basic human rights covered (they provide you shelter, food and clothing, and presumably a computer as well, and you are attending school).

Sorry, but as a minor, your parents not only have the right but the responsibility to guide you as they see fit, including restricting your abilities to meet friends that they deem unsavory or undesirable. Only in cases of actual neglect or maltreatment would your rights override theirs.

Nope, you really have to do as they say. The Bill of rights protects you from the government, but not your parents.

"Freedom" isn't free. When you start paying all of your bills and are both responsible and accountable for 100% of your actions, then you have the right to decide when you will go out and with whom you will associate. Until then, your parents are legally responsible for you and your actions and they have final say in the matter.
