Well you are 18, unless you live in their house make your own decisions now. Respect them but remember it's your life to live now.

move out
you are a legal adult but as long as you live at home you need to respect their rules

move out and stop mooching off of them if you don't like their parenting style!

Don't be an ungrateful and entitled kid!

You're 18 and emancipated. If you don't like how strict your parents are, move out.


Stonewall
Obey them or move out.

Get a job, support yourself, move out and you can do whatever you want.


MEL

this is going to sound like a joke, but it's not - get a job if you haven't already and leave home. trust me, don't stay.

EIther obey them or talk to them about it don't be rude about it but explain that if you are ever going to be a responsible adult that they need to start treating you like one, if they start on our house our rules and you still want to be a responsible adult you need to consider moving out on your own.. good luck

Move out and act like an adult

Move out. At 18 you are a legal adult although if you are still living in their home then the have the "right" to try and make you follow their rules.

Finish high school, go to college and become independent. The same as people with not so strict parents.

Don't concentrate on your parents right now, concentrate on getting the best dang education you can so you will be prepared to face the world on your own.

You are of legal age. As long as you live in your parents house, they have the right to enforce their rules. Just move. Get a life of your own, or start paying your parents rent.


joeanonymous
Move out if you don't like it, you are an adult.

What does this have to do with law enforcement and police?????


?
You are now legally permitted to make your own decision as to whether the benefits of living with your parents outweighs the costs. It doesn't sound as though your parents would permit your comings and goings to become a revolving door sort of decision making process, so be real mature and make a decision that you can stick with for at least a year at a time.

---Until you are capable of supporting yourself you need to bite your tongue and accept their ways, unless they are violent toward you.
---Simply reaching the age of 18 does by no means make you capable of supporting yourself or surviving in the world alone.
---After 21 years of police work I decided from experiance that 18 is absolutely NOT the age of adulthood and maturity. Age 18 is simply the age of majority and accepted as the first true step to independence from your parents.
---What you may wish to do is have a meeting wit your parents and explain to them that since you are now 18 you feel some of their restrictions should be loosened a little. I say this only if you are out of highschool already. If you are still in highschool then I suggest you consider yourself still 17 and accept your parents control.
---Even so a family meeting might get you a little more wiggle room. Tell your parents you are not looking for total freedom, just another step toward learning independence. Tell them you need to start taking steps toward that independence if you will be ready to handle it when you really do leave home for college, work, or just life.
I hope this helps you out.

any smart kid will listen,watch,and learn. don't be crazy. this is the time you get to save and plan you expectation. some loosers will tell you other wise. while you can while you have time. this is your window/your opportunity its not easy in the world and mom and dad is looking out for you (fam)family. talk it over with them let them know how u fill about your future! that u want one with their help. and you will always be able to leave and come again if times get tough. stay strong and wise my yahoooooo (fam)!

Your parents are being strict cause they care about you. My dad was hard on us, especially when it came to being honest. I'm glad he was cause over the years it's kept me from getting into trouble.

dont take it forgranted, these people are all saying move out, think about that very hard first. I moved out at 15 and I was able to get by but I was an exceptional overachiever with lots of options, I had graduated and got a really good job at that age. Do not move out without at very least $2500 extra besides what your counting on having to pay.

If you are still in school, ride it through.

If you are out of High School, secure a job, and make plans to move out on your own. Look for friends that want to get a place too. The cheapest way to live on your own, is obviously with one or two room mates.

Decide if its worth staying with your parents or moving out on your own. Living on your own is expensive...but at some point you will need to move out and be on your own. To be a responsible adult. My parents were really strict with me too, but when I was 18 I wasn't ready to move out just yet. I moved out when I was 19 and i'm glad I waited even one year. You can grow up alot in one year

18 is considered to be an adult in most parts of the world,maybe you should try to fly on your own if you cant handle being with your parents.
