(REPLY) Sat Nam. Yeah, it's not the old days, and that's probably why your dads are so strict and seem not to trust you. What they don't trust is the world outside of the safety and security of your home! Nowadays there's so much stuff going on that can hurt young girls that I'm sure they are just being -- well, probably a bit too overprotective. But I would suggest that instead of being mad at them, and resenting their questioning you, you make it a point to prove to them by your very good behavior in school and at home, that you are responsible and trustworthy. Also, have you ever tried just talking with your dad? I don't mean complaining, but having an actual conversation where you tell him who your gal friends are, and what you like to do when you go out? At your age, parents can seem like the enemy, but I swear, they are not! And probably you spend as little time with your dad as possible, but, hey, why not try spending some time with him? Is that an option? I know it's contrary to your normal 15 year old instincts, but it might be worth a try. Anyway, if it's any consolation, remember, time will pass, and this situation won't last forever. So, are you getting good grades? (Just asking!) Blessings, SP
