I feel that if i were you, in your position, with your family and all that, maybe i could be feeling the exact same thing as you. Well, perhaps you haven't realise this... but your parents are bringing you up in this kinda way, is actually strict, yet it's very good. Good for you, because up till now, i think your parents have done a great job in bringing you up. Actually, i don't know much about your parents backgrounds. But till now, as you can obviously see, BOTH your parents are actually holding a status in the society. Not just any status, but they are highly respected by a lot of people out there.
Let's say, if you were to put yourself in your parents' shoes, obviously, as parents, we want to show that our kids are well brought up with manners, and they have the right values in them. Because if something goes wrong, the blame gets pushed to the parents themselves. You might not have realised this, but in reality, many people judge the way you behave by how well your parents have brought you up. Not only you, but every other individual out there too.
Not saying that, just because your parents have a status in the society, that's why they have to have this role model thing. It's just what every parent wishes their child to be. They want them to be good mannered and be responsible. I mean, who doesn't want their kids to be? So, sometimes, you might not understand why your parent behaves in such a way, that it might hurt your feelings, but at the end of the day, she is still doing it for you. She's sacrificing her time just to spend more time with you guys. Will i ever have that chance? No. At least, since young till now, i haven't got that chance. Your dad is really a fantastic guy. Really. He balances his work and family so well, and he forgoes his own needs. I'm very envious, who doesn't want a dad like him? And i bet you love both your parents just as much as they love you. He still finds time to pick you up from school and head home for lunch together regardless of his job and how busy he is. Sometimes, i wish so much to have a family like yours, but no matter what, it's out of the question. There are 3 things in life that we cannot change, Life, Parents and Death. I live with it. I get used to it. I'm contented.
What you are going through now, is just a stage of normal growing up. Your sis have went through this before she got all her freedom too. It's just a matter of time. Sometimes, we do feel sad, but think about it, there are actually much more other people out there who are worse off than you. =)
On a lighter note, i found this on google.
