Gaining respect and freedom from parents without them giving you the "typical teenager" label?

Question

i'm a teenager and i need some advice on gaining respect and freedom from controlling parents without them giving you the "typical rebellious teenager" label

silent treatment, hunger strikes, disrespect, and cold shoulder get me no where

i get all A's in school, i don't do drugs, i don't drink, i sleep a little too much, but i don't ask for much from them yet they still treat me like im 12


suggestions?

Answer

Well, the things you've tried to do aren't gonna help and they might end up harming you.  Try respecting them and asking them for a little more freedom.  Make sure how to emphasize how you do good in school, how your responsible, stuff like that.  Strict parents are tough, and from past experience It's not easy.  Just try talking with them about it, that's always what worked best for me.
