Problem
Hello, my name is Yasmin. I am 15 years old. I have a big problem. My parents don’t want me to stay out till the time that I want Friday nights. They say that is very dangerous for young girls to stay out so late, even though they know that I'm with a lot of friends and not by myself. I think they're being too over protective. They say it's their responsibility to protect me.

Advice
Hello Yasmin. Your problem is very common among teenagers your age. First, you have to understand why your parents worry so much and don’t let you stay out till the time you want. Try to put yourself in their position. I suggest that you and your parents come to an agreement, such as to always be in a public places with a lot of people that you know and trust. Also, you should never go anywhere by yourself at nights. When you return home, it should never be by yourself, it should always be with someone else and with a taxi that you have ordered from your local taxi company. In this way, I think, your parents will be more relaxed and you will be able to stay out till anytime you want.
