Let me try and shorten this as much as I can.

I'm going to be a senior next year. I don't drink or smoke, get into trouble, I'm applying to schools in a few months, and I'm always in a cheerful mood.

Anyway,
I feel like my parents expect so much. When I was dating my girlfriend they'd complain about how it was wrong that we would "close the door". I started running and my mom said that she's concerned that I might hurt myself and lately I've been no lifing on the computer and they get angry at that now too. They always say something about failing as parents.

Can someone explain to me what I'm doing wrong?

Oh good lord, I hear you. My parents say the exact same thing when my boyfriend is at my house. Just keep doing things as you're doing, don't listen to them. I made the mistake of allowing my parents to put pressure on me, and it was a huge contributing factor to me being diagnosed with depression.

Honestly, just don't let them pressure you to do anything or to not do things.
 
drink a beer and do a girl and everything will be good :)

Tbh something is wrong with your parents. You go to school, you're going to apply to colleges, in a relationship, you're doing all the "right things."

For you, there shouldn't be any pressuring on, you're doing what a normal teenager does.

I flunked my senior year and am currently in summer school to get my diploma. All i did was party, never applied to any colleges of course, didn't have the grades. Never did anything around the house, so there are reasons to be yelled at and have no excuse.

You on the other hand are going to have to tell them that you're growing up, you'll be living your own life soon and that they need to back the d*ck off. Shit if i could be half of you academically and the choices you make i'd be proud.

Stick with how you are and continue what you're doing. Confront your parents about the situation.
 
To be honest i kinda have a problem like that but different situation kinda...if that makes sense.

But yeah i cant even communicate with my parents how about that for yah? =p

my parents are immigrant parents (Asian) , they have a different perspective to being successful life then i do. All Asians think about is money money money. They think its all about achieving high education and don't get me wrong im not saying that's bad but its revolves all around money for them but im all for a happy family and well-off enough to meet my needs.
 
Any good parent wouldn't let their child be alone with their girlfriend in a room with the door closed..

Not necessarily , ive been to a girls house and all we did was talk and play xbox 360 in her room? lol?
 
As Verts said, continue on the way your going, dont let your parents affect you. You are at a mature age, and it is your choice. Your parents are just over reacting, as they love you very much and dont want anything happening. Try telling them its alright, or just ignore them.

Lmao i got exactly the same. Just dont listen and have a serious conversation with them.
 
thats an ideal son for my parents
minus the girl
 
All parents are like that.. Mainly, they stil treat you like a baby cause time has flown past em' so quickly. Once your 18-19 they'll start treating you like adult

Even though you deserve to be now.
 
Well my parents are layed back i am going to be a senior this year and... i dont have a job allthough they do expect me to go to college...they dont yell at me for doing the right things...just that if i dont do my chores sometimes...just tell them that your doing the right things...and your not doing anything wrong.
 
My Parents are the same way!!!! Like seriously. Tell them that you need some time alone. Sit there, call your gf/bf (I don't know your preference), and like seriously them controlling us kids makes us depressed because we cant give them everything they want and they need to learn to back the fuck off.
