How to react to strict parents

Everyone seems to have parents that are stricter than anyone else - or so it can seem for many. While your friends may be allowed out late if you have to stay in and work or be home by a certain time then it can lead to resentment. However the best thing to do is to respect your parents and realize that they are doing it for your own good and because they care and they just want to protect you. Rather than throw a tantrum, the best thing to do is to be mature and see if you can compromise like stay out an extra half hour and behave well and if you do then gradually over time they may relax their boundaries and curfew towards you.
