A lot of times, it doesn't work to talk to your parents about things, especially things that they feel they need absolute control over. And like you said already, they keep making up excuses.

Everyone knows that strict parents raise rebels. It was the same way with my mom and my grandpa. He was way too strict and controlling, and paced around waiting for her to arrive from school every day. My mom resorted to lying just to hang out with her friends, and was caught and punished. She makes sure that I have clear boundaries and rules but she isn't "strict." It is an appropriate level.

Hmm...
- If you resort to lying or sneaking around their very strict ways, you're very likely to get caught. You might not get caught. But if you do get caught, they will be double or triple as strict.
- You could wait it out, even if it seems really hard to do.

Some parents (at church and stuff) come up to me and tell me, "Hey, I have a daughter named _____ she's over there. Can you talk to her?" This has happened to me a few times. They say it because I'm trustworthy, great grades, play a few instruments, have a good reputation, etc. If I was your friend in real life, we could've hung out. Parents trust me anyways, lol.

So why not find a friend that your parents trust? You could spend more and more time away from home and more time with your friend. Just be sure that the friend is trustworthy and doesn't run off and tell your parents about your conversations.

I hope everything goes well. It probably will. Never be rebellious, there's never a good outcome.
