<p>My parents have some say, but I’m pretty balanced. </p>
<p>I set my own curfew (as in I just have to tell them, “I’ll be home by ____” and call if I’ll be later), I have my own car and can go anywhere I want (within reason). However, if I don’t get good grades so that I can get my good student discount, no more car.</p>
<p>My parents pay for my gas, insurance, clothes, food, etc. </p>
<p>They never ask me, “Did you do your homework?”</p>
<p>They think if I’m going to make mistakes, I may as well make them and learn from them. </p>
<p>I don’t have a whole lot of chores, so when they ask me to do stuff, they expect me to do it.</p>
