Are my parents over protective?[reposted]?

Question

I am not allowed to have a boyfriend ,or even have guys call for that matter, until Im 16 but everyone in my school is allowed to right now. Im 13. I think I should be able to date at least when Im in high school. I think my parents are over protective. They say that its because the pressure to have s*x but honestly even think Im too young to have my first kiss. I dont get why they dont trust me. And dont say they trust me they just dont trust guys because its not like they are going to rape me or something. Its not because I want to fit in with other people.Its because I like guys.

Know and understand this ,,,, Your only shield and protection against the hard realities of life and the world is your parents ,,,, I know there are things your friends do that you want to do but your parents aren't raising them they are raising you ,,,, Your parents know what they are doing because they've been there and done that ,,,, You can't understand why they are doing this because you haven't experienced any of the trouble that kids can so easily get into and allot of time without even know it or why ,,,,

You need to develop patience ,,,, Your parents didn't have you just to torment or deprive you ,,,, There are definite reasons behind what they are doing ,,,, You have no idea of how many girls your age and older that wish they'd had parents like yours ,,,, Trust your parents because they are not going to knowingly tell you anything that's wrong or send you down a wrong path ,,,,

If you have questions then by all means ask them but in a manner that conveys that you want to know so as to aid you in learning and growing up ,,,, Your parents are the best friends you are ever going to have in life ,,,, Try to develop patience and just listen to them ,,,, You'll see later on what they are doing and appreciate their efforts when you've gotten old enough to understand what they've done ,,,,  You'll thank them in the end ,,,, //
