How to convince my parents to let go of my bedtime?

Question

I'm 13... I go to bed at 8:30-9:00 on weeknights and about 9:30pm on weekends.

Its really g*y because ALL my friends will be texting at 10:00pm at night when i'm meant to be sleeping and they're all allowed to go to bed later than me or have no bedtime

It really sucks B'cuz i feel left out and like a loser I sleep in on weekends sorta 9:00- 9:30am. This is my first year at high school i feel like i should be given more freedom. I act mature most of the time but sometimes i get a bit silly =)

(You really should see other people though...)

I've tried talking to them but they won't listen.

Also i have a 10 year old sister and 8 year old brother that stay up like an hour after the time i went to bed at their age and they go to bed the same time as me now which sucks.

What should i do?

You have to remember you are only thirteen, not an adult. You have to follow the rules set forth by your parents because they know what's best for you. You may not like the rules but you have to follow them.
