How can I get my parents to be less strict (towards me at least)?

Anonymous
Hi. I'm Under 18 and have a problem with my parents. They are so strict that they get involved in everything I do. I'm an older teen and want to have at least some independence to make my own decisions. Some of the problems they cause are as follows.

*They want all the details for any parties/hang-outs I go to. This includes planning ahead (which no one does anymore).

*When I want to hang-out with a friend my mom says no automatically and doesn't even have a reason why.

*They tell me that they want me to have more of a social life but don't let me talk on the phone for more than a half an hour, don't let me talk on my cell phone, no texting, or im!

Those are just a couple big issues I have. I know they're probably scared to let me go but every time I mention it to them, they don't comment. But some of the things they do can ruin my social life as well. So do you have any advice to me about this situation? HELP! Thanks.
