im a 16 year old guy. To put it simply, although my parents provide for my basic needs, I just can’t do what I want to do in my house, they crash out on me(like actually crash out) if im doing what they dont like, i cant buy things i want WITH MY OWN MONEY without them green lighting it, i cant meet my friends without them knowing everything about them, they constantly disregard my privacy by reading my phone and going into my room. When i sometimes lose my temper, my mom fucking cries and acts as the victim EVERY GODDAMN TIME and my dad just crashes out at me. What should i do?
My parents are huge crashouts

You’re not wrong for wanting space. Stay calm, stay smart, and work toward your freedom
Talk to your parents you will find out that what they do is also for you because you are a minor
They only are trying to make sure your being smart and safe with things you do. Since technically, you under 18 and therefore you are still their responsibility. What you do as a child affects them as your parent. So like, if you missed a bunch of school, your parents can actually get into legal trouble for that. They are just your parents, you dont get another set of parents, and they won’t be around for forever. Just be grateful they care, cuz there are some parents out there that unfortunately, don’t even realize they haven’t fed their kids today….
Focus on communication. Set boundaries calmly and express your need for privacy.
I just don’t tell them what i do
