That is a tough age. You are expected to begin learning real life lessons and many of the lessons we need to learn are social. At the same time it's a crazy world and peer pressure is insane at that age. By age 16, we usually rely more on our peers than parents and get our values and information from these peers. This can be both good and bad depending on the peers we have in our life. You sound a bit like a hostage if I'm being honest. You deserve more freedom to explore.
