So you expect people to agree with you, even though you've given us no reason to agree?

It doesn't work that way. You asked a question, and you got answers from different points of view. You're allowed your point of view as well, but dictating what answer you want, that's not how debate works.

In the event that you really were saddled with this topic for a debate and are not just trying to convince your parents, I'll try to help.

First your topic is flawed. The biggest problem is the "wherever we want". Your parents have a moral and legal obligation to keep you safe. Therefore they have to decide where you can safely go.

So if you change your topic to: Should teenagers be allowed to spend time with their friends, you might be able to argue that. The argument there is that teens need to have relaxation time, just the same as adults. They also need to experience social interactions. So parents should allow teens to have those experiences as long as they are aware of who the friends are and where they will be going.

But if you are going to argue that a teenager should be given complete freedom, nope that is not going to fly.

In a true debate, ( and I doubt this really is) first the terms of each word has to be defined, so the issue is, what is "everywhere" who defines it, and are there any limits, bars, strip clubs, and then what are friends, people you have known two days, or who.

Then one has to describe the social, economic and culture rules of that society that effects friends, An example a young unmarried female may not be allowed to do many things without an escort by a family member in many cultures.

So in a debate normally the first team up, defines the words and the debate has to follow their defining of the words.

OP has also posted that she is Muslim - I don't know how this enters into the parental control issue OR if this is a question about a Muslim going out ... or not.
