Why are my parents so OVERPROTECTIVE?

Whenever I stay home alone, they always freak out when I don't answer my phone (mostly due to bad service in the area, no battery, or it's in another room), and then after I call them saying I'm fine, they start randomly lashing out about how they were...

I'm not even allowed to walk up the street without them having to come with me. There's an oval about 100m up the road--they don't let me practise rollerskating there alone. I don't even have a social life because they don't let me go anywhere. I'll...
