I once new a kid who's parents were like this. We were sitting in class one day and most of the students were complaining about how strict their parents seemed to be. They complained about a cerfew and all that.
This guy, a very strong, big guy whom you'd never think would get so torn up quieted our class with "At least when you don't come home for days your parents are looking for you. My parents wouldn't know it if I was dead in a gutter and they don't act like they care."
Everyone got really silent and kinda stared either at the floor or the guy who had a streak of a tear on his face.
Think about it like that. I would rather have my parents frantic about where I am and what I'm doing then be so distant they wouldn't know if I came home for days on end. Honestly... you really should stop and thank your parents for being at least someone strict and more caring then you realize.
