My parents hardly ever let me leave the house. I'm not allowed to sleep over at friends houses and on the occasions that I am let out, I need to be home by either 8 or 10 depending on what mood my parents are in. (I have never been and can't really go to a house party/clubbing/for a night out).

I am 18 and about to go to uni. I feel that this stops me being 'normal'/having a social life.

I don't understand why my parents micromanage me so much; I am not and never have been a troublesome kid -I am a Cambridge offer holder and I didn't get it because I'm smart, I got it because I have always been a very hard worker.

tl,dr: What can I do about having parents that pretty much never let me leave the house unless I'm going to school.
