By showing your individuality and sense of responsibility. By showing you have matured enough in a way that still respects your parents and others.

Sit down and have a conversation with them about it. If this doesn't help, just try to go to your own space.

You need to be honest with them and tell them how you feel. You don’t have to be rude but if you tell them that you are feeling this way they may back off.

speak to your parents about how you feel in regards to the way they treat you. show them that you're more grown than they perceive, and that they should respect your age.

Just tell them that you don't like to be treated like that. Often times, we just don't grow up to be old enough in the eyes of our parents. On the contrary, as long as your parents aren't limiting you too much, just let it be (:

I would suggest communicating this to them. often things happen due to a lack of understanding by one or both parties. communicating that you feel as though they are treating you as a teenager might enable them to reflect on the way they act and change it.

You should try to talk to them about it. Ask them why they are doing it and tell them that you don't like it. Communicate with them.

Its important to show and give a proof that youre responsible , mature in your opinions and talk with them about that issue with respect, of course.

Prove to them that you are an adult not just by age but by your actions. I think the best way is to show them you are responsible enough for then to trust you.

Maybe sit down with your parents and ask them why they treat you like a teenager. Then after you hear their answer, ask them if they can slowly start cutting back on how badly they treat you like a teenager because now you are an adult.
