How do i get my parents to see my point of view?

my parents are waaaaaay too strict. they hardly let me do anything (yes, i am pretty spoiled and get lots of nice things from them, but barely any freedom, which is what i would actually like). i'm 15 years old and i still have to go to bed at 10 on schoolnights (i can reason with that), but i have to go to bed from 11-12 on weekends...AND in summer (i CANNOT reason with that, half the ppl i know dont have bedtimes at all). i'm tired of my parents being so strict and overprotective, today i wasnt allowed to go sled riding because i could be "risking my life" GIVE ME A BREAK i've been sled riding since i was like 9 and havent gone a single time this effing winter!! i'm not even allowed to paint my freaking nails black OR having a stupid tv in my room because its a "distraction!" my mom constantly badgers me about school, if i have a temporary A-, then all hell breaks loose. my parents dont understand me at all and still treat me like i'm 12! i try to tell them how i feel but i'm constantly shot down with the "you get so much stuff" speech. they honestly think they give me freedom, but they give me NOTHING when it comes to that area. i'm a great student, a nice girl for the most part, and am the opposite of a bad kid, which my parents try to convince me i am. i just dont know how to get them to see things my way, i feel like i am trapped in a freedomless house and that i'll never get them to understand. i feel like i'm close to rebellion, and thats not the road i want to take. any ways to talk to my parents about this?
