This may not seem like a big matter for whoever reads but it is currently a big matter to me, also I didn't know if I should have posted this here or r/offmy chest.

Yesterday (Friday 4th of April) I (F15) went out with my friend (M17) and two of his friends I've talked to two times (M17/18 and M something). I went out to eat dinner with them while my family was eating, got there early as I calculated time wrong but whatever and waited for them, afterwards we ate inside the "restaurant" and then stayed in the square near the place where we ate and talked, then I had to go home and they walked me home and went on their way.

While we were eating my dad got to the place and watched us(?) from outside or something, I know he's trying to make sure I'm okay and safe (he said he was making sure I wasn't lying) but does he have to??

I feel like this whole ordeal boils down to him thinking of me as stupid or something (not stupid as in stupid but I think you got the point). I am the youngest of 6 children and all my brothers are male, they never done anything like this to them plus they've told me that as teens they had bad companies as friends too. They also told me multiple times that they got into a ton of fights as teens.

This makes me upset because it's not just a one time thing and it's not just my parents but some of my brothers too, the thing that makes it worse is that I'm short like my mother. I'm already anxious enough about strangers now I have to worry about them following me too?

Again, this may not seem like a big deal and probably isn't but I just want to be like my brothers. Thank you for reading.

(I left out the fact that the first guy I mentioned is a guy I like and could be a factor in why he did that it's kinda always been like this.)
