I think in my culture back home (Pakistan/India), asking for permission is really just to show respect and usually easy to obtain.
For example, here in the US teenagers usually tell their parents that they are going out. In my culture, teenagers usually ask their parents if they can go out.
And I cannot remember ever been denied when I was teenager. I think if I had simply told my parents that I was going out, they would have stopped me to ask more question or even stopped me from going out.
