Maybe express to your dad that you would like to have some time to yourself to do what you want before bed? I would also (if you want) try to get in your room a bit earlier so you can do what you want before they tell you its time for bed. I know its insanely hard when you have a curfew, but keep pressing your dad and he will probably end up giving in and letting you do whatever. Since your roommate is only 12, would it bother him/her if you turned on the light once your stepmom came in and turned them out so you could keep reading?

Hope this helps some.
