advice

My parents are what you would call...overprotective. Yes, thats a good way to some it up. Lets put it this way, i am in higschool, and i am still not allowed to have more than one friend over at a time, i have never had a party, i have never went TPing, nothing. Thsi is the first year i have been allowed to go to my school's football games and i had to beg to go to homecoming.

My mom hates my best friend, she thinks shes a "bad influence" and refuses to let me go to her house and my house is totally lame. Whenever seh invites me over, my mom gets soo mad at me and we get into a fight. I have asked my parents mroe than once to try and trust me but they say they cant. WHat can i do to make my parents ease up a little?

*note* i can be trusted, i have been an all "A" honor student my whole life while juggling 3 seasons of varsity sports....i am MORE than responsible*

This is the same exact thing that I go through too. Have you tried asking your parents exactly why they can't trust you? If you are truly responsible there should be no good reason. I have made deals with my parents such as if I am home by 11, then I can go out later next time. And I always make sure that I am on time.

Is there anything about your friend that makes your mom think she is a bad influence? I don't want to sound preachy...because it could just be your mom. But you need to look at it at all angles.

I would try and have a conversation with your parents, and as difficult as it will be, bite your tongue. The less you argue the more points you have as to why you should be given more trust.

Good Luck.
Alina
