That's an easy one. Prove and show them that you're responsible. They're strict because they don't want you to make the wrong decisions. Find a good way to gain their trust. Give them an idea how you're able to be dependable for your own decisions. Oh yeah... I dunno if this will help you in your situation; but I appreciated my mom by just giving her a simple thank you card and she was totally lenient that whole week on me. :] Just a suggestion. Have fun!

well getitng your aprents 2 realize you're more mature then they think you are is alwyas a good idea. if my parents sed no i couldnt go 2 a party or sumthign i used 2 get upset and always ask "why?" or start 2 yell ro sumthign-so try 2 avoid that if you can bcuz that ussually is annoying 2 parents. also if u try 2 get a closer relationship wiht your parents that may work so that way they no more about you and they wont have ne reason not 2 give u more privliges. hope i helped =)

Tell your parents that you've grown up a little more and you would like some freedom. If they know your a good kid they should have no problem with it unless you be unreasable with them. Such as If your curfue is 9:00 suggest it being pushed till 10:00! Hope i helped =)

Theres no real way to make them be less strict because maybe they grew up with strict parents too and were tought that way, but maybe they will losen up if you act more responsible, then they can trust you more and act a bit less strict. Good luck! =) <333

The only thing I can tell you is to tell your parents that you are growing up.. and they need to trust you... that you will make the right decisions.. and that they dont need to be as strict with you anymore.

blinkgurlbritt182 answered Saturday August 14 2004, 6:18 pm:
Heyhey Hun,

You need to show them that your responsible. Such as doing extra chores, cleaning up your room without them asking. If none of that works, confront your parents about, you'll actually be suprised how they respon.

accolade answered Saturday August 14 2004, 5:45 pm:
parents ARE strict... it's their nature. really the only way i can think of is just asking them to let up a little bit. remind them (gently) that they can't protect you from everything. tell them you just need some more space, just like they did when they were your age.
if you need anymore help, PLEASE ask, cause i know exactly what you mean

I think you should let them know and even show them how mature you are. Make good decisions and do what your parents say. It may pay off in the near future.

well i dont kno exactly how.. but you can do things to gain there trust.. tell them what your doing and where your going.. and be honest.. thats how my parents became less strict.. and if they have other things to worry about like a job and a pet - and if theres something going on then theyll lay off a bit also ;)

Mercy_x_Me answered Saturday August 14 2004, 4:22 pm:
the truth is you really cant. But the thing you can do is gain respect. Offer to do more chores than you usually do, go out of your way to help them. They'll lighten up and just feel a little more comfortable with you having more privelages. You can also sit down and rationally ask for the things that you want, (like whatever leighway your looking for) but yelling or fighting or whining wont help. So be calm. Keep it cool. Other than that parents will be parents. But its always worth the try!

good luck xoxo
