hey. ok my problem is that my parents give me noooooo freedom. They won't even let me go to the mall alone!!!!! I always confront them but they never listen. I am getting really fed up with them. I don't know what to do. Green day is going on tour and all my friends are going and i really want to but my parents wont let me because they think they swear too much. What should I do besides talking to them because that doesnt help!

BeautifulMadness answered Tuesday February 8 2005, 2:49 pm: Heya,
Confronting your parents most likely won't help. Sit down with them and have a quiet, controlled chat. Tell them that you are mature enough and will be with enough people to be responsible and take care of yourself. If they can't trust you, then that's their problem, and you should tell them so. If you have given them no reason to doubt you, then it's not fair and they need to know how you feel - but don't yell that to them, or they will just think you're being bratty or 'like a teenager'. You need to earn their trust - start with little things before something as huge as a Greenday concert, such as the mall. Get them to drop you off outside and you can meet up with your friends inside. You can even text them when you get inside to say that your friends are there and everything is OK. Be outside to be picked up right on time or even early and it may show them that you are responsible and can be trusted.
I hope it works!! Remember there's no point arguing because it'll just make them angry!
Blessed Be,

Try making a deal with your parents that you get to see Green Day if you keep the swear jar empty for a few weeks. The more responsibility you show and rules you follow the more privileges you get. Period. Good luck. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]

*Hope I helped!*

Go online and look up statistics on what kids your age are doing and let them know that you or your friends dont engage in those activitys tell them that u know they love you but they have to learn to trust u. Be proffesional about it,they will respect you for it. [ eycandy's advice column | Ask eycandy A Question ]
