My mom alwais tells me that she cannot trust me and dosent let me stya home alone alot either. She has caught me smoking four times ((the difference is that i do it and you just tried it, dont do it again, it sux)) well any ways... you ahve to elt them know they cna trust you! if you ever make a mistake like fail a test or dont do a progect or try a knew drug or drink, tell them rite away! make them feel like you tell them everything and that you are being mature and brave enough to let them know what is going on in your life. The third time i was caught, it was because i told her. We got i ahuge fight just b4 and i had to tell her. She gaind alot of trust in me just from that. I do alot of bad things that she dosent know about and when she catches me then i wish that i had told her in the first place. i get in trouble all the time and i never hear the end of how she dosent trust me any more and how im such a bad kid. She says if i told her all the stuff i did and didnt hold it in or lie that i would be in a lot less trouble and she'd be able to trust me, so just tell them everything up front good and bad. hope i could help, drop one in my box if i can hepl yah with any thing else! bbye x3 hannah [ xox3HaNnAhxox3's advice column | Ask xox3HaNnAhxox3 A Question ]

Its kind of difficult being a parent these days. There is so much out there for kids to get in trouble with. They just want to make sure you get the message. Don't be to hard on them. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
devilspawn_666 answered Tuesday September 27 2005, 9:48 pm: There isn't really anything you can do now but wait and try to earn your parents' trust back by being on good behavior. It sucks that you got caught and are now in trouble, but it happens. At least you know now that it's not worth it to do it again... Just make sure you do well in school and maybe when report cards come out you can use good grades as a bargianing tool. But honestly, just because your friends do it, isn't a reason to. If they jumped in front of a moving semi, would you do it? [ devilspawn_666's advice column | Ask devilspawn_666 A Question ]

mom, dad, I know you dont trust me about smoking. I was just curious what it was like...I made a mistake. I learned from the mistake. I will never smoke again. I understand that it might take a while to gain that trust back, but i am truly sorry and I will do anything to gain it back.
