ok, pay attention very closely. my parents have always thought my friends were really bad influences on me. this time, they just went overboard. they found a condom and a shot glass in one of my drawers. they also easedropped while i was on the phone with my friend and heard me tell her that i was making out with this guy and stuff. so now they've drawn the conclusion that this is all my friends faults. they've just had enough of my "bad influncing friends" they believe me that im not having sex with anyone but they wont let me keep my friends. they told me that im not allowed to hang out with any of my friends with the exception of 3 of them which arent even friends with my big group of friends. im so depressed, its only been a day and i miss my friends already. i see them for 10 mins before classes start every morning and for maybe 5 mins through the day cause i dont have classes with them and i only have lunch with one. i already cut myself about 5 times. i dont know what to do. when they say something, theyre not gonna go back on it. so i really wanna know how to convince two very stubborn people to let me have my best friends back. please help.

If you care about your friends you will stop, if you don't to be judged as a crazy person all your life stop. Cutting makes your parents thing that your friends are even more of a bad influence on you. Sit your parents down and tell them that you made the decision on your own to make out and to have a condom in your drawer. Your friends had nothing to do with it. Lying to your parents to try to convince them isn't going to do you any good. But, you also got to remember your parents just care about you so don't get into a hissy fit about anything they say. Try explaining it nicely to them stating that you made those choices on your own. And anyways it is better to have a condom then a baby and since I am guessing you are about my age I don't think you or your parents want you having a baby.

Tell them the truth instead of being dishonest. Sit them down and tell them what you do and what your friends mean to you. Always tell them that they can't control everything you do and in order for you to grow up to be a decent person, you have to have your own life and make your own mistakes. Compromise with them about certain rules. Tell them where you are going and what you are doing. Tell them that you will call them when you're somewhere and if you will be drinking, make sure to let them know.
Parents mean well and they just want what is best for you. While you may think that it angers them when you do silly things, but in reality, parents just want the truth; a reason to trust you. They want you to trust them as much as you want them to trust you! We all know what kind of people are out there in the world and parents just want to make sure you are safe and secure.
