parents
My parents won’t let me go out at night or with my guy friends. And this is what all my friends are doing so night after night I’m finding myself at home playing chess with my little brother. This is not how 10th grade is supposed to be. How do I get my parents to loosen up? Also they won’t let teenagers drive me places. How do I convince them that this is ok? And how do I get them to trust me with more freedom?

Yeahh well i think that if you havent screwed up lately then you should tell them that you havent done any thing to loose there trust and should b able to go out when you want and when they give u a curfew b home! Then defently dont screw up that night

I think that you shouldn't argue and do the things they ask and if they start saying that you are reponsible then you can type up a little note and present it to them after dinner. I tried it with my independence and my parents trust me completely now but if you screw up you won't have their trust for very long
Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!

no matter how old you are you will always be their baby. I'm sorry about all that, but as a mother of a teen too it takes alot for a parent to let go. try bringing some of your guy friends over to meet the parents. or try to loosen them up with you voluntering to have a safe sex and I know to say no discussion with them. Maybe they will feel a little more comfortable knowing how responsible you are or can be. I know it worked for my son and I.

its okay if they dont want people driving you places if they JUST got their liscence.. just wait a little while to drive with people. just tell them that you are growing up and you want to go out. reassure them that you are responsible and you know what youre doing and wouldnt do anything stupid and irrisponsible. maybe if youre parents knew the people you are going to be with, they might change thier mind if they are good people.. then if they already do know them then thats probably why they dont want you to be with them. not trying to be judgemental but thats how it is sometimes.

Wow this is tough. Parents can be very hard headed, but they mean well. Try showing them how responsible you are. If you can do work around the house, and do your homework without being asked to do it, maybe you can approach them, and tell them, hey I'm really responsible, and I'm not asking for it all, but can't you just give in to one thing? If you want to choose what the one thing is beforehand, do so. You can only take things one step at a time, so I suggest you start small. And don't say "but everyone else is doing it" that never works, and it just makes them more convinced that you shouldn't be allowed to do it.
If you fail, and you try EVERYTHING you can think of, maybe instead of trying to get them to say yes now, you could ask them at what age do they think it's appropriate, and you at least know what they're thinking, and it might be useful if you want to try a new tactic of convincing.
