My parents are always bugging me about coming home at unreasonable times, and my mom assumes that I am into drugs, smoking, and drinking alcohol. I dont know how to gain their trust, so that they will respect me more. I always seem to blurt out words to them, and they yell at me all the time. I dont know how to handle this situation, because they are destroying my social life.

kallan answered Friday June 23 2006, 7:21 pm: Could you and your parents sit down and set up what they is an appropreate hour for you to come home at that you think is reasonable. You can gain their trust by pulling your weight around the household, like cleaning or picking things up when you aren't asked. I know it's hard not to blow up at your parents when you are angry, but when you know there is going to be a "conflict" try to think about what you are saying before it comes out of your mouth, and if you know that it will come back and bit you later, refrain from saying, but I know doing that in an agrument is extremely difficult! When you are having said argument, make the statment before you get into it that you don't want any yelling. I hope this is helpful to you!

Notso answered Friday June 23 2006, 5:39 pm: the best way to handle this situation is like everyone else talk to your parents. Tell your parents where you're going, and who you will be with, if they don't know who they are introduce them. If you have a cell phone tell them you can always be reached, or give them a rough estimate of what time you'll be home at.
Your parents probably just feel like you're closed off to them, so they worry that you're hiding something. Talk to them, about anything, tell them how your day went, something stupid that happened at lunch, whatever. If they feel like they know your friends a bit better, and that you'll come to them with any problems they'll relax. [ Notso's advice column | Ask Notso A Question ]

What you need to do is talk to them about it tell them that they are totally ruining your social life and they need to let loose. Try to gain their trust by helping them do things and they will gain your trust more and respect you more if you go to them with this problem.
Basketball3846 answered Friday June 23 2006, 4:45 pm: My parents used to be really strict too. Just sit them down and talk to them. If someone starts to get angry and raise there voice just notice it and say "please calm down". Just be really understanding with them and start out slow at first with maybe a later curfew by a half hour. Then maybe after a month if they know you're fine, raise it to an hour. Just make sure that they know you know where they are coming from and that you understand. It'll all turn out fine. Chances are they just don't want you to get hurt.
