I'm fourteen, female, and I've never done anything majorly bad in my life. My biggest mistake was probably insulting an idea a teacher had that got me yelled at by her, honestly. My parents used to trust me with anything, and it was great because I'm very responsible. But latley, I've grown up even more and they decided not to trust me at all. I've always had guy friends but they've never minded, and all of the sudden they're totally against my best friend as well. They keep me from seeing any of them, and when I ask why, they tell me to 'deal with it.'
I'm not sure what to do. I've tried countless times and ways to talk to them about what happened with the trust, but they simply don't answer with a reasonable statement. Please help, I want my life back. <3

Sit them down, & talk to them reasonably, and show them you're trustworthy. Insulting an idea a teacher had isn't something to lose someone's trust over. Some teachers have some really stupid ideas & honestly, I do the same thing. Usually when I let my teacher know that the idea or whatever is bad/stupid, they try to fix it so it's something the class & me will be interested in. But just talk to them calmly & come up with something. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]
