BitsandPieces answered Tuesday December 18 2007, 8:04 pm: You are probably more trustworthy than they give you credit for in a lot of situations, but that does not mean they don't have a point. Who we hang around has a profound effect upon our character, reputation, and life. It may be that they will never trust you if you are friends with people they don't trust. Maybe this can be remedied by having your friends over and get to know your folks more. If your parents get to know and like your friends, it will go well for you. However, it you are worried that you can't bring these people home and know your parents won't approve, then maybe you should face that your parents could be right about their influence upon you. Good luck and remember that a true friend is someone who adds to your life and well-being, not someone who drags you down. [ BitsandPieces's advice column | Ask BitsandPieces A Question ]

Maybe they don't trust you with your friends because you shut them out of things?
Always be honest about what you are doing- telling awful truths are FAR better than getting caught in lies.
