ive had my permit for awhile and im not the best driver but im not that bad. none of my family trusts me driving and they expect me to be perfect at it..practice makes perfect, but they dont like my driving so they dont let me practice. then i always have to hear crap about how bad i drove when i made a little mistake because im a NEW driver i cant be perfect. i've driven with an instructor for 6 hours, ive read the book. but good driving doesnt just come overnight. im so sick of getting **** for my non perfect driving. i try talking to them but they dont think i take it seriously and i really do! but driving takes practice and time which im not getting..what the hell am i supposed to do!? thanks.

I know you're thinking what the crap are you talking about. Get four chairs and a fake steering wheel. get your family to pretend drive with you. You will act as if you were on the road. By buckling your seatbelt and checking your rearview mirror. Have siblings hold up stop signs and pretend there are pedestrians walking the street.

I think telling one of them at a time is better than telling them at the same time, because they might team up on you. They may recommend taking a couple more classes just so you have the confidence. If they don't, act more responsible around the house. They might just feel you are not responsible. ALso, you should ask one of them to let you drive them to quick, close-by-your house places daily. (Like the grocery store.)
***BTW, they are being sooo picky with you because they don't want you to get in a car accident. Most accidents are caused by teens whether or nopt it is even their fault. zthis shows your parents really care.***

Tell him that you really really want to be good, but in order to do that you need their help. Parents always want to hear that we need them. So just tell them that you can't do it without them and you really are in need of guidance from them. Then ask them if you can go driving with them one day, for the whole day. You may not want to give up a whole day to spend with your mom or dad, but if you parents are anything like mine, they will jump for joy when you tell them you want to spend the day with them!
