How can teens have their parents trust?

I,m 15, have a good relationship with my parents, but this trust thing upsets me.Some people say that once trust is lost it's hard to regain. But every teen - actually everyone at any age - makes mistakes. I'd say 99% of all people, at some point in their teen years, messed up. Most more than once, seems this is human nature. Even strict parents messed up when teens. My mom admits she made mistakes when she was a teen, even did thigs behind her parents' back. My dad too. So, almost everyone, at some point of his or her teen years, broke his or her parents trust. Does this mean every teen loses his her parents trust for life or for many years?


I have my parents trust, they say I'm responsible and mature for my age. I've made some mistakes,,but they were loving and understanding. But I may make a big mistake, no one is perfect and I'm just a girl? What if this happen, will I lose their trust?

How can teens have their parents trust?
im 17 and my paretns trust me even tho i used 2 steal money from them i no that is bad but we were rly poor and i cud neva afford anything it was selfish but i elarned form it , at that time my mum wudent talk 2 me but as time goes on they will trust u. do things that show u are trustworthy like coming in on time, helping with a bro or sis and not asking 4 money, u no do things were u dnt expect anything and ur aprents will think wow maybe we can trust her good luck!


also explain to them! make sure u do that!
Reply:it depends on if you mean what if you have sex. then will your parents lose trust in you? probably with a boy yes. but if you do that then you should go to them and tell that you made a mistak. tell them what you did and ask for their forgivness. dont keep it hidden or when they find out, which they will, they wont trust you anymore.





good luck =D
Reply:i am very impressed that you are worried about it, you are right everyone makes mistakes. a parents love can suprise you and even if you do something big they will always love you and give you a chance to earn it back! Learn from the small mistakes, stay with people you know live life the way you want to live yours and you CAN make it through. some teens, people in general make their way through life without ever making the BIG mistakes you are talking about. you will lose trust if you screw up, but try your hardest and do the things you know are right for you life.
Reply:You may not make a "BIG" mistake. There is a difference between making mistakes, making big mistakes and believing that you are entitled to a mistake because you are a teen.


Myself, my 2 sisters and my 3 brothers managed to not lose our parents trust by knowing what they wanted to see and not see from us.


Depending on what you do and the rules you have to follow will depend on whether you lose your parents trust or not.


Forgetting to make curfew once or twice is forgivable. I am sure they would trust you to make it the next time.


Drinking and driving is going to be a hard to to get over for your parents. They need to know you know better for your own safety.


Doing drugs may be a hard one for your parents to forget. Not having parties while they are away. It may be hard for them to trust you with their home if you have broken this one before.


Then again it would depend on how it was all handled by you and by them had it been done before.


Know what your parents expect, remind yourself you can handle what it is they expect and that you haven't let them down before. Don't use I am only 15 and a girl as an excuse to make the mistake that may lose their trust. Prove that you are a young woman that is mature and can handle the situations.
Reply:I'm a mom to four little guys, I'm 25 and I feel very young still. I remember being a horrible teen. But now I have a great relationship with my parents. I realize now that everything they told me was because they were scared I would get hurt, or they wanted me choose good things that I wouldn't regret when I was older. I regret a lot of things! I was sexually active even though my parents were against it and my own moral beliefs were as well. Mostly I regret it because the sex was just sex that didn't mean anything and now I felt like I was letting people have my body, when my body is very sacred. Now I hope to teach my children that if someone loves you or wants to be with you they will not stop wanting you if you save yourself. If they are truely in love with YOU then they will want to know you and not presure or even tempt you with sex. Sorry...I just worry about my two little girls. I don't want them to feel "dirty" as I did.
Reply:the way i got my parents is tell them were i was if plans changed i called and let them know and asked if it was ok didn't expect them to be ok w/ the idea...i called and told them i was where ever even if i wasn't supposta be (ex: i wasn't supposta be at a party but ppl started doin hard drugs i left)


just be as honest and truthful as you can be w/ them i always came home on time and even if i was gonna be late i called and told them key them in on as much as you can....you don't have to tell them all your secrets they understand that


im now 19 and don't live w/ my parents but they both still call almost every day and i tell them whats up


but i told them when i was havin sex and that i needed BC, when i drank ect my parents were awesome to start w/ some ppl's parents would flip if they knew that kinda stuff


good luck!
Reply:I lost my parents' trust last year.


I have regained pretty much all of it.


It's very hard to regain/gain their trust.


Prove to them, you can stay out of trouble, not do illegal things, be home on time, ect ect.
Reply:hey,


I'm 15 and I have lost my parents trust for making a big mistake. It took my parents a couple months to get over it. Relax it will happen, I guarantee it! Over time you will regain your parents trust, but you have to work really hard!
Reply:You can not spend your time worring about what may happen. Trust is important and having an open line of communication with your parents is the right thing for all of you. When you make a mistake you will be able to talk it out and move on. Some mistakes are bigger than others and I think it is not so much a trust issue on the kids part but on the parents part. At some point they will have to let you learn from your own mistakes as they once did. This is how we grow as people.
