My father has always been tight since I was a youngster. I'm 17 and on the 2nd yr of college. My school is 30 km away from home, and I have to ride a 120-km/hr speeding jeepney just so I can go to school. There's no other transportation that offers slower pace than that unless I ride a motorcycle which is more dangerous!
There's a dormitory at our school but my father won't allow me either. He's too afraid something or someone might tempt me. Fearing the unexpected miracle of pregnancy, he prefers my hazardous travelling better.
How can I explain it to him that he should trust me; that I feel sloppy after arriving at school and can't concentrate on my studies well??

tell him the last part you told us and tell him to put you on a trial period at school and the minute you mess up he can make you come back home.

You need to talk with your father about your problems and you need to explain to him that you need his support in life, because he is the one who should support you in life, studies up to the age when you will be totally independent! Make him understand that you are a responsible person and that you will prove to him that you are a person to whom it's worth to trust! I know that it's hard time because I faced the same problems when I was a teenager, but I fought for my rights and now my relation with my parents it's just great, because I prove them what a person I am!

just sit him down and talk to him about it, and if that doesn't work try again this time asking how you can prove yourself to be trustworthy. and make sure to mention in both conversations how the issues is detouring you from concentrating what's really the matter of importance, which is your schooling

Tell him that your current situation is affected your studies. If you haven any friends who live in the dorms, bring them home as proof that dorm life doesnt always lead to pregnancy.

Talk to him. And promise to observe every precaution he laid out. Tell him the benefits of getting a dorm, and be very reasonable, 'cause dad's can get very moody and clever at times. As long as you put it nicely, he's going to go on with your decision, good luck!

spend more time with your dad... seriously, lots of time with your dad... show him that you are mature, and show him you can take care of yourself... you wont give him much confidence and you wont be able to show him, if you dont spend a lot of time with him... you should be happy to have a dad who still love you and concern about you that much... it is a father and daughter thing. I would tend to do the same thing too...

Ask him to give you a chance to prove that you are trustworthy. Tell him to look at your life so far, have you not proved that you will do as he has asked?
Tell him it is affecting your studies.
