just cuzz u think u learned ur lesson doesn't mean u know how 2 show it if u really learned ur lesson u wouldn't worry about show how responsible and how mature u r. ur mom will know u truly learned ur lesson by u not worryin about it just act as if nothing really happened cuzz if u try 2 act more mature or responsible she'll know it it's hard 2 explain but the same things u do ur parents did 2 but got away wit it and payed 4 it later and she just doesn't want u 2 do something that might come back and hurt u later in ur life. so just 2 get ur mom 2 trust u if u don't have ur parents trust then u can't really do anything.

You show her by doing as she wants you to do.
Being responsible is a thing that is going to stalk you every day of your life. Skipping school is a dangerous thing to do nowadays. I can imagine how it would have scared your mother to know that you were NOT where she thought you were and anything could have happened to you in that time. To know something happened to your child, getting hit by a car or assaulted, puts a particular fear into a parent, and that is what your mother is responding to.
Please don't be angry with her for wanting to protect her baby. There's a quote I've always loved. "Motherhood is having your heart walk around outside your body." It is SO true!
How about you ASK your mother for something specific you can do to start rebuilding her trust and help to bring her out of this deep fear she has?
Something simple like going to the store for her to get the milk or bread, or taking the mail to the post box. Tiny baby steps and eventually you will earn back the priviledges you have lost.

Do what your asked around the house and help out without being asked is a way to show responsibility. To show you are mature enough try getting a baby sitting job if your old enough. If you can prove these few things then you will be fine. Never argue with your parents cause you will never win. I always got the same story *I was your age once and I did those things too*. I learned that my parents were right and now as a parent myself I see what they were always saying. Believe me they are there to teach us and guide us not to screw up. It also helps to have a close relationship with your parents! Sit and chat with them about when they were your age! What did your grandparents to do to them when they did wrong. You will learn allot by listening. Some stories are pretty funny but interesting. You learn what to do and what not to from their past! Good Luck!

Mom loves you and wants the best for you. She doesn't want you to jeopardize your future by skipping classes. You will need to act responsibly and show that you have learned your lesson. An excellent report card will likely prove this to her. You can also behave in a mature and responsible way and treat your mom with respect by showing that you will follow her instructions. When she gains more confidence that you are doing well, she will likely ease up on the restrictions.

being a mom i have a little different view on some things the only thing i know to tell you is go straight to school an come straight home for a couple of months this may instill the trust back to you it is a scary world out there an as parent we love our children so much we dont want anything to happen to them and if your mom got a call an was told that you had been in a accident she would of told them no my daughter is in school then there would be no one there for you.

How's she stopping you from going anywhere gonna stop you from skipping school? Talk to your mom about doing a trial of trust where she lets you go somewhere such as movie, mall, out to eat, etc and set a curfew. If you show proof like a movie stub or reciept from restaurant/store and come in by or before curfew you can start building up trust. But you have to be completely honest of who, when and where or you'll blow it and it can take years to earn trust again.

You know your mom way better than we who respond to you. What kind of actions on your part would make mom notice that you're trying? Maybe checking in with her (don't make her harrass,spy, pry), share your thoughts & intentions regarding your school/social plans. You are in the power position here, to re-establish better communication, the basis of the relationship. Perhaps you can begin by approaching mom w/sincerity, let her know you want to try. Like any relationship, it's ok to ask for the partner's input: "ma, what kind of actions would make you happier? Help me see how to reestablish your trust in me." With this may come a new chapter in your dealings w/mom. Good luck.

Listen to what she says. I mean, I understand. I am a parent. She's just worried about you. She'll let you go again, it's just a matter of time. Promise!

Depends on where and how she caught you. Also, your age... His age... lots of circumstances can make a decision then.. but if you was my daughter, staying at home would be the least of your worries.....and his ..

Be more responsible and mature and eventually your mother will come around and restore some of your privileges.
