How do you earn your parent's trust, when you you always fail?

Question

you know, things don't always work out, no matter how hard you try...if you tried but didn't succeed, is that failure?

Answer 1

Earning one's trust whether it be that of your parents,brother,sister,or friend,for that matter....
The answer,to put it quite simply,-is to be respectful of them,loyal,"taking responsibility" for YOUR own actions and judgement,-and so here I say,-is TO NOT BE A WHINY.

Things may not be "perfect".
But you work @ it.
You do what's "right".
You learn from PAST mistakes.
Not succeeding after trial & error,should be considered "lessons".
Not "failure",necessarily.

Once you start making the SAME mistakes over & over again....
well,-you outta know there's something terribly wrong,there.

To earn your parents trust,- you be the best person you can be.

Answer 2

If you tried and didn't succeed at a goal, then yes, that is failure, but you shouldn't feel all that depressed. As long as you try (and are honest with your parents), you should gain their trust. When you tell you parents the truth, they are more likely to see you as mature and will give you more responsibility. Good Luck!

Answer 3

If you tried then you didn't fail. As a mom I can say positively that the more my teenage daughter complains that I don't trust her the less I trust her.

When she says things like "it's not fair" or "you don't trust me" or (my fav) "how will you know you can't trust me if you don't let me do it" then I trust her even less.

When she's doing her best without all the pissing and moaning about it then I add responsibilites and privileges that go along with being more trustworthy. She doesn't have to be perfect to be trusted. She just has to act in a mature way.

Answer 4

Find one thing TO succeed in, to gain their trust. Pick something you have confidence in (like getting a good mark in a certain class that you are good at, coming home on time, having a good attitude, etc.) If you show them in one area that you can succeed, perhaps this could open the doors to other areas. Good luck!

Answer 5

Yes it is failure...the only way to gain their trust is to prove to them you can be trusted. It won't be easy if you have lost their trust time and time again. Just prove to them, "I am responsible and trustworthy." You start by following their rules, whether you like it or not. If they same home by 11 then be home by 11. Not 11 :01 or 11:30. If you show them you respect them, then trust isn't too far away.

Answer 6

Failure is when you don't try. You know "Nothing beats a failure but a try." Keep trying and re enforce your effort with acclamations of love.

Answer 7

it depends not true in a lott of cases but if you see it as a failure than it most defiantly will be seen that way by others to!so relay its all up to you to Begin with. don't see yourself as a failure and others wont either

Answer 8

remember one thing, your parents love you no matter what happens, but it does not mean you should take advantage. well i would start by doing your chores on time and show them that you're on time for school, bedtime, and showering. and just go by their rule. you can always save up to buy something absolutely nice for your parents. there are many ways. good luck!

Answer 9

at least you tried some people dont do that at all just keep trying and try to live your life right if we did not make mistakes how could we learn love your parents and love yourself learn from your mistakes and keep on living have a good weekend

Answer 10

How hard IS it to be trustworthy, really? It's called DOING WHAT'S RIGHT. Do this for a long time, and your parents will trust you.
