help me plezzz?

Question

i think im going into depreesion! what should i do? i think its because my mom is real strict on me and she hardly lets me out of our house. i only go to school and come home and maybe sometimes go and stay with my grandma. its like that because i told her when i was 13 i smoked grass with my cousin. but i was honest to tell her before she found out on her own. and now that im 16 i dont get to do nothing! my relatives try to tell her that she's too strict on me but my moms old-fashioned
does anybody have any suggestions on what i should do to earn her trust

Answer 1

Hi there. Bide your time, prove to your mom that she can trust you in as many ways as you can. Be honest and open with her as best you can. Go out of your way to show her how hard you are trying to be mature and helpful and co-operative. Then, when you feel that your relationship is solid and you're communicating openly about stuff, be honest with her about the stuff that you'd like to do. Listen to her. Remember she is just being protective and controlling because she loves you and doesn't want you to be harmed.

But you do have to earn her trust. That means being proactive about it. Not just sitting back and waiting for it to happen. Be patient, it won't happen overnight. I fully encourage open honest communication with your mom. It makes being a teen so much better. Your mom can be your friend and ally. Don't shut her out and she won't want to deprive you of the fun you're meant to have as a teenager. Good luck!
