how do i mend the lost relationship i had with my friend?

Question

i met this guy named david at summer camp in 2003, we were friends until october 2005. since then i havent heard from him one time in almost 2 years. I recently talked to one of his close friends via yahoo and she says he had a lot of problems with behavior and got in a lot of trouble. He went to rehabilitation once on his own and once his parents forced him to go. His friend says that david is an entire different person. he's grown a lot, he doesnt get into trouble anymore, he has a girlfriend. However, his parents are extremely protective and don't want him hanging out with anybody from the old punk crowd, including me. How do i convince him and his parents that i have changed and that i can be trusted. please anybody with an answer would be helping me greatly. thank you.

Answer 1

Maybe you should ask his parents what you would have to do. They will respect you and maybe trust you if you let them know you only have your friends best interest at heart.
