Honestly, only time is going to help this problem, even if they aren't giving you any chances to prove this, just hanging back and letting a little more time go by, your parents should come around when you least expect it. Just be patient, as a matter of fact, showing them that you're able to become a more patient person will help them trust you more. Hope this helps, and remember, always respect and appreciate your parents, they're the only ones you got:)

Try writing out all the systems it takes you to live every day. Like, the water that comes into the house to the electric-powered washing machine and combines with laundry detergent (that someone spent time and gas money on to pick up from the store) and dirty clothes that have been transported from your room to the machine. Note everything that has to happen just for the clothes to be washing in the washing machine. That is just for starters. When you break down every piece of your life like that, you are sure to find no end of ways that you can take responsibility for yourself and even lighten your parents load around the house. In fact, if you train yourself to be aware of and responsible for these systems of everyday life, you are more grown up than a lot of adults.

do exactly what they say. they tell you that you are grounded and cant go out listen. Dont go against them because that will only make them mad.
Try doing stuff around the house to help out. Things that you normally dont do. Dont just do those things though until they let you out of trouble keep doing those things. Keep your grades up and talk to your parents. Let thme know how you feel and at the same time listen to them and I mean truly listen. They are not grounding you because they hate you and dont want you to do anyhing. They obviously care and thats more than I can say for some of the parents out there. Just dont do things that make your self untrust worthy. Talk to your parents/ thats the best advice that I can give you on this matter. I hope that things go well for you hon.

Follow the Rules of you household. Realize that your parents want whats best for you and are trying to be good parents by holding you responsible for your actions. All of these things are Important when for you finally become an adult.

Spend your grounded time doing things that they would like you to do, even some things that you don't necessarily like doing: cleaning the garage, dishes, your room (without being told), bringing your grades up...the list can go on. Part of responsibility is doing things that are right or constructive, even when you don't really feel like it.

honey, being responsible is stepping up and doing the things you have been taught without being asked or told. that's as simple as i can say it. my son is in the same boat, an i just want to see him act with a little more thoughtfulness to the way we are raising him. i shouldn't have to remind him to do his chores, to keep his room straightened up, to respect our home and family. to act a little more grown up. does this help at all? i know i really appreciate when he cleans the messes he makes. when he finds the laundry hamper for his dirty clothes, instead of the floor.........and when he asks his friends to be a little more respectful of our home, etc.
good luck honey. you're just growing up..............you'll figure it out!

by taking on responsibility. you know what has to be done in your home. start by helping with that. then prove that you can get good grades. don't lie and sneak around. face up to the troubles that YOU get yourself into. admit when you do wrong. think before you do and weigh right from wrong and act accordingly. it isn't easy, but that is what responsibility is.

Well, first of all, dont't fall victim. You prove it by doing your responsibilities. Do what you are supposed to. It takes much time for them to retrust you don't be caught up in ways you can win their trust and can prove you will be responsible. Forget it, and be good.

The easiest way for you to prove that they are wrong.,try to do household chores like washing the plates.,cleaning your room,doing the laundry.,etc..this way..even if you're grounded.,your parents would realize that you should not be staying at home.Follow my advice 'coz it worked for me when I was still in college.

The only thing I can add to the good advice is to be responsible and make good decisions consistently - not just when you want something. It is the consistent good behavior that shows them you can be trusted.
