How do I show my parents that I can be responsible and that they can trust me in everything?Give honest answer

Answer 1

Hi Gaby,

Here is my honest answer. The only way you can show your parents that you can be honest, and responsible is by BEING HONEST, AND RESPONSIBLE.

Obviously there is a reason that they don't trust you. Otherwise you would not have to prove yourself to them.

So I would abide by their rules from now on, even if you don't agree with them, they are only out for your benefit. Your parents love you, and want to trust you just as much as you want them to trust you.

If they don't want you to go out on school nights then don't. Ask them if you can have a friend over. If they allow you to go out and set up a curfew then always stick to it. Do your homework, keep your room tidy, offer to help around the house. Don't wait for them to ask you. I am only giving you some ideas. But you know your parents better, and what they expect of you, so I am sure you will come up with your own thoughts of what to do now that I gave you a couple of them.

Actions speak louder than words. Keep this up for about a month or two and you will earn their trust. But when you do earn it, keep it up, so they will keep trusting you.

I am sure you have had discussions about this with them already. Is it possible that whatever conclusions you came to during these discussions you did not keep your end of the deal? I am not saying you didn't. I am only giving you food for thought.

I know it is hard to be a teenager. There is so much peer pressure. But I will repeat, they want to trust you. They are not happy about the tension, and disagreements that permeates the home atmosphere.

Give my advice a shot, you will see how much more you will enjoy your parents, and they you.

All the best.

As a mother, grandmother and great grandmother I'll give you a very honest answer. You didnt say how old you are. I've always believed that parents should start giving their children responsibilty as soon as the particular child is ready to accept it. Expecting your parents to trust you in "everything" may be a little difficult. They know what the world is like, you're just starting out in it. Ask your parents what kind of responsibility they expect from you. Find out if you can accept more than they want to give you. Work on the trust issue a little at a time. When they see they can trust you and that you can take responsibility for your actions, I think you'll see they will be willing to trust you even more.

Answer 3

From a parent, trust & responsibility does not happen overnight. If you have done things in the past that lets them know they can not trust you; it will take a lot of time of you being responsible on everything small & large all the time. This includes picking up your shoes to letting the dog out, locking the door, picking up your sister from gym. No goof ups, no smart mouth, no talking back, no staying out too late, showing responsibility is being responsible all the time.

Answer 4

will clean up your room, do your laundry, do the dishes, take out the trash, and set the table would be a few ways to show your are responsible to your parents. but you shouldn't be ask to do these things though. trust is not an easy thing to do. you need to prove that you can be trusted. like if you promise your parents you will be home after school then make sure you are home after school or if you tell them that you will do your homework or even go out and say you would be back by 9pm (lets say) make sure you do do your homework and show them that you did and make sure you are home by 9pm. it's a few ways you can show your parents that they can trust you. I hope this helps you.

Answer 5

By being responsible and trustworthy. That defines into no lying, not even a "white" one. Complete tasks assigned to you by your parents. Show the love you have for them. But the one thing that parents respond to more than anything else from a child is asking them questions about life, their life, and what they believe is best for you. By the way, without sincerity on your part, then everything I recommended will be a waste of time.

Answer 6

Maybe start out with asking to speak to your parents about what they expect from you. Then you know exactly what you have to do. You don't need to be a suck up, respect them and their rules, ask for explanations of rules you don't understand, ask for compromise when you feel something is unresonable, you may not always get it, remember that. Don't be argumentative in your conversations with them. Go the extra mile sometimes. Bottom line follow curfews, follow the rules, show respect and love, be responsible in your own life, show them you care about yourself and them and want to do what's best for yourself and the family. Above all, be honest with yourself and them. If you screw up, and we all do, admit it, ask what can be done to make it right then move on.

Answer 7

That comes with time. Some parents will never trust a kid with everything.

Answer 8

You show them you are responsible by just being responsible.

However, if you point it out a lot or complain about you r limmited freedoms a lot it woun't help you much. Also, I agree, don't hide stuff from them. They alomost allways find out in the end and that just destroys their trust in you. Everytime you take a hit to their faith in you the harder it is to build it back up. If at all ...

Answer 9

well if you want to show some responsibility make sure you call them (parents) when you go to a friends house, parties or if u leave one friends house and got to another house. check in every once in awhile, and do chores without any body asking...it works!! *_*

Answer 10

get a job, have a few kids, pay your bills. thats a start. sometimes parants will never trust their kids due to mistakes that they have made in the past. if you keep on doing trustworthy things they might just wake up and understand you can hold your own.
