Trust Issues ?

Question

What should I do if My mum don't trust me, I am a good kid in comparison to all my friends, I don't smoke or Drink or drugs and I am a top grade student in my school!.

Sure, I was late home once by like half an hour but that's not that bad Really??

But now she wont trust me to go out anywhere, I volunteer at the local youth center working with 5-11 year olds and I borrowed some art equipment for my CW (just paper and pens and paint) I asked and the youth-worker said it was fine, I came home and she thinks I stole them!

What do I do to make her trust me!?!

I'm 15 btw lol XD

Answer 1

She probably sees herself in you.  This may sound crazy, but why don't you invite her t go with you to the youth center so she can see what you do, and if you go out with some friends that already know her, invite her to go! Show her that you are a good kid.  Or she may be skeptical of your friends, so try having them over to your house.  And if that doesn't work, just tell her that you won't be around forever, and you want to have a close relationship when you're an adult, and not move out on the day you turn 18.

Answer 2

This is EXACTLY like my mom. I am so good and yet she still thinks im doing everything illegally as possible and the most illegal thing i've ever done is jaywalk. Its ridiculous. Parents don't trust their kids and soon the kids snap (like me) and want to rebel. Any parents reading this. . . TRUST UR KIDS or they are gonna snap and not care what you say. If parents already seem to think their kids are bad, then the kids are gonna figure that they might as well give them a valid reason for it. There is nothing you can do. Trust me, i've tried. Nothing works. Sorry.

Answer 3

Tell her to call the center and ask the worker.Then tell her she owes you an apology.

However we do not know what things you may have done in your past and if you have done things to make her distrust you, it will take yrs to rebuild that trust.

Answer 4

Do you have other siblings that aren't trustworthy?

She may be reflecting past experience on you. The key is to communicate. Be mature, sit down and talk openly with her. Without any outbursts.

Answer 5

Be insulted that she would even think that of you and let her know how much of a disappointment she is to you.  

Answer 6

Its not you she doesnt trust its the world - and back to the old 'cotton wool kids' syndrome.

To make her trust you - Im sure she already does, but I would continue to be the cool kid you are already.

good luck
