TRUST

Whenever you are no longer trusted by your parents life feels a thousand times more difficult. If you make a mistake you have to be willing to pay the consequences. The strict parent often never gives that trust fully back, and your left feeling the sting of regret. But how long should it take to gain your trust back? Who has the authority to say it's yours? And how much trust should every parent/teen relationship have? You have to be responsible enough to admit you messed up; not everyone can do this. If you can prove you won't make the same mistake again, then the trust should be yours to have. The parents often control the whole trust issue, but it's kind of their only hold on our lives. Like if they don't want us to be out at a certain place or with a certain person, they can say, "I just can't trust you!" But that doesn't mean we couldn't handle the certain place or person. The parent feels scared for the teen, but the teen is fearless. What common ground can parents and teens stand together? Both have to know one thing; EVERYONE makes mistakes, come on we are the human people. If you can love eachother and forgive eachother then you should be able to trust eachother!
