I'm completly straightforward with my parents. Let them know exactly what's going to happen and how much of it I'm going to take part of.

I don't have that problem with my parents (they pretty much let me go wherever I want), but it's what goes down at home that is the problem. No, I don't have family drama, rather my parents just NEVER LEAVE THE HOUSE. To make matters worse, my room is in the center of our apartment, and sound goes through the walls of every room like there were no walls at all. So basically they only time that I can have any action at my place is when my parents go on vacation by themselves (i.e. never). It sucks, but one more year and I'll be out of here.

Man my parents were the main reason I was the AFC that I was. So I moved in with my mom. \o/ But I lied to get around it.

same with me. having friends over is fine. and ahving a few drinks, but thats it

psh u guys are lucky enough to be able to go out.

i've been thinking...my sister said my parents are happy to pay for college etc but only if i stay straight now. maybe i'll play it low for most of highschool so i can go to college and have to worry less about jobs and more about getting drunk and meeting girls...

 

[skumface]

Man over her in Europe parents dont care really what their kids do. Im allowed to go out whenever and go wherever its really cool. however, im moving to the USA in a couple of weeks so i hope it life over there is as active as it is here

Danno, You wouldn't be the eldest child would you?

I had the same problem in my teen years. And it was my mum who was the worst.

She freaked out when I started going out, driving, drinking etc

Basically, I just took it easy for a while to build their trust, and let them know that I wasn't an irresponsible jerk.

Then when they asked about what I was going to do, and who I was going with etc, I would just exaggerate it to them and let them freak out so then when I told her the truth, it wasnt so bad.

eg:
Mum:What are you doing? Who is going to be there? Will there be drinking? Will there be parents etc?

Me: Well, Im going to this dudes 21st, so TECHNICALLY there will be adults there, there will be a LITTLE bit of drinking, and I have heard rumours that there will be strippers, but I'm sure everything will be fine.

Mum: *Freaks out*

Me: Relax, I'm having a couple of beers with mates and watching the cricket. Chill out.


If you are going to act guilty and sneak around, they are going to treat you like you are guilty.
Best policy is being cool, honest and just telling them that you know they worry, but you will be fine.

It sounds stupid, but generally, the more you tell your parents about what you are doing, the less they really want to know.

You'll get there.

yeah thats what the other dude said, and i sprung the idea on my 19 year old sister and she started laughing. :-( of course my parents exploded when they found out she had sex at 18, and i'm 15 and my dad found a condom in my wallet and we chuckled about it so maybe things will be easier for me on the drinking/partying front.

Parents are always harder on their daughters (they have to risk losing their virginity)...my parents are really cool about me going to partnies and whatnot, but I still haven't checked them on me going on dates. I'm sure they'd be cool about it.

 

[Aznkid1030]

I have the same problem as you... just tell them honestly what you are going to do and curl up in a ball right after

 

[dannowillbookem]

lol okay heres the plan: be good. gain trust. then do that thing where u tell them ur gonna go do reallllly bad stuff then just say ur gonna go to a party and drink a beer.

that was a good plan.

Dude that sucks, If I tell my parents I'm spending the night at my friends house they automaticaly assume I'm going to be drinking... as long as its not at my house they are cool. Just tell them that you are going to get drunk no matter what... and you don't want to f*ck up your own house. Not the best advise...
