I lost my parents trust multiple times and they now took all my devices away, what should I do?

[Faith_C]

I've messed up a lot in the past and I have a habit of lying and breaking my parent's rules. I never did any drugs or anything illegal but apparently I just have a, "sneaky personality". I want my phone and privileges back. I'm not allowed to go out anymore and I take classes online, I can't even use Pinterest. For some reason whenever I try to regain their trust I always end up messing up and self sabotaging. Please help I really need my freedom back!

Calmly approach your parents so that you can talk about the problem. Your goal is to determine why your parents took your phone away. If you don't know why your phone was taken, you will not know the best way to get it returned. What do you mean when you say "sneaky personality"? Did you do something bad or really break any of the rules and hurt someone?

You should also express your feelings and reflect on your parents’ complaints. Then, tell them how this makes you feel. Discuss your side of the story with them so they have a better understanding of why the mistake happened.

Then own up to your mistake (if you made one) and make a sincere apology to your parents

Clearly they didn't do too well if you are on here, and obviously you haven't learned your lesson cause you snuck on here lol

Ask your parents. If they gre up in the 1980s there were “no devices” and “no friends” when messed up.

Regret first, then learn, then renew yourself with a promise to do better.

Do you think maybe you need to work on yourself so you can better prove to your parents you are trustworthy?

Why do you struggle with it?
