How can I get my parents to trust me with rats?

Last year my parents bought me a horse and I took care of him and saw him everyday until my dog passed away and I was hit with a wave of depression and then I didn’t leave my room other than to go to school and work. My parents now don’t trust me with the responsibility of a couple rats, how can I get them to trust me again? I’ve started cleaning without them asking, doing all my homework, offering to do stuff that they usually do, I got 2 fish and one died but we have no idea why, I’m going to counselling every week, and I don’t cut anymore. I’ve wanted rats for a few years now and both my older siblings had rats but they didn’t take care of them well and that has put my parents off them a bit

How do I get my parents to trust me again?

Here are some general suggestions I make to younger teens in case you might get some helpful ideas from them. Ask to have a serious discussion with your parents about how they see things panning out in the coming months and years. It needs to be fairly rational, so if one of you becomes too emotional (e.g. angry) it would be best to time out and try again another time. Prepare in advance what you would like to say and ask: write a plan, even. 

As you reach each birthday, for example, or each new school year, what rights, freedoms and responsibilities will you have? Chores, pocket money, curfews, dating, etc. will all come into it, obviously. You can't really expect something for nothing, so think about what you can put into the family and household as part of your negotiations as to what you can get. 

If you are to grow into a responsible adult, it must be a gradual process: if they keep you wrapped up in cotton wool and then suddenly let you out of the box at eighteen, you won't have enough experience to know how to handle it. 

That said, your parent(s) is/are responsible for your safety and welfare during this time: no doubt they love you and they themselves have the experiences you don't yet. Seeing things on t.v. and hearing your friends' (exaggerated?) stories aren't quite the same. 

If they don't want to do this, ask them if they will please consider a plan and talk again in a week or so. All plans need to be a little flexible, as unexpected things can happen, of course. 

Hopefully this will show that you have a maturing attitude to your family and your life.  

Good Luck!

How to make my parents trust me again?

Ok, I am 15, but don't jump to the "oh you're too young" excuse, I have older friends who I have seen get hurt, etc. and I know how to handle myself, and I am very bright. Anyway, my parents lost trust in me bc I was seeing this guy they did not approve of and sometimes I lied to them about where I was going to be able to see him, and they caught us making out and caught me with a hickey on my neck. They completley lost all trust in me but since I havent seen him in a while they've been gaining it back. However I still really want to see him and hang out with him, and do normal stuff like go for a run or play basketball, but they won't even let me do that. I have other guy friends that invited me to hang out also on multiple occasions but i was never allowed to go bc my mom is crazy. Literally everywhere i go, she asks who im with, what time i'll be home, where in going, what were doing, ik shes being a good parent but its excessive sometimes.. Once she actually let me drive with an older friend and 5 minutes after i had left she texted me saying, "i hear sirens are you ok" What can i do for them to earn back trust and let me hang out with my friends again and not be so clingy and uptight?!

How can I get my parents to trust me with driving?

If the teen court matter has something to do with driving, then your parents should certainly drive you. Your parents would have to pick you up if the court decides to suspend your license. But, it sounds like it's for something else.

For convenience, lets say there's two levels of trust: (1) their trust in your ability to safely operate a vehicle, and, (2) their general trust in your ability to act responsibly. Until you can purchase a car and maintain it, you are dependent upon your parents ability to be able to trust you in all things, not just driving. If your driving their car, or a vehicle they have a need to use even occassionally, don't you think they would have complete say so about whether or not you can use the vehicle? Heck, I know adults who would not let their adult friends drive their vehicles.

If you needed the car to go to your grandmother's funeral, it might be different. But, here, you are going to teen court. Your parents probably want you to learn a lesson and not being able to use the car might be part of the lesson. The pot thing was kind of childish; but you probably see adults doing that kind of thing on TV all the time, and your parents probably do to and wouldn't think it too childish, perhaps.

I would ask politely whoever's going to drive you if they let you drive while they ride as passenger so that you can show them you are a safe drive and earn their confidence.
