Hey everyone lately my parents have had no trust in me no faith in me it seems like half the time my mom want's to make me feel like shit they don't even trust me to keep my job and i don't know what to do anymore. Half the time i wana run away but my best friend tels me if i do i won't get my colledge inheritance and thats about the only thing keeping me here. What should i do?

What reasoning have you given them not to trust you?

i had cell phones 3 years ago and ran up my bill now they hold that against me still i got a few low grades crap like that stuff from way back and they don't even give me a 2nd chance

sounds like my mom :p sorry about the rents, you wont be under their rules very much longer..

Thats how many parents are actually. They will bring up examples that have happened a few years ago. You just need to show them you've matured. Bring up some of your crappy grades, or actually hold your job. Start to help around the house. Do something to make them appreciate you being there.

Show them up. And if that doesn't help. Slack like a mofo.

Yeah, I agree with motormouth on the first thing: Show them up.
Basically, think about all the things you would LOSE if you ran away.
College is an important part and it determines a lot of a persons future (If you are one of the unlucky ones that doesn't have rich parents, doesn't have a famous band by the time their 20 ish, etc) and it would be stupid to throw that all away because your parents are being a little iffy.

I'd say, just suck it up and show them that they should trust you. It'll take a while, yeah but in the end you'll make them look stupid.

Hi ALex, I see you have 134 'friends'. I hope some of them come forward with some advice to help you. I'm sorry, I can't offer any, just send you my best wishes, and hope for the best for you as soon as possible, Karl

Hi Alex, as mentioned by Raciee, college is a very important part of your life and it determines your future. It's not worth running away as that would only make things worsen.

I would say most parents would jump at their children if they had ran up their phone bill. Likewise for grades.

C'mon, we all made mistakes and that's not something new. Think of how to solve your problems.

The best way to get back at your parents is to proof to them that you're mature, responsible and independent. You're not what they thought of.

Afterall who doesn't want to be proud of their children and talk about them all day with their neighbors?

Wishes you all the best Alex!

show them that you are mature and responsible. keep your job and get your grades up, and most important, dont do anything stupid.
