How can I get my parents to listen to me?

Down the road, you’ll be saying similar things about your teenager/s - why do they think they know everything ? why do they think they’re invincible ?….whatever the subject, approach them calmly, with respect (non-confrontational manner), and make your case….I wish you the best !!

i say have a camle talk with explianing that they need to listen to u they may not like it at first but thats because they dont want to amit that u are growing up and that u may be right and they cant be right all the time and if u want to try somthing u have to exprice it to see if its acuttaly worth doing good luck

Okay, I’ve done EVERYTHING. No my parents are seriously strict&overprotective. I’m going to be 16 in 2 months. They need to let go a little bit. Seriously. I’m flipping out over this…they make me insane. And no, I’m going to be a good mom, and I will never do this to my kids. I don’t knowww. I’m so mad. I do respect them, I do A LOT for them, and I never get it in return.

But its not her job to show that she doesn’t trust her daughter, thats the last thing a daughter wants to hear from her parent. Don’t shove useless consequences in your daughters face. I am 14 and I feel that having parents disappointed with me is much worse then consequences. You can snoop if you like put DO NOT overdo it. Thats when you start loosing the respect and trust from your troop and that dangerous territory. Just watch her for a while and talk to her calmly..DO NOT cut her off..EVER!! If there is one thing that I can tell you from my experiences, it is to listen to her and see everything in her eyes before you act. Hope this helps..

First off, they don’t have to listen to you, but….. Try telling them in a letter, and explain everything, let me know how it goes!

Whoops wrong question to post that..just ignore that..hehe.

Just wondering..do you listen to them?
