Bad choices but I've changed

Last year at school I made realy bad choices. My mom pulled me out of school for a year (thank god). I have changed a lot. I want to make good decisions and I have a totaley difrent view on whats right and wrong. The problem is that my mom wont give me the chance to prove that I have changed. I understand that shes scared but how am I ever going to prove that I've changed if she wont let me leave the house?

Well I think you should sit her down and talk to her. Obviously what you say will not be totally convincing, but you need to SHOW her that you can be responsible and make good choices around the house, and as you SHOW her that you are improving, you will earn more privileges, and also more opportunities for you to SHOW her how much you have changed. Let her know how you feel, and ask her for small chances to prove yourself. Good luck!

parents are like elephants they never forget. Best thing to do is to show her that you are gwoing up. get a part time job. save money up to help around the house or for collage or university. even start doing voulentter at a local church or nursing home so that it makes her know you are not just thinkin about yourself.

thanks yall have hellped a lot.

well!!! same to me thou mine wasn't as bad as keeping me at home for a year. it's just that I didn't make my paper's and am reciting to get literature and government because am an art student bt she keep's singing it to everyone that I am a failure and it's really embarrassing...how I wish she'll believe that I am a bad girl gone good
