Best friend issues

So basically heres the lowdown…I recently got into a little trouble with my besties and so my paretns don’t allow me to hang out with them anymore. They didn’t really like them anyway because they think that they’ve been a bad influence on me but there my best friends and I’ve known them my whole life. What really bothers me is that my parents think that they can just cut people out of my life like that. And then im going off to college in like a year and they are both going to be in college next year (there a year older than me) and they are getting an apartment. They also want me to live with them when I go to colleege and I know that my parents will be agianst it. But its hard because I miis hanging out w/ them and they miss me too and its not really fair I think that my parents can cut people out of my life that that. Advice on what to do would be great.

Answer #1

You already acknowledge they’re a bad influence on your life - life is choices - depends upon if you care enough for yourself to make good choices or allow yourself to be steered into a downward spiral - your choice.

Answer #2

Well I dont know what kind of trouble you got into but from personal experience I’ve been in your place. I was “bestfriends” with this girl who got me into trouble after trouble. And I did terrible things, that make my stomach queze just thinking about it. My parents banded me from seeing her and I remember I was so angry but the truth is now I look back and just wish I was never even friends with her. I know you’ll probably hangout with them anyways because if I put myself in your shoes I would do the same and I know this advice sounds clichee or corny but trust me if they got you into trouble there probaly not that good of friends anways. I know you say they miss you and you miss them but I mean thats how I was. I dont know just giving you some personal experience, Im young too. But if you decide to hangout with them anyways which I reccomend not to just be good and use common sense. gain your trust back with them ask your parents for another shot

Answer #3

just be really good and tell your parents you understand why they made this decision. then they might think you have matured a bit. its going to take time but if you want to hang with them again thats what I would have done.

Answer #4

dont do bad things with those friends .only hang out with them when they are not doing bad things. tell your parents you wont do anything “bad” and then dont.

Answer #5

listen to your parents…u dont want to be having kids going agianst ure own advice..ihve read what you said..those friends osund real dodgy(fishy) to me…im not judging and neither are ure parents ure the one who should be doing that..newyas be safe

Answer #6

Your parents are trying to protect you, on the other hand if you’re going to college you’re probably old enough to figure out who you should be hanging out with… It’s complicated because you are still dependant on your parents… I wouldnt push it by insisting on living with them… But hanging out with them doesnt seem unreasonable… Try to talk to your parents. I mean at the end of the day you are responsible for your actions, and they might not like that, but its true. You got into trouble, your friends didnt force you…

Answer #7

just be really good and tell your parents you understand why they made this decision. then they might think you have matured a bit. its going to take time but if you want to hang with them again thats what I would have done.

Answer #8

what kind of trouble did you get in exactly?? this might be the reason that they’re acting like that.

Answer #9
