How do I get my brother to trust me?

Time to talk…lay it out to him in a way that doesn’t point accusing fingers at him…Keep the subject on yourself. “I feel that…blah blah”…”I’m not like sister, and I’ve proved that by…blah blah blah”…see where I’m going? By keeping the subject on how YOU feel…how YOU view things…without pointing the finger saying “You’re too strict”…”You don’t trust me”…State how things are with you…That keeps him from feeling like he has to defend himself. Also, the suggestion that he allow you some priveledges to prove that you can be trusted…opening the door for more priveledges down the road.

What you need to do is discuss this with him. You can’t allow him to be too protective of you. All he wants is the best for you. And because he’s seen your sister go through all of that he can’t stand to see another one of his siblings suffer in the same way. Just talk to him. Do not do anything against his will. When you talk to him over time he will begin to see that what you are saying is correct. Just give it time and he will begin to loosen his grip. Hope I helped.

in short: you need to sit him down and tell him your at that age where you need more freedom and with him keeping this from you is making you feel sad and lonely..

start by requesting something small like an extra 30 mins to stay out and work from that…

you could even ask him that if you were to do more work around the house, after your homework of course if that would help him understand that your growing up and becoming more mature..
