Question by Amanda: I need help, how does trust work in the relationship between parents and teens?
I’m 15 and have a good relationship w/ my parents. Fortunately, I think this is very important. We trustt each other. But unfortunately I have friends who have a kinda bad relationship with their parents. Some of them complain the want their parents trust but don’t get it because they messed up and lost tehir trust. But they don’t mess up any more. Some people say if you lose your parets trust then it’s hard to get it back. If this is true, this is kinda unfair and cruel, because everybody makes mistakes. And parents should consider their kids efforts to change. So, if this is true, it’s also true that if you mess up once you’ll never have your parent’s trust again. Is that the case? Well, every teen makes mistakes (I did) at some point of their lives, so does this mean no teen has his/her parent’s trust and no teen can get it back? Isn’t this against love? Such things make me scared and worried, I can make a mistake.

Question posed by growing4inhim@sbcglobal.net: Looking “how to find”sponsors to help teenage boys in “Horse Therapy” ,this is a cool tool
There is a boys home(been around at least 30 years) in the city I live in that is running in the “red financially” and has lost it’s funding for 10 boys who have been getting “horse therapy” for their emotional(ANGER,OUTBURST ETC.) needs. This has really been helping them. The company that does this, I’ve know for a long time and I am looking to help them find sponsor ships for the young boys. this is my first time doing something like this on the web or any where. I would like to help this ministry. But I especially would like to help children {with out permanent homes or parents} in need.

check your local car dealerships, the owners ( depending on who they are and where they are located ) can sometimes help. we have a few dealerships here that have been around for a long time that have local owners. they like to support local charities and programs since it gives them good publicity. ( it helps if the owners are big outdoors people.
I m glad to hear you want to help out this group. Isnt hippotherapy great!

its gonna be very hard! but your gonna need to be strong right from the start and lay down the rules and what you expect of them and so forth. They may start acting out and you’ll need to put your footdown ASAP on that. Make sure that they understand that you and your husband are now in charge and that while you love them and want them in your family… you would take any trouble from them. Try not to be too much of a mom, you dont want them to think your replacing her, Be a sister but one with authority and who is in control.

Its very hard. If your parents help you out with the baby, know that you are a lucky person .
The concept to remember , you are growing up yourself , taking care of a baby is a tremendous responsibility if you are doing this by yourself .

Question posed by John S: Can parents with teenagers or twins help me please?
I have a male-female pair of twins that are almost 13. My wife has been religios about watching them in the pool when they have friends over and we’re considering not allowing them to have friends sleep over on the same night. I guess my question would be: What measures should we take now that our kids are becoming teenagers, and are we doing the right thing?

Answer by mommyto3rugrats
If you arent comfortable with it just yet, then dont allow it.. Just remember, You cant separate them from the other sex forever.. Just make sure you are conscious of what is going on in your house all the time when they each have a friend over.
Best of luck

A question from crankj92: What do you think of my theory? It’s about parents and teenagers, can you help?
I’ve been thinking maybe one reason teenagers -normal ones- clash with their parents is because suddenly the parent isn’t a god anymore.
Think about it. For the last ten years, you had all the answers. You could make it all go away with chocolate milk and a hug. Now, quite suddenly, you’re an insufferable moron in your offspring’s eyes. Not only that, but even on a good day, s/he honestly just doesn’t need you as much. S/He can and will walk to school, for example. S/He can just go out to a movie, and doesn’t need you to be there. S/He would honestly just rather go hang out with his/her friends than play catch or Monopoly with you.
My second theory is that it’s also largely concern for romantic areas, as well as possibly a little defensiveness. Your kid is falling in love. You’ve been in love before, and you’ve been rejected. You see your kid moving in that place and you want to protect him. You also maybe see it as something of an invasion.
(Continued from above)
Also, you see every mistake you ever made potentially happening again in your kid, so you want to keep your kid safe, so you end up clashing.
But mostly I think the first one. It also gets to be that your kid is getting to where his tastes differ from yours. He likes Metallica, and you can’t stand that screaming garbage. He’s painted his room red when it looks terrible to your eyes. He wants to wear _those_ kinds of clothes. And you can’t really stop him the same way you could when he was six.
I’d like more answers from parents if possible.
