My parents don't trust me, how can I gain it?

[Christabel]

I'm so jealous you sound so much more secure than I was at your age! Haha anyway, you clearly sound like you have given them little reason to distrust you, so the only explanation is they love you very much and this manifests itself as overprotectiveness. Tell them that you want the Internet for school stuff and then gradually introduce them to the idea of Facebook. I can't believe they have no use for the Internet themselves! Anyway, you must have some Internet access right or you couldn't use yahoo? So wherever you made this account, use The Internet there. If you have a library you could go there or a friends house etc. and Facebook, trust me you aren't missing out on much. My parents banned me from using it til I was 16 and eventually I rebelled and got it anyway. Now I hate Facebook. I am completely addicted, it's totally boring and constantly distracts me from homework, not to mention makes me feel lonely. Facebook will bring your grades down! I'll admit it's fun to check now and then.

You get the idea, if your parents won't budge you'll have to think outside the box to find Internet access, good luck.

Ps. Youll have left home in 2-3 years for college and you can have all the online fun you want then!
