" How can I get my parents to trust me? I have more than a 4.0 grade-point average and never do anything bad. If I&amp;#039;ve never done anything really wrong, why do they seem to be angry with me for every little mistake I make?  Whitney, 16, Stockton, CA You and your parents want the same thing: for you to make all the right moves now so you can have a great life later on. There&amp;#039;s pressure that comes with goals that high, and you&amp;#039;re feeling it. Let&amp;#039;s get your parents to soften up a little. Next time things are calm around the house (not when you&amp;#039;re fired up about something), tell them you often feel like you&amp;#039;re disappointing them even though you try really hard to maintain good grades and stay out of trouble. Suggest that you guys make a list of things that are really important to them--stuff that you always keep in mind. Promise them you&amp;#039;ll do your best to uphold those things. Ask them if, in return for your efforts, they&amp;#039;ll just talk to you the next time you make a mistake instead of getting angry about it. This is a good approach because you&amp;#039;re not only coming to them with your problem--but also a solution. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
