Why Don’t My Parents Trust Me?
Why don’t my parents trust me?
All they do is pester.
They just don’t get the point.
Give me your phone; give me your account information.
I think it gives them some type of controlling sensation.
Why don’t my parents trust me?
I’m old enough to know what’s right, and what’s wrong.
I’m old enough to know when my parents trust me and when they dont
Why don’t my parents trust me?
Did I do something wrong?
I’m 15 and still have parents treating me like a kid.
Why don’t my parents trust me?
Oh, honey it’s not that we don’t trust you.
Were just trying to protect you.
You don’t understand there’s dangerous people
You’ll understand when you have kids of your own
You think we don’t trust you, but we really do.
You’re just not seeing things through.
Please understand were trying to protect you.
No you’re not trying to protect me.
You’re ruining my life by getting in my life.
You really don’t understand.
But we do honey, we do...
Please believe us.
My parents told me why they don’t trust me…
It’s just to keep me safe.
But I’m 15, almost an adult I think I know what’s wrong and right
I still may never understand clearly why they don’t trust me.
I probably never will.
My mom seems to THINK I will when I have kids of my own.
But until then, I will always wonder….

Why don’t my parents trust me?
