    You have to learn how to play your cards right!

    Parents don't have to know everything about you...the part they do need to know is the responsible young lady they raised you to be. With being responsible comes acting mature. If you show that you're mature, you will get more perks! Just believe me on this one... You don't have to be an angel 24/7 but in front of your parents just think to yourself "if I keep my cool I'll get what I want.." so don't be stupid, and don't get caught being stupid. Would you give privileges to someone if they talked to YOU the way you talk to them? It's not likely!

    hehehehe..... well when I would say something smart to my parents, I would get pop in the mouth. I hated it at the time, but it did help me control my mouth. I guess corporal punishment worked better for me. anyways... just stop and think before you say anything. if everybody said the first thing that came out of their mouth, we will be fighting all the time.

    i don't really know because if it's a smart mouth then it sounds like sarcasm got you in trouble. I'd help you with that but I don't know how to cut sarcasm from my own daily routine XD The most I can say is just try.

    what I did to get over my smart mouth was to put a rubber band around my wrist and whenever i said something rude, I would snap the rubber band and trust me It works.
