How can my boyfriend and I gain trust from my parents?
I am a girl and I have been with my boyfriend for about three months now. We are both 16. A rule is that a parent must be home if he is over at my house or vice versa -- which I think is completely reasonable. However, my mom seems to not trust me at all, assuming that even with a parent home, my boyfriend and I will get into some sexual things (which, of course is possible for teens to do without getting caught but still). I just wish she would relax and realize that we aren't going to do anything bad. When we hang out we usually just watch a movie or play video games and cuddle. I do know for a fact that my mother lost her virginity at a young age and I guess fears that I will do the same -- but I just wish she would stop assuming that I do the same things she did. I do have an older sister who dated while she was in high school too, but I'm pretty sure my mother trusted her more so than she trusts me. Plus, I have done nothing to even lose her trust in the first place -- she has no reason not to trust me! Should I talk to her about it? I feel as though she'd just yell at me. Or should I just wait it out and see if anything changes? She seems to act very suspicious of my actions with my boyfriend and I don't understand why. It's almost as if she gets mad at me for doing something that hasn't even happened yet.
Thanks, sorry this was long!

I completely understand. Maybe your mother is more overprotective of you as you Are younger and she still sees you as her baby girl. If so, speak to her about calmly and explain to her that you are willing to understand why she feels that way if she listens to you. Talk about trust and how you would never break it. Speak from your heart what you are feeling. Ask her why she doesn't trust you? Or you two together? And give reasons. If they are reasonable then kind of negotiate and come with a compromise
