Well, for me, I earn their trust firsthand. You know, it'd be easier for us to do what we want (of course, still, we should know our limitations) if our parents trust us. And I earned my parents' trust by following whatever we've decided together, like if they asked me to go home after a party at 10 PM, then I go home at 10 pm. My point is they give rules because they are also trying to test us on up to what extent we would obey them,if we proved ourselves worthy of that, then they loosen up, maybe not instantly but surely, by time, they would. So, just follow what they say, explain to them your side, or better yet, compromise. Do not rebel, absolutely not. Just talk with them nicely. Chill it up, they just want the best for us (at least the "best" in their point of view) anyway.

yeah. my  parents are really strict especially I'm their only daughter and all my brothers are so pasaway.

....I admit I'm also like my brothers "pasaway" but they don't know all of my hang-outs and all of my craziness....I know they trust me a lot that's why.

I drink, I smoke, I had a special someone (before, cause it's over now), I watch movies with my friends without asking them, I travel around, etc. and they didn't know all about it.

well! maybe I'm just good in hiding all these stuffs to them. That's why and with all these things I study hard so that they wouldn't think or surmise that I'm doing some crazy things in my life.

me? I just cry if they don't want my decision and they only wanted to be the BOSS... I can't react it's just that sometimes I sneak and if they knew about it they'll give me a very loooong discussion... their the one's who get tired of it doing all over and all over again so they just allow me to, but only limited...

Wow! My parent is strict it's just that I can sneak so I can pass through the door and I can do whatever I wanted

My parents are strict and way traditional but then right now, they're trying to adapt some modern ways so that they can understand the young ones more. So, I just earned their trusts first and then obey what they want me to do but if I know that its too much, I just speak what my mind says and I need to have a strong stand to it so that they'll accept it and allow me what I want to do with it. Just be yourself and communicate with your parents. That's the best way in dealing with parents nowadays (that's what I think hehe)
