How can I get my parents to trust me about homework?

Last week, I got a reading assignment for a class. I get my reading done in study hall, so when my parents asked about what homework I had, I left it out because I always get it done within a day or two. Then my parents checked online where hw is listed, they found out I had reading, and they gave me a half-an-hour lecture about "expanding what I view as hw" or some ****. I was absent for two days, so my dad is having me make a list of my hw every couple of hours and is asking me about how much homework I have left every half-hour. THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY! My parents have been treating me like I'm 9 forever, and now they're treating me more like a little kid now than when I was 6 (no exaggeration. I didn't have to make a list when I was 6). What do I do? I'm almost 15 with straight A's btw.

Answer:
It is a sign of breach of trust in you by your parents!

They are doing their duty by checking whether you have your daily work properly or not. When you finish your home work properly, inform your parents immediately and continue to do so regularly and build the confidence in them.

When you remain honest with them, they would never ever ask you even a single question about your studies. It is difficult to start but easy to continue after some time, once you are accustomed.

This would bring peace to you as well as to your parents! You will enjoy your studies along with other extra curricular activities and your parents will also join you too!

Try it out!
give them a reason to trust you- build there trust.
hi
instead of having tehm ask u what hw u have, u can coome home and tell them what hw u have. then its not as bad. but u have all A's....
Count your blessings that your parents are that interested in you. That's why you have straight A's.
well think why don't they now and change it
well , talk to them and tell them how you feel, try to make them understand :)
Well earn there trust back by telling them that you do your reading assignments in study hall so you can have more free itme at home and then show them the completed work or tell tehm to listen as you explain the reading assignment while they are looking at the assignment so they can see you are telling them the truth. Also tell them that you feel that you are being treated like a child you want more responsibility.
How bad is this really? Do you know how many kids don't have ANYONE who gives a damn about whether they live or die, much less whether they do homework? Quit your complaining and thank your parents. Because of them and the "injustice" you claim, you will likely go to a nice college, get a great career, and have a very priveliged life. Just be honest and respectful, as they deserve.
Congratulations on your good grades!

I guess your parents want to see those straight A's coming. So many teens pay more attention to their social lives than their grades--and regret it later.

My parents were like that for elementary and jr. high, but as for high school, they told me I was on my own. They said if I failed anything, it would just be all the more time I would need to stay in school. I wanted out--so I did my work.
Well congrats on being an A student and on top of your work! If i were you , I would have an adult teacher sign my agenda that I put my homework in so they know your not lying. Then in study hall do a little of your homework and go home and finish it so they can see you were working on it.
It sounds like your parents want more than whats best for you, they are expecting you to be better than perfect. If you have straight As , you should just throw that in their face as often as possible. Tell them you know its important but you want to become a responsible adult some day so you would like to do it on your own.
i had exactly the same when i was at school.all you've got to do is what they want for a couple days and you should gain their trust again.i know how much it drives you crazy but the more you ignore them, the more annoying theyre gonna get!!
I never had that problem. Have you tried asking a counsel at school. They do sound over bearing. but probably only want your best. And they are seeing you leaving out a piece of info when years from now talking to a boss. I guess. Maybe it will calm down over the summer. hang in there, being a teen is the sh**** i went through it a long time ago. The other side is worth it. Then when your parents get old you can turn the tables on them.. we all get a bit forgetful. show this missive to your loving parents. Hopefully they have a sense of humor.
You get straight A's, and your parents don't trust you about your homework...that's ludicrous!
It's impossible to get straight A's if you don't do your homework (even though counts as a small percentage of the overall grade).

Tell them that you are a responsible kid that can handle your own homework by yourself.
They just want to make sure you keep your grades up. At this age your grades are on your permanent record they want to make sure you are getting everything done. My daughter has one B and the rest are As I keep on her about her math because that is were her B is and I want her to bring that up. They love you and they want the best for you so suck it up and talk to them in a nice tone and after a few weeks they will probley take it easy on you a little.
Have you had a track record of poor performance in school or late homework? We have to stay on our 10 yr old son about his homework because he has exceeded the school limit in the past. However, he has done a good job with it as of late and has gained back out trust. If there are no issues with late assignments, then we trust him more when it comes to things like reading, which can't be checked like written work. If there are issues, we stay on him about it.

This isn't because we want to be pests to our son, but because we care about his growth and learning curve. We want him to succeed in school so he can succeed in life. I suspect this is why your parents keep on top of your homework as well... because they care about you.

If you've had a good track record in school, then this is something you may want to discuss with your teacher. He or she may be willing to discuss this with your parents and reassure them they shouldn't be so concerned with your study habits. If you don't have such a good record, then your parents are likely justified in their actions.

Good luck either way... be a good kid and a good student now and your life will be much easier down the road.
Ask them to trust you to do your homework and that you are sorry that you lost their trust. Or make a list of your homework and tell them when you did it everyday for a few days. Then ask them to please start trusting you again. Your grades are very important in the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grades. Colleges and Universities want to see these grades.
You need to develop a better relationship with your parents, understand that they know what it takes to make it in the real world and that they go through the same type of questions in their day to day jobs from their bosses or clients. Sit your parents down and ask them if there was something that you did that caused them to question your homework. Be prepared to answer their questions too. Write down all your questions and think of some of your own answers and be prepared to answer all questions from your heart, also stay very calm and don't complain or it won't work. You need all the information that they will freely give you, remember that they love you and care about your future and to have a good future you need to understand why people (parents) do the things they do and you need a great education. When you get to college you will be basically your own boss, you need to learn to structure your studying habits now, to many kids wait till they get there and are not ready for onslaught of homework that hits them, that’s why there is a high drop out rate. Learn what you can now from them it will allow you to go places that many of your friends will never reach. You will be glad that you did. Good luck...
Totally understand man..it sucks being screwed by ur parentals. I'm like 14 n i have to do my hw in the kitchen w/ my lil sis n get tested on things after dinner like french spelling n math n crap.

create a time table. show it to them. go accordingly. it should make them trust you
If u have all A's then they should trust u. But see I was never good in school and I lied would sneak out they never really trusted me again. But they also never was on me about hw if they was maybe I won't have a kid at 16. So be lucky u have that. I would love to go back and have my mom be like that to me.
