You just have to prove it.  Perhaps you have slighted his trust in the past, and he is having a tough time trusting you now.  Anyway, perhaps when you are a tad older the trust will come back.\n\nGood luck.

you answered your own question, seek counseling to resolve the issues you have with your father, this will take care of the authority issues you have with your current or any future male  boss

Belief is a very strong thing, I'm not sure that if you really thought about it you would be surprised that your decision upsets your parents. Although the freedom to choose is yours alone, I don't think you will easily get your dad to accept your faith. Just make sure you follow it because you believe it, not to make dad mad.

Try talking to them, show them how much you realy love and respect them, and try to compromise. Your family, specially your dad and mom, will always love you, even if they sometimes dont show it due to your unobediance or stubbornness.

Pray, and ask Him to show Himself real to you and your heart.  That is ok to do, you know!  He loves you enough to show the truth, and will lead you to peace.  I have asked Him to prove Himself mighty for my family in many tough situations, and He has never left me one doubt that He is in control, and loves me and my family.  He is as real as me or you, and all you have to do is love Him, accept Jesus into your heart, and ask forgiveness.  Blessings!!

Go with the one that will make you a better person...your dad. Getting nice stuff is very shallow and not a good reason. Time to grow up.

Talk to him, give him a certain time to be home, and come home even earlier than that if you can! Always call about once every 30 minutes, so your dad will know that you are safe!! Hope my advice worked!

You can not force anyone to do any tthing but in your effort to get him to realisewhat he is doing makes you feal this is honesty. If you arehonest about it and tell him to be honest with you, then you have done your best. He may not be honest back and you may not like that his actions especialy if they continue are the truth. Pray for a more obective view so you both see what is true.

Stop going out with him.  Your parents love you and want to protect you from harm. It's obvious that you know what you are doing is wrong and it's tearing you up inside.  Do the right thing.  Respect your parents if you ever expect them to respect you.  If you want them to trust you in the future, then be trustworthy.

show them that he is a good person and how well he treats you, thats really all you can do, maybe if they see those sides to him they will lessen up on the issue alittle bit and not judge him by the color of his skin, but by his character and as an individual, if not then remember that you will always love your parents and will want them to accept whatever life choices you make, but they wont always like what you choose and it is afterall your life and you and you alone have to account for your own happiness....*good luck*

well just let your parents know about him and let them see that you are a responsible adult by letting them know. you shouldn't hold it in and then they find out on their own and then it will all go down hill from there. that's my advice.

Support your son.  Let him know that you'll be proud, no matter his occupation.\nAs far as the bad attitude, listen to what he's saying.  Try to listen without judgement, without forming your responses while he talks.  Paraphrase back to him his thoughts/concerns, to make sure you understand.  Once he feels understood, he will be more likely to listen to you.  He may not agree with all you are saying, just as you may  not agree with him, but you'll be communicating!  That can't be wrong.

If I were the youth pastor, I would give the following response...\n\nTo honor your mother and father is not always to "obey". You could say, "Mother, Dad, I appreciate your input--I honor and respect your advice highly, but in this case, I think it would be in my best interest to..." What parent, in their right mind, would not feel honored? Parents want their children to make intelligent choices, not be micromanaged on every decision or dilema.\n\nNow, first, if you are under their roof, you are under their authority and care. You must take this in to account. If you live on your own, you are under your own rules for living. If you are under the legal age to live on your own, you are under your parents guidance and care.\n\nOK, let's say you honor your parent's wishes and skip the youth group event. What message have you sent? That you care about your parents will and opinion--even if it is wrong or goes against your faith. You value God's command to honor your parents--even though your faith has brought a division among the family. You have provided a far better witness of your faith by NOT attending, than you would BY attending. Do you see? Whatever you missed at the youth group event, God will restore one-hundredfold later because of your obedience at the present time.\n\nI would advise, don't go. And tell your parents it is because you honor their opinion. If they tell you to drop your faith in Christ, then you can break out the sword and say, "No." and go against their counsel.
