The idea is to make parents trusting of us, and to keep them involved in our relations, just so that they know, who we are with, from time to time.
Why or why not, should parents be given this info?
Chime time!

I think that parents should know the children's whereabouts. In case if any thing happens, who are they going to call? And besides, if a person is not doing anything bad or 'chilling' out with bad ppl, then why should he/she be afraid to give his/her parents info about his/her whereabouts.
yeah same here. Trust doesn’t come wrapped in a bag. You have to earn it. Although I sometimes don’t carry a cellphone around, my parents know where I am and who I am with.
absolutely true.
i wish all people in their teens and 20s did that.
in fact i think, when we tell our parents we where we are going and what we are doing, we feel a pure conscience & also we feel pretty confident about the sort of people we spend time with.

Yep. By Grace of Allah my parents trust me enough that if I go out for couple of hours, they will not be checking on me every 5 minutes to see where I am. One factor for successful relationship between parents and children is that children have to earn their parents trust and parents have to trust their children. No1 should lie to no1.
so. i had to work really hard to build on my parents’ trust..because i have a ton of siblings who screwed up. and knowing that i HAD to keep my parents in touch with my activities…i have become a person who’ll tell them the highlights..and minor details. they know about 10 of my friends very well, and often times, when i am about to go hang out with the 11th one, i just substitute false details from one of the 10’s. aware that it is wrong, i know that i myself am not about to go do anything wrong, yet my parents still fear it. so, why should i leave them to worry? :halo:
