Trust (信任) is a funny thing. But once it is lost, it will be very hard to get it back.

If you lose your parents’ trust, what should you do?

First, find out how you lose their trust. Did you do something they asked you not to do? Did you do something bad to any other person? If you were a parent, would you be angry with these things? Second, tell them that you won’t let them down again if they give you another chance. And do everything you can to show them that you are sorry. Third, do your best to be a better one and wait for their forgiveness(原谅). Lastly, if you are lucky enough to get your parents’ trust back, cherish (珍惜) it and don’t lose it again. Or you won’t have it any more.
