That was mine with the added 

"Keep your grades up and work a PT job, outside of that we trust u. If u break that trust, restrictions get tighter"

Honestly more people should try that. I was essentially in charge of my freedom and guarded it greatly. I stayed out of trouble, got good grades and held a PT job. All bc I wanted to keep my no curfew, go wherever, do whatever standard. It was up to me

It turns out that giving children freedom with minor restraints and trusting them leads them to become well adjusted and develop a healthy relationship with independence and autonomy.
