about

While I am still young, I have had a great deal of life experience. It is from this that I give advice. I am open minded and try not to be judgemental. If I can help in any way, I will. Just ask. However, like everyone else in this world, I am not perfect. My advice may not always suit you, since my experiences are not the same as yours. If you want clarification on any answers I give, feel free to ask me. If you don't like what I said, or if I offended you, let me know. This is the best way for me to improve on my responses.

Thanks for looking at my page!

okay today i got suspended from school for 2 days. why you may ask? well i sent an email to my math teacher saying how math sucks an math is jacked up
well they somehow figure out it was me. and they suspend me.
the thing is on friday i am supose to go to a slumber party that i really want to go to!! so how do i make my mom let me go and still pay the consequences for what i've done? i need serious help and fast she is coming home in like an hour!!!

To be honest, you messed up. I know that isn't what you want to hear, but that is how things are.
However, it is apparent you accept that there are consequences. As a mother, I think that is very important. Problem is, I'm a rather easy-going mother (and my son is only 7, so I haven't run into this problem yet), so my reaction may not be the same as your mother's.
First, does she know yet about the suspension? If not, then you have a chance to make it all work.
Here is what you do: When she gets home, tell her "Hey, mom, I need to talk to you about something important."
She will probably be very surprised, because kids rarely say that to their mothers.
Tell her "I did something stupid today and got in trouble."
Honesty is great with moms. Tell her what happened and that you know it was wrong and you feel bad. Let her know that you are willing to face the consequences. Then tell her you don't want to disappoint your friend by missing the party, besides you were looking forward to it. Tell her you will take extra consequences after the party if she will let you go. Be willing to double your grounding or whatever it is. Then, do as she says. That will even help you in future situations because she will know your word is good.

Now, she may still not let you go to the party. If that is her decision, you need to accept it and not argue. If you avoid arguing this time, and do just what you are told, that will also show your mom that you are sincere in your willingness to take the punishment. Then, next time the punishment will probably be lighter.

Now, what I want to know is how you thought they couldn't track the email to you. Unless you have an email account that has absolutely no connection to your name and you use a computer that doesn't belong to you, it can be tracked to you. If you are going to cause trouble, either make sure you don't get caught or be ready to face consequences (like not going to a party you really wanted to go to).
