No More Life
2 weeks ago (to the day) I got grounded for acting like an idiot. I screwed up big time. I'm in trouble pretty much for saying I was at a friend's house and then leaving her house to hang out with other people. My parents were pissed beceause they couldn't find me for 2 hours. Understandable. But I have nothing. I'm not allowed on the computer (shh dont tell lol) I can't use the phone, go places, have people over, and they took my cell away. I'm going insane not being able to talk to people. They won't even tell me how long I'm grounded for. They keep saying that I'm grounded until they feel that I have proven to them that I can be let off of punishment. What exactly can I do to prove this? I've been cleaning and doing all that shit. I have a job, I'm active in sports, get decent grades. Honestly, most parents want a child like me. I mess up once in awhile, everyone does, but everytime I do they like spazz on me (usually when i mess up tho its pretty bad..) I just want to frikin be able to do something! i feel like i'm in prison except its worse because i have no one to talk to, i cant go outside, and i have no phone privilages. I'm going crazy!

Maybe give some free advice about: Parenting?
sounds to me that thats why they are spazing out when u do somthin wrong cause u never do anything wrong! so when u do it's like wow she never has done that before so yea there ain't much u can do just talk to them like i did and just learn to get off punishment and stuff like that and see it didn't go over so smothly for me i tried talkin to her then i just got good at gettin off grounding took my beatings and just lived with it and just kinda showed her that there were only a very few amount of things she could do or take away that would really make me mad or make me regret what i did so i would just suggest just start pretending u don't care what they do to u that it don't hurt u and don't care
good luck

Dude, you sound like what happened to me once...
Here's what I did:
I sat down, researched grounding (what works, what doesn't) and wrote my parents a 2-page typed (single spaced), five paragraph persuasive essay, explaining to them why they should lift my grounding.
It really worked. I did the whole "sincerely, your daughter __________ <-- my name" thing, and printed it out. Use a professional looking font, check for spelling errors and all that...
my parents were impressed with my effort, and lifted the grounding. Lol.
Give it a shot. Your parents sound kind of like mine.
Hope I helped!

WOW thats exactly like my parents.. Just say straight out.. i messed up everyone does.. Its a mistake.. im being responsible n say everything u said in here

urgh! Parents. the worst! But you can get past it. Cleaning and warming up to them and all that is fine. The best thing right now is to be gooooood all day and by the end of the day, or at any point of the day when both parents have the time to be sat aside, talk to them. Apologize sincerely, list your faults (KNOW WHAT TO SAY!), give reason in why you should be ungrounded, tell them you've learned your lesson and tell them exactly what you WILL do next time. Explain you understand how terribly wrong you were and that if they think 2-3 more days is necesary you can understand that, just remember stay calm and dont let it turn into a fight, tell them you understand the factors of responsibility. Use big words, offer to do some chores, apologize.

dear no more life,
parents have this jean in them to freak out at their children for acting like children. if you
know what i mean. well they are just overprotective. they think that you can always do better than you are even if you can't. so my mom flipped also like that. i just told her that i can't be bound by her barriers and that im
not a perfect angel like she thought. and that i
mess up too. that didn't take her protectiveness
away but it helped. you should just talk to your
parents and tell them that you mess up just like
any other person. and that you'll do your time
but you need to know when that'll be over. and that you love them very much but you need them to
understand that you aren't a perfect angel. so
good luck hope i helped.

Have a talk with them, tell them that you're extremely sorry. What you did was irresponsible, and tell them you understand that. Ask them for an hour on the computer and three phone calls a week. Help when you don't have to, eventually they'll let you out. =D

wut u need 2 do is continue to show ur parents that u r responsibile and continue 2 show that u will neva do anythin like that again and stand by your word and don't do it again!! make sure they can trust u again!!
Good Luck!!
