I don't know what to do --> grounded forever.
I got grounded on like... July 17th or somewhere around there. I know it's only been like a week and a half (2 this friday) but it feels like forever. What happened was... I said i was going to a friends house. My dad dropped me off and then I left and went to a party. This kid named rob, who i said i never wanted to talk to again, called my parents. He told htem I was drinking and "guys were trying to take advantage of me" which was not true at all. He got there to see what was happening and i started crying because he had done stuff to me and I didnt want him to before. (he had sex with me.. but i said no and shit) Well my parnets found me and now I'm grounded. Except I can't stand being grounded!! I need a parent's advice on what to do to get off groundment. I'm a good kid, I really am. I get kind of good grades (my last report card said i had a 91 for my 4th quarter ave) I'm active in sports (bowling, cheerleading, softball.. i used to play bball, vball, and wrestled) I have a job, I pay my own cell phone bill. My parents took everything from me! I dont have my cell, i cant use the computer, i cant use the phone, go places or have people over! I can't stand it! I'm stuck home everyday for the rest of my life with my sister who is... well a little sister and acts like a brat. I cant handle this anymore... idk. Please.. tell me whawt I can do to get my parents to unground me. I've been cleaning the house and doing everything I really can! :(

Maybe give some free advice about: Parenting?
That's a hard one because your parents may not see things the way I do and therefore, may not react the way I would. However, might I suggest that you sit down and "Explain" to them, an apology. Tell them EXACTLY what you did wrong, and the reason you know they punished you. That let's them know that you TRULY see the error of your ways and that you are no longer looking at it from your viewpoint only. Explain how you think your actions may have affected THEM. Something like, " And I know when I do that, it only adds distrust to my relationship with you, and makes you worry about me and my safety, and that's not something I want to do to you. " Add a situation in which you would feel the same, " If (name) did that to me, I would feel the same way and be just as angry as you were". Let them see that not only do you see WHY they grounded you, but you share in what they were feeling. The more you get them to realize that you are FULLY aware of the entire situation and the problems that result, then the better your chances could be of getting the punishment removed. All we want to know as parents is that our children LEARN what it is we're trying to teach them for their own good. That's all I can think of. I wish you the best of luck because it does sound as if you TRULY have lerned your lesson, at least in this case. Let me know how it goes, ok?
