Question Posted Tuesday November 23 2004, 10:32 pm
Im always grounded n it makes me soo mad! Tehy ground me for stupid reason and i dont no what to do! Every time i try to talk to them they dont listen and notthing changed! What should i do? Go for some real help??
every houshold has rules..like curfew, grades houshold chores..if you are not obeying those rules..you might get grounded..but..IF they are just gounding you unfairly..i would have a family meeting (when you are not mad)and ask..what are the rules for grounding. establish the guidlines..and have THEM sign and you sign them so if they start to change the rules you can whip out YOUR contract.
if they are grounding you unfairly you will need a third party mediator..like a counselor or maybe a granparent?

MLynch85 answered Wednesday November 24 2004, 12:45 am: You should really listen to them and hear where they're coming from. Don't argue with them but accept what they have to say, most of the time it's for a good reason. Sometimes. You should work to earn their respect, do extra things around the house and when they tell you to do them a favor.. Do it...
PleaseHelpMe answered Wednesday November 24 2004, 12:29 am: My parents were exactly like that. I thikn you should have a talk with them and try to make them see the good things you do. A lot of parents only notice the bad things that their kids do and dont pay enough attention to the good things. If your getting good grades or havent been in trouble recently tell them that. Thats what I did..I was just like Dad i'm getting all A's, I dont do drugs, and have been really good. You can expect me to be perfect all the time because i'm going through a hard time. haha i sucked up but it worked. Then I told him that he doesnt notice the good things I do. good luck byez [ PleaseHelpMe's advice column | Ask PleaseHelpMe A Question ]

If you show your parents that you're mature, they're more likely to listen to you. So, next time you get in trouble, accept the punishment instead of going on and on about how unfair it is (which usually does nothing but intensify the problem and end up screwing you over even more). I know, I know, but hey...try it sometime. [ theblondeone989's advice column | Ask theblondeone989 A Question ]
