But anyways, you have to learn how to control yourself! Lol. Why would you not having your text messages and being grounded lose him. If he liked you, he wouldn't dump you or whatever because you are grounded. Just tell your parents that you are really sorry and try your best to stop going over the limit. Or, get a job and pay!

You can also send him notes - both through email and through the old fashioned postal service. When your not grounded any more, you can go do things with him.
To apologize to your parents, you need to show them that your sorry and that you've become more responsible. Start by not text messaging any more. Do your chores without being asked. Ask your mom if there is anything you can do around the house to "pay off" how much money you spent - and if you can use such tasks to pay for text messages you send in the future. For instance, if your mom normally sweeps the kitchen, maybe you sweeping the kitchen would be worth a 50 cents or a dollar (it's not hard or time consuming unless you have a really huge kitchen, so it's not worth much). But if you do it and a few other quick and easy things every day, and then do a bigger project on the weekend (you are grounded after all, so you'll have time). I don't know what types of tasks need to be done around your house, but I'm sure your parents could come up with stuff. They may be impressed that you want to recompense them, and use re-compensation instead of punishment in the future. [ dreamingkat's advice column | Ask dreamingkat A Question ]

You can still talk on the phone with him and see him at school and stuff. Tell your parents that you are really sorry and that you seriously didnt mean to even tho they told you not to. Dont argue with them because that just gets you in bigger trouble. x0 [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]

Or you could talk to him on the phone if if your aloud? [ BabyGirl05's advice column | Ask BabyGirl05 A Question ]
