(13f)Yesterday my dad asked me to pull weeds in the yard and I accidently pulled a whole bunch of plants that were like $100. I said i was sorry and promised to replant them but they wont let me. I cant pay them back because I dont have any money. Now they're not talking to me and they wont drive me anywhere I need to go! Does anyone have any ideas about what I can do?

Seems to me you did all you could. Some may have been saved if they had let you replant, which you offered to do.
I guess they will get over it. Next time they will show you what isn't a weed before you start!:)

Your parents aren't talking to you?! I must say that you can use this to your advantage but that's not what you want to know.
Your dad is probly angry because he feels like an idiot for not realizing that you're probly new at this. That is what he gets and he knows it. Personally I would just back off and let them cool off. Yes, you got places to go and such but that is clearly not going to happen. It's hard to hold a grudge against someone when they're not doing or asking for anything.
I've been through this before and all I did (after my parents threw a fit) was read a book and play on the computer. My rents got over it and things went back to normal. Hopefully this will work for you too.

Wow your dad is really immature. If he wanted it done right he should have done it himself. Or not gotten the $100 plants. I suggest you tell your family how horribly childish and unfair they are acting and remind them that plants are re-placeable; their daughter is not.

Wow that is very mean of your parents. You did ask them what you can do. Ok seriously your 13. And they asked you to do it. And everyone makes mistakes everyday in there life. Even your parents. So talk to them. Tell them "Look im really sorry I made a mistake. Im only 13 and I thought they were weeds" And if they give you an allowance save up dont buy anything save up until you can buy another. Even if it takes a while to do so. And do extra work around the house with out asking. Such as maybe make dinner for them (using the micro wave). And just replant them anyway. And clean up the yard. Make it nice looking. And clean the whole house basically. It's like begging for there forgiveness by doing things. Like if your mom needs to clean all the windows do it before she can get to it. Clean your room do all your homework. Well what im saying is try and be a perfect angel to them. I know its hard because you make mistakes. But what im saying is. Dont worry I make mistakes to and so do your parents. You need to tell them that some how. Like leave them a letter. Such as put it in the mail box after the mail comes. And than bring the mail in to them. And than leave the room but stand by the room so you could hear whats happening. Well i'll add more to it when I think of anything. hope I helped though <3

Hey
That's the most ridicules thing I ever heard. I'm sorry but that sounds really immature for your parents to do. After all your only 13 and everybody makes mistakes. Well what I would do is replant the plants all by myself, without telling my parents. But then again if your parents didn't let you replant them in the first place when you asked, then there has to be a good reason for it. Umm lets see if your parents give you any money at all weekly or anything just tell them not to pay you anymore until it reaches the one hundred dollars wroth of plants you pulled out. If that's not an option then simply suck up to them. Like all kids do when they do something wrong. Don't worry they are your parents and they love you. They can't say mad at you for too long. Just give it some time. Remember the best way to go is by saying your sorry over and over until they get annoyed. Trust me works like a charm.
Also you can try cleaning around the house more. Making sure your room is always clean. Do all your homework on time and stuff like that. The little things do matter and they will notice that you are trying your best to help around. Just be nice. I'm sure things will work out just fine.
