No really, I think I would have given mine a month of grounding.
It depends on the parent though. Whatever they say goes. Best way to get the time shortened is to take the punishment without argument. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

MyPainIsReal answered Sunday December 25 2005, 11:10 pm: It really depends on how things went down. How severe was her lie? Did she make up some out of the blue stuff or a little lie that made her look good even though she snuck out. It's about circumstances. And I don't know the circumstances of what she did and how she did it and how it all occured. But sneaking out is something every kids gonna do at some point. If my child snuck out, I'd ground them for atleast two weeks. But I wouldn't ground them from everything. They could still have the phone and internet but I wouldn't want them constantly on them just becuase they can't go anywhere. I would ground them from going places on school nights totally, becuase that is a privlage and limit them on the weekends. And I would have to know a good bit of detail about it when they went somewhere, until I could gain trust back. Parents lose a lot of trust when their child sneaks out behind their back. It's hard to think rash and give a child a reasonable punishment when they're mad. That is probably why she is grouded for so long, becuase they've lost trust. They probably figure if they ground your friend for a logn time, she'll learn and they can get more trust back that way. But yeah, two weeks. <3 [ MyPainIsReal's advice column | Ask MyPainIsReal A Question ]

Of course us, teenagers, don't think that anything is fair. Being grounded for anything is pathetic to us & we just get mad over it. She should of thought about this before she actually did such a thing. If it happened to me of course I'd be mad & I'd give myself a day of being grounded but of course it never works that way. I feel bad that she is grounded for a long time, but she should of thought about it. [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]
