The best way to go through with that is to gain their trust back. do responsible things. help a sibling with homework. if your room isn't very clean, clean up, reorganize things. talk to your parents about how it's unhealthy for you to be locked up in the house for more than a month. write them a letter of apology. hope this help

I'm not going to lecture ou about how it wasn't a good choice to that. If you want to get ungrounded, maybe try some housework. like vaccuming, dusting, washing dishes, washing windows. It usually works for me. It shows your parents that you've learned your lesson (and hopefully you did) and they'll most likely shorten your grounding period. Hope I helped you.

I'm not going to say that what you did is wise or OK, but it's something that apparently most kids do. (I myself used to skip an entire day from home and travel by train to another city, waaay back, when I was 17, but I soon realized I was acting immature and stopped doing it).
So, the problem is: what determines you to do this and what can you do to behave normally and get "ungrounded", as you said. As far I can see it, if you sneak out of the house at night and go to a friend, it's either because you care about your friend so much, either because you're, well, sort of a "nightcrawler". In the first case, I guess it would be alright if you just saw your friend(s) at normal hours, it's not that hard. On the other hand, if you're a "nightcrawler", don't think you're the only one ;) I'm also a person who stays up late at night and I find it really constructive to learn new computer stuff (for instance) until, say, 4am. It's really rewarding and it's much wiser than to "sneak out" to a friend's house. So it's simple: see your friends during the day and learn/study for yourself at night (or write, or listen to music, or draw, or read, whatever makes you feel good).
Now, about the "ungrounding" part... As I see it, if you do anything extreme some time soon you're certainly *not* going to fix anything. I know you feel like crawling on the walls and dying to get out of the house, but don't do anything stupid because it's *not* gonna help. Instead, I would act like a responsible kid, if I were you, go on with my school and stuff, and talk to my parents very calmly. I'd explain them that although I did some things which I probably shouldn't have done, I now got the chance to reflect a bit about my situation; however, "grounding" is not a viable solution, since, you know, it's like a stupid restriction that by definition is made up just to be bypassed. Such restrictions are never constructive. I'd explain my parents that I need some basical freedoms, like seeing my friends after school and going out to watch a movie (at a normal hour though...), and that, if they can cope with that, you'll behave like a normal kid.
This, of course, implies that you actually *did* reflect about those things and that you actually *do* feel like that ;) I hope this helped (and, anyhow, try to talk to them but as calm and logical and mature as you can be, ok?)
