Stop screaming, yelling, whining, crying (etc.) about it right now. Its just hurting the situation.
Next, write a long, long, long... long hand-written letter of apology to every person you offended. Individually. The longest lertter should be to the person/people who grounded you. Say you're so sorry for what you did, you're so immature and you definitely learned a lesson, yada yada yada. Make sure to say that you deserved everything you got (punishment-wise) and that you respect their decision. Don't mention anything about being un-grounded yet. Don't suck up, because parents have a radar for that. Unless you get grounded often, write that this definitely changed your outlook on how you treat/do ____. Like, if you yelled at your parents or something, tell them that from now on, you'll treat them so much better, because you realized how much of an @ss you were being before. Just BS it.
Wait at least 12 hours between the time of grounding to give it to them, preferably overnight. Give it to them in person if you can, with a hug or even a kiss on the cheek (if its family hah).
For the next few days make sure to use your manners and even toss around a few I-love-you's to show them you "really changed."
They may unground you. They may not.
Mine did :) haha
If they do, you can gradually phase out of the phoniness. If not, keep it up for as long as you can stomach it haha.

Now I don't know you're situation, so this might or might not be relevant advice, & you may or may not ignore it, but I figured you should hear it anyway. You should face the consequences and deal with it. The more you learn from your mistakes the more you grow as a person. Life can't always be fair, and we can't all get what we want, and that's an important lesson for everybody to learn for the future. [ spixieeex3's advice column | Ask spixieeex3 A Question ]
