okay so on april 10 me and my friend cut the last 2 periods of class. i really dont cut but that day we had a sub so i did. i felt really guilty btw for that so i know i will never cutt ever again. and also in the morning i missed 1 class like 2 times becuase i woke up late and i didnt know that was considered cutting. so they sent me a note frm the school my mom read it and shes really angry. i feel so guilty. she said if its true she will ground me for the whole summer! so she said she was going to go to the school and check. i dont know what to do im so scared shes really against cutting. i know i did wrong i learned my lesson im not cutting again i tried to talk to her to tell her that but she wont listen what should i do i think if she finds out it was true shes going to hit me with the belt since shes so old fashioned.

But you should try being super nice to your mom and say can i talk to you, and try telling her what happened that whole day about how you had a sub and you jsut didn't want to be there, and how i felt so guilty and it'll never happen again i swear. That's what i would do and if that don't work then your mom must be wierd because she shouldn't be beating you with a belt over missing 2 class periods. Idc how ld fashion you are. i'm sure she's missed 2 class periods. So just try talking to her calmly, or try getting home before her once and make her dinner, my mom loves when i do that, it would get her in a good mood and then you could try talking to her calmly i think she'll understand!

Secondly, you need to make her listen. Tell her everything which you've written down because that way, you'll avoid any other problems which may arise in the distant future. You made a mistake, now you're going to learn from it and she needs to know that. Everybody makes mistakes, nobody in this world is 'perfect', there is always a fault with a person in some way or another.

Explain to her the truth. Not only the part about you waking up late, but how the time you intentionally cut class, you felt extremely guilty and now will never do it again.
Let her know you've learned your lesson.
And if she punishes you, just take it to show her you really have learned your lesson, and want to be mature about it.
If she does hit you,
you need to tell somebody.
Like said below, by law, she CANNOT hit you.
solidadvice4teens answered Friday May 2 2008, 2:40 pm: She can't by law hit you like that ever. That's especially so considering your age. Explain that the first two instances should have been recorded as an absence because you slept in and didn't phone them about it or explain or produce a note.
You can admit you left the other class early and tell her you weren't feeling good unless of course someone saw you at the mall etc. etc. She can't prove that you didn't leave early for that reason or an appointment unless someone can nail you having seen you where you shouldn't have gone.
I believe in honesty though. Tell her that the first two were due to the alarm not going off and that the second was for ditching class. Accept the consequences and see what happens. If you are honest she will respect that and may not be so harsh. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]
