Detention.
HELP!
OK so in French class last week I got a detention! I've never had a detention in my entire life! My teacher assigned it to me for this Wednesday! And the most annoying part is that the reason I got detention was because I missed three homeworks. THREE! And not even in a row, either! Over a period of time!! So now my BITCH of a teacher gave me detention (Just to say, she gives them out like candy. She gave one of my best friends an afterschool detention because she was chewing gum). So I don't know what to tell my parents. I know they're going to be really mad at me. Once I got a D and a C on my PROGRESS report (for those who don't know, it's like a report card in the middle of the quarter. It's just to check up on grades), and my dad threw a tantrum and took my phone away and grounded me for a week. My mom probably won't be as mad, but still. And I really don't want to lie because they'll get even more mad at me.
Ok I know I sound like a goody-goody and whatever, but I'm really not, it's just I've never had a detention, and I'm just afraid of my parent's reaction.
Please help!! Thank you so much!

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
ok so just tell your mom the truth but you should have done the assignments and its ok i got a detention from my spanish teacher last yr cuz i yelled shut-up to a kid during the test cuz he was trying to cheat

I don't think your parents will be that mad? What's your grade in the class? Make up the homework assignments and maybe she'll take them. Ask her what your grade is. Ask her for a progress report, if you show her you care, she will have some respect for you.
If your doing well, show your mom and dad the progress report. Just be like, "I got a detention for missing three homework assignments awhile back, but I made them up, and this is my grade right now, she gives detentions to a lot of people, sorry."
It's not like you beat someone up, so ehhh don't worry about it.

So what exactly is the advice your seeking? Heres what I'd do. I'd do the three assignments that I missed, turn them in (even if your teacher won't accept them, DO IT ANYWAY), THEN like the adult your wanting to be, tell your parents straight up "Hey, my teachers rule is you miss three assignments and you get a detention. I missed three and I got what I deserved. I'll deal with it, BUT I made up the assingments."
If your parents through a bitch fit, oh well. Take notes on it and when you have kids and they come to you with a similar story, don't act how your parents reacted. Such is life.
