    Ok yesterday I left the skool grounds so me and my friend could go and pick her belt up..........

    we were only 18 mins but my english teacher told the office I was late and they called my mum......

    my mum then came into my work and told me I waz grounded took my jewelary off me and my fone and told me I wasnt aloud to get ny of my money out of the bank.............

    I asked her wat I had done and she told me she knew I then tried lying to get my way out of it but dug myself a deeper hole............

    now I am grounded for 7 weeks without money my fone or my jewelary..............

    my mother wont talk to me or let me walk home after school I have to hang out at the libry till she finishes work...............

    I cant spend the next 7 weeks like this..... what can I do???

    You left school grounds, came back late, tried to lie about it, but 7 weeks seems a bit harsh for the crime, I would take it that you have been in trouble before? There is nothing you can really do aside from prove yourself trustworthy once again.

    I find this very harsh punishment! but what can you do? maybe you could explain to her its unfair and you are not a kid anymore (sorry i dont know your age but i imagine your at least 13 which is not a kid anymore) but yet it might make it worse. i think that this is totally unfair. i mean 7 weeks. its likely to make alot of teenagers rebel more to be honest & make things alot worse than they are. & im sorry did i also hear you say you have a job??? you work but your mum said you cant spend any!!??
    thats rediculous its your money! you work for it.
    i know she prolly thinks shes just helping you & doing whats best for you but i think its pushing you away by the extremity of it.
    all you can do to regain her trust though is swallow your pride and abide by her rules regardless of how unfair they may be. if you dont you will make things worse. it will be tough though doing it for so long.

    Like bob said accept it, its part of growing up, no more being put in the corner for 5 minutes. Yeah its a bit harsh, but youll live. Show youre mom that you can be mature, get through it. Show your mom that you can be the grown up by listening, do as she says and believe me, shell give you respect.

    Ah, we've all had crazy punishments as teens. Learn from your mistakes, and your mom probably won't hold you for that long.

    Wow, brutal.

    What you did wasn't that bad really, until you tried to lie about it. Just accept it, as much as it sucks, and don't do it again. That's how you gain trust back, by not making the same mistake twice.
