I am grounded for years!

[High]

Lastnight me and a friend got the idea to get wasted, I'm 14 years old and have been actually drunk before. I had 8 shots of tequila all together, and I got completely wasted. I don't remember much from the night before, but my parents came home in the morning and saw all the evidence. Puke on the floor, my bed, missing alcohol.

My mom immediately brought my friend back to his house and when I got back I got my ass chewed and some horrific rules and groundings. My father didn't say too much, I think he realized that I learned my lesson cause I was terribly sick that night and puked and woke up with a bad hangover. But my mom on the other hand told me I cannot be left home alone, I am not allowed to have friends over for 4 years. My phones been taken away, and it's only a matter of time till she takes my laptop. Please help me, what do I do? It's bothering me cause I really want to have friends over.

There's nothing you can you do. Your parents have made up their mind.

[Ambrosia]

Well first off, I hope you did learn your lesson. You breached your parents trust by stealing their alcohol and doing something illegal within their walls against their wishes. But ya know, all teenagers usually do it once in their lives.

Onwards...

Your mother was very upset and not thinking rationally. Parents tend to throw out grounding rules like their candy canes. Give her time, don't fight with her or argue about it, and eventually she'll end the grounding. It's very rare for a parent to keep something so long like that. She has to have time to calm down.

It would help if you apologize, clean, do everything in your power to make it clear how SORRY you are.

Four years? Give it less than four weeks. She'll cave. I can remember being grounded for three months whenever I was around 14 for staying out until like 3am.... Lasted three days :P

But as Lexi has said, you befouled the family carpet and stole their Tequila.... It's time to be a little kiss ass.

There's nothing you really can do. If you follow their rules and do extra things around the house without being asked she will probably cave after a month, maybe less.

I think parents are initially mad, and over react (although I agree what you did was wrong.) But when they think about it they realize they were teenagers once and probably did some of the same things if not worse.

[Nihilus]

Well, no offense, but you kind of earned it. Four years seems a bit harsh, but there is nothing you can do. I have a feeling, if you keep up good behavior, she will cave and let up.

i dont think you have a right to moan its your fault u got drunk when you shouldnt ur only 14!! i think u deserve everything u get u should not be getting drunk at that age

[Hope4u]

you did the crime, you gotta do the time. And don't worry, I really don't think you're parents want to keep you locked up for the next four years..that will punish them too.

[Kaius]

Hmm, well although you brought it on yourself 4 years is a bit of a harsh punishment. 90% of teenagers are going to get absolutely screwed off their faces at some point before they turn legal, they should actually be pleased you did it in your own home where you were safe. However I can see where they were coming from, not only did you break their trust and steal from them but you did it at the cost of yours and your friends own health. I can't see them sticking to the 4 years of grounding for something every kid is bound to do, just make it clear you're going to make it up to them

[DerBear]

Simple sentance

If you cant do the time dont do the crime

live with it deal with it

[tav18]

First what you did was completley stupid you should have known the consequnces maybe you should be punished.

secondly- i think four years is too harsh your parents shouldn't keep you away from your friends i would think that kind of punishment is unfair and cruel

try talking to them and find some sort of comprimise youv'e learned your lesson and better not try to do it agian sorry if this dosen't help but you should have thought about this before you got drunk.

[LKIFMRUG9556]

Lol! Haha. I'm my honest opinion you're just being a normal teenager! :L They're overreacting, they should be more worried of you were a 'goody, goody' all the time!

[Username not found..]

4 years is a bit extreme! Just give her time to calm down

[Spock]

dumb idea u should learn ur lesson from this

[Voldemort]

sorry dude but ur trap, u cant do anything about it, but 4 years, wow, i dont think you'll be grounded for that long, maybe she'll shortened it.

[JaredIsStupid]

i never get grounded im a good boy lol

[Hailstorm]

wow ur parents suck its not like none of ur parents did bad shit when they were younger so they shouldent be so strict and like others said im sure u learned ur lesson by the hangover the next morning lol.

[Matt_is_Awesome]

Thats wow lol 4 years!!! u cant do much but i hight doubt the grounding will be 4 year prob 4 weeks

[Tango]

I think he got his computer taken away.

That would suck to be grounded for 4 years.

[Sage]

Parents don't usually follow through with such threats. But seriously, kiddo, lay off the fucking hard liquor. You're fourteen. I (and a lot of other people) wouldn't even consider you much of a teenager yet. You're still a child. Go buy a fucking yo-yo or something.
