Alphonso Brake: This is not cruel and unusual punishment at all. Wow, no TV, huh? Omg, that must be horrible.Shape up and get good grades--then maybe you won't be subjected to this "punishment." Your mother is doing you a favor. D's in School are preparing you for a miserable life of minimum-wage jobs, and an endless struggle to make ends meet. I'm sure your mother wants something better for you. Start taking your own life seriously, and you'll thank her later for putting things into perspective for you....Show more
Cortez Badolato: Bummer. Nothing I can say is gonna make it any better. But i did want to say that I have NEVER been successful trying to argue my way out of a punishment. It only makes things worse. The whole "its not fair" argument just doesn't fly with most moms. I would say, enough with all the self-pity. Stop with the excuses. Get busy, get your grades back up and prove yourself. Your obviously smart. If you turns D's into B's and A's -- THEN you ha! ve a chance.Video games? Seriously?? That's a complete waste of time!!!! You 15! Not 12!...Show more
Maria Bengston: I agree with her. I am sure this isnt the first time you have done this. Honestly what you should be doing after your homework is chores. They more you do to show her that you do understand that school comes first and that you do respect her she will be more likely to let you off before the 8 months. But you have to put effort into it. Get up, go do the dishes, laundry ANYTHING!!!
Delora Struzzi: Maybe you should do all your school work instaed of messing around. Then bring up all your grades and show her you can be responsible. (:
Neville Dautremont: There's a little extreme. At least other books and she can program TV to play educational TV like discovery channel or animal planet. But to have nothing that's torture and like jail. I would've hit that *****. And leave. Idc if she your mother or not you can't punish your kid to that extreme ! can't even go in the yard. Every kid doesn't do their homework! at some point. Let me guess this is a white mom?
Catheryn Small: I think you should do better at your studies instead of messing around because studying is the most important part in your life. Same with School and education.
Debora Soliani: ok im not sure what you're asking but here is my sympathy:that's rough.now here is my answer: but really, you're going to get to 35 years old and realize you shouldn't have screwed around with your education. this is the time when it's easiest to learn.i've tried to teach my duaghter about the three aspects of "sorry".1)being sorry (and not just sorry that you got grounded but realize that you screwed up and ARE sorry because you were at fault)2)saying sorry (honestly talk to your mom and apologize and tell her that you accept the punishment because (again) you realize you are at fault)3)showing you're sorry. i would suggest you focus on school work. improve your grades. show your mom that you're actually dependable and rel! iable. this is the time to get your butt in gear.if you can learn to focus and actually set yourself a schedule to improve everything that she wants to see an improvement in then you could very well be let off the hook earlier than 8 months. if you can teach yourself to balance life and work then you'll be much better off for it. you should talk to your guildance councellor to see what can be done about your grades and if you can change courses and/or get a tutor to help you improve those grades.good luck! i know school is a major pita when you're not interested but you need to figure out what you want out of life and go for that. your guidance councellor can help you figure out what you want out of life and you can work the education system to get you to where you want to go....Show more
Isaias Badgley: I agree with several of these answers. Saying sorry is just a word, and is not good enough. U need to focus on your school work and bring up your grades. No excuse! now because u have plenty of time. If u are truly having trouble and ! not just being lazy, there should be after-school tutors that can help you. Make education your first priority rather than beer parties with loser friends that are obviously bringing you down. In 30 yrs, you will have a much more successful life than those who chose to spend the HS years partying. Today, I wish so much that I had more support when I was in HS. I resented my mom for trying to punish me. I ignored her and disrespected her and caused a severe riff in our relationship for many years. 20 yrs later, I am no longer friends with the "Besties from HS" I did have a decent job, but that was only from skill, not smartness. U show mom some respect and improvement on work and attitude, I can promise she will gradually give u your freedom back. Good luck my friend!...Show more
Jonathon Labonne: IF your grounded then why are using the computer?
Porfirio Cahall: That is the problem with punishments - they always have to escalate to be effective, and yo! ur punishments are now ridiculous. Too bad your parents did not teach you that all the stuff you are doing to mess up is actually to your benefit and deserves your utmost attention. That is the secret that all the teens that are doing better than you already KNOW - that is why they are hard at work and do not need the kind of structure that your parents are now imposing on you for your own good. I hope you are able to realize, despite your relationship with your parents, that hard work results in rewards FOR YOU that last FOR LIFE. You don't do these things just to avoid punishment, you do them because it is WORTHWHILE forever....Show more
Libby Berkovitch: maybe you shouldn't be so bad at math
