Are My Parents Right To Threaten Me With Severe Punishment If I Sneak Out To A Party ?

[bigbecky]

a few weeks ago I got put into lockdown as a punishment for shoplifting, my parents let me off a few days early if I promised to behave, in 2 weeks time there is a party I want to go to my parents said I cant go as there will be alcohol etc, I planned to sneak out and go, my sister told my parents, and they said if I went I would receive 2 weekends of lockdown ( LOCKED IN MY ROOM ) last time I got locked up I HATED it so much, I cant bear this punishment again, my parents said it is a deterrent and it is MEANT to be tough.
my parents think the party is tonight, but its in 2 weeks so I have a chance of sneaking out and getting away with it, I really want to go but I cant afford to get caught as I CANT do the punishment WHAT DO YOU THINK ?

The last post says it all, really.

// I was really hoping for advice from grown ups to help me get away with it ?//
What makes you think that a grown-up would give you such advice? It is time that you should grow up.

Have you thought of putting pillows under the duvet, to make it look like you are sleeping ?

I shall add bigbecks posts to things to read on a boring wet day, or perhaps not.

Perhaps it's time this little troll be shown the AB door, and don't slam it on the way out.

Do what anne says but also make a false head out of papier mache, buy a wig same as your hair, put head on your pillow and bobs your uncle, you can now escape to the party.

OK so you want to go out without your parents knowing, to a party with alcohol and possible drug and possibly older boys.

And you can’t see a problem with this... hmm I think you are either not old enough to be making these sorts of decisions and should just do as your told. Or too old to be living with mum and dad and should get your *** off the ground and get yourself a place so you don’t have to sneak about and lie.

LOL!!!

[anneasquith]

She has an uncle Bob, maybe he could give you some advice bb.?

[Barmaid]

Personally i think your parents should remove all communication gadgets and access to the internet. A most suitable punishment and a benefit to the rest of us who wouldn't be subject to this puerile nonsense.

[cashier]

In answer to your question. Yes, your parents are right to threaten you with a minor punishment if you sneak out to a party.

[Jackdaw33]

I don't know why, but all of a sudden Mollykins springs to mind. I'm not saying it's her but a very similar style of posting.

[sanmac]

Jackdaw, you just beat me to it...I was thinking the same.

[kvalidir]

Very true Jack x

[ummmm]

No...Molly had more respect for her parents.

[anneasquith]

Jack, there is a similarity, maybe that's the aim of the exercise ? !!!!!!!!

[Barmaid]

Molly was at least entertaining

[sanmac]

Ummmm, I'm not saying it is her, and I don't think that Jack is either, it's just that her style is very similar to Molly's.

parents;;;The sooner you make sure she knows her behavior is against the rules, the better chance you have of breaking her of this bad habit.One effective method of discipline for teens is grounding. If your teen is caught sneaking out at night, grounding her from leaving the house is a punishment that fits the crime.
