Get a job and pay your dad's girlfriend back. An apology is also in order. If you want to be treated like an adult, then you need to act like one. Enjoying your summer shouldn't be your primary concern, getting your family's trust back should be the most important. Take the advice that's been given and things should work out. Good luck.

Think about her feelings, you stole her credit card!! It may not be that she didn't want you in the house, it's just that maybe she didn't ever think you would do anything like that. It's not easy being the girlfreind of a father with a teenaged daughter and it not any easier being his daughter but mutual respect is needed and you ignored that respect completely.
You know what you did was wrong so why don't you just appologize and ask for their forgiveness. If you do that they might think your mature enough to not do it again and you might not be grownded anymore.
About your boyfriend situation, sweetheart it's summer why would you want a boyfriend when now's the time to see all the cute guys while not being attached.

Life lessons sweetheart. Take the punishment and be grateful. If you graduated highschool already you're probably eighteen. You could technically be charged with theft and do some jail time or at the very least community service. This summer will not last forever, it will eventually end. What you should do is ask your mother and step-father if they would allow you to do volunteer work somewhere. Maybe at a local animal shelter or another charity you're interested in. This should go a long way in shaping you're character.

First - apologize to anyone who is mad at you. Even if you think they've done something wrong to you and you're innocent, still apologize. Usually, when someone gets apologized to, they begin to look for something to apologize for. If you humble yourself, you will likely receive both forgiveness and responsive apologies. Apologies begin the process of reconciliation.
Second - look for opportunities to help and support your family members. Ask if you can help with household chores. Do things like emptying the dishwasher and taking out the trash before anyone asks you to. Take an interest in the lives of your parents (both sets) by asking them how their day was each evening. Basically, show your family that you care about them with your actions.
Third - Do not ask for your privileges back. Trust that they will be offered to you. If you feel like you deserve something, don't ask for it. Instead, ask your parents if THEY think you deserve it. Your deferrment to their judgment shows several things: 1) That you respect their authority; 2) That you trust their judgment; and 3) That you have humility, which is always a quality people respect more than pride.
Fourth - make positive plans for your life and share them with your family. I suggest some form of higher education, whether it's a four-year college, two-year professional degree, or even a professional course than only lasts a few weeks but prepares you for a new career. Showing your family that you have direction will cause them to respect you (and probably return your privileges).
Put any romantic relationships on hold. You need to fix your own situation before you can seriously worry about anyone else. Your family will respect you much more if you focus on your own goals until you've got everything under control. Plus, you'll save money (those gifts and nights out can add up).
In general, take the initiative to show that you've got a positive, humble outlook on life. Folks like that are the most well-liked and respected people in society. You'll win over your parents and probably lots of other people too.
Good luck!

First off your family dose not hate you!!
Second has anyone told you that you could go to jail for stealing this Chic's Card? Your lucky that you just got grounded for the summer. You should be thanking of ways to make up for your wrong doing and stop being so selfish. If missing out on this summer is the only thing your worried about they should send your dumb but to jail then you'll have alot more to worry about, like who your next girlfriend will be or who's going to kick your a** for looking at their girlfriend.

You need to learn to respect other people...what you did was right rude and you have lost the trust of your family.....It's going to take awhile before they trust you again. Nothing is free you had great fun with the card..now you got to pay up....Either get a job and move out on your own or follow the house rules......

You apologize to your Dad, his girlfriend and your Mom. Then you have to accept your punishment. That's a sign of a mature person....when you've done something wrong you accept the consequences. Use this time to make a new start for yourself. Good Luck.

Hey, don't do the crime if you can't do the time. You need to learn to respect other peoples belonging and know that what you did was so wrong. Take this time to think about what you have done and find out if you are a lifelong criminal or if you learned from your mistake.

Aplogize and ask if you can get a job so you can pay her back. Try to do some extra things for your dad and his girlfriend to show them that you are sorry and feel bad for what you did
