That is what my dad will need to figure out in a few hours when he reads the in-school suspension letter I received at school today....good thing he is working late tonight and does not know yet.
He won't be happy but I don't think he'll spazz about it.

Actually, my dad just called and I told him and he is pretty annoyed! I think he had a stressful day today. He wants to go to my school tomorrow and talk to the principal but says he has a big day and has no time for it. He says I lost my allowance and am grounded for 2 weeks at least, extra chores too.

I'm a mom. I wouldn't freak out, but I'd want to know who you mooned. My oldest son, then about 9, had his 5 yr old brother mooning cars on our busy neighborhood street corner. Needless to say I didn't find out for years and laughed, but your dad will find out tonight. In this order:
1) let him read the note and be quiet
2) if he's angry and yelling let him vent - eventually he'll stop
3) he may be expecting you to argue, but DON'T
4) after he's done, apologize to him , ask him to forgive you and promise you'll never do it again - AND DON'T
5) take your punishment like a grown up and finish the punishment without incident
6) then when everything is over and settled, tell him you love him and give him a hug
A parent may get freaky sometimes, but the best thing to do is not argue. He will respect you more.
Hope he was cute!!!! Don't tell your dad I said that. HAHA

Lori, Lori, Lori, even with the best' of moons you don't want to do that.
If it were my daughter I would first ask her why? and of course there is no good reason for it so be prepared. However, if she didn't try to deny it or tried to play it down in anyway it would bold very well in her favor. My question to her would be this, how does she intend to handle those boys of questionable behavior from here on out. Unless of course that was her motive to begin with. Hopefully that was not yours. It is good that you care enough how your dad will feel about the subject at hand. My advise would be to give him a sincere apology. It would be a good start . Chances are he loves you very much so you may want to try to show him the same. You have your whole life ahead of you Lori so hopefully this small but serious matter will help you make better choices along the way.
Best you always,

If you were my kid, I would make you sit your mooning butt down in a chair and dare you to speak or try to defend yourself until I was done telling you about how wrong that stunt was and you could get a bad reputation that could possibly follow you through out your school years,I would tell you that you disappointed me and that I lost trust in you. I would ground you for 2 weeks, with NO phone privileges,no going with your friends,or sleep-overs. I would also make you go apologize to the principal and / or whoever caught you and I would make sure you were suspended from extracurricular activities from school for the 2 weeks you are grounded at home. You would also wash the dishes by hand every night for those two weeks and I would make sure your mind is used for your school work and not so much on making an as* out of yourself.

If you were my daughter, I'd go ballistic on you, ranting and raving about why you shouldn't flash your behind in public, mooning not being a proper thing to do, especially for a 15 year old girl, ESPECIALLY, DADDY'S GIRL! What the heck where you thinking?! Do you want to be labeled a s.l.u.t.? You're opening yourself to sexual predators (yes, those horny, cute boys in school!). Have some shame, show some decency! Of course, after cooling down, I'd ask you why you did it, WHO made you do it then make you PROMISE not to pull such a stupid stunt again (and break the necks of those who told you to do it). I'll contemplate transferring you to another school in order to get you away from the obvious bad influence you're getting from your friends at school and to shy you away from the embarrassing mess you've placed yourself in. Grounding you for a month or 2 is definite. And you'll date no one else but DAD!

Well, look at the bright side of things. Your dad is going away in October, so he will probably feel guilty, if he punishes you for this. Your timing maybe excellent. Then again he may just lock you up in your room and take away the key. By the way, when you tell him. Make sure he knows the sun will come up tomorrow. Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow, there be sun...

Bummer....your punishment is going to depend on his mood. Mooning someone really isnt all that bad, its a little rude(if you did it to a random person and not a friend) and not vary classy......But it doesnt hurt anyone. I wouldnt worry to much. Although if i were him to be honest... I would ground you for like three days, and thats if i was in an "iffy" mood. Good Luck!!

I would ground her for a month, no tv, no phone, no internet, no having friends over/going to a friend's house, no dates, no leaving the house, and LOTS and LOTS of extra chores..that is, if i were a mother. I'm a 14 year old girl, I'm just saying that's what i would do if I was an adult and had a 15 year old girl who did that.
And let me ask you, if you knew there'd be consequences, why'd you do it???

first of all if you were my daughter you would have never done such a thing you would have more self respect and so by this fact that it happening she would be down right away being tested for drugs because she would have to be stoned or loaded for doing such a thing maybe i would shop for a Chasity belt girl be thankful i am not your daddy because you would be ground until you are 50 years old start having more self respect

Though some may find it a laughing matter, my friends husband di the same thing he was arrested and had to go to court. He did not go to jail, but it was embarrasing for the chidren (6) and his wife. She almost had to close down her daycare because of it.
