It sounds like you didn't get your way at your dad's & thought you could live with your mom with no punishments. Most kids who get bad grades do get grounded, if their parents care about them. If she didn't care she wouldn't punish you. She wants you to do good in school and make something of yourself.

Try talking to her like an adult about how unfair you think it is. Plan what you're going to say to her before you talk to her. If you have a reasonable argument, she may decide not to ground you. But at the same time, she is probably so tough on you about your grades because she thinks education is important, and she wants you to excel. Make a deal with her. For example, tell her you'll spend more time on your homework and preparing for tests if she lets you have a social life.

Awww, I'm sorry about your situation. She's not doing it to be mean, though. She just wants you to study hard and work harder in school so that you can make something of your life. Why don't you take the 6 weeks and really buckle down and show her that you can do it? Then she'll start letting you have your privileges back.

Well, for one, you can't play the game where say if dad punishes you, you run back home to mom, and then now that mom punishes you for something thats legit, you run back to dad.
She is being a parent and you should be grateful for that.
plus if you get frustrated with her for something as little as this and go running back to your dad, the courts wil step in and say, thats it, you're staying with this parent from now on.
been there done that and have been in your shoes... had dad that was awful, and abusive and ended up moving back to my moms because of it, it was happier, but then things went to **** again. And i ended up in foster care.
id seriously deal with the fact that you're ground. and just go on with life, It could be worse.

I think you should respect your mother as she only try to do the best for you...trust me...put yourself in her shoe..would you like your daughter to have low grades and hang around or you wont her to study and get the best life ever you can afford for her...think..and stop saying what the f*** as if now you lose your mother and their is now one to think for you the best ..you are ALONE!!...respect...and youll be respected...show that you know what you do and you've taken the problems in your hand by being grown up women! if you keep doing the same you do..youll just loose..the best ever friend you can get....you mom who wont's you the best as you will do so for your kids...and everyone is doing their best to make your life as good as possible no matter what that mean...
good luck

Sounds like you got a good mom to me and you are the one being unreasonable. Take responsibility for your grades, and don't blame your misfortune on your mom.

Sounds like you want to play ping pong with your parents. Shame on you. Your mother is doing exactly what needs to be done if your grades are faultering. Another thing..........open your Bible and read your 10 Commandments .......Honor thy mother and thy father

i think that even though you don't want to be there with your mother i think that you should make the best of the time that you're spending there with her because you never know how much you miss something until it's gone. and you should also work hard so that she wouldn't be upset with you

you should study harder. kids these days think they should get things automatically. no. you don't just get things, you earn things. study harder, get better grades and then maybe you can have your social life back.
