GOOD FOR YOUR PARNTS! I would not let you out for a year. and I really dont care what comes up, you would not be allowed to do ANY thing, you might have to ask if you can breath. I hope you learn your lesson.

You are not going to GET OUT, you may as well forget that idea. However, ask mom and dad if they would consider chaperoning your semiformal or offer your parents something else that you hold dear in exchange for the priviledge of going to your semiformal unescorted. Then again maybe you can just be on your best behavior and show true remorse, they may be lenient. I'd bet that your parent are more afraid for your well being than they are angry at you. You should find out why.

Your only hope is to throw yourself on their mercy, own up to how wrong you were, and make the sincere promise that it won't happen again..and really mean it. Law enforcement has juvenile offender laws because it's a well-known fact that young people make stupid chioces and deserve to be treated leniently, especially if it is a first offense.
Ask your folks if there is any way you can get back in their good graces, that you'll be willing to take over a new chore to demonstrate your new desire to act responsibly. If they are unwilling to give you a second chance, there's not too much you can do about it other than chalking it up to experience. And promise yourself you'll remember this incident when YOUR children disappoint you. Will you be harsh or forgiving?

Ohhh boy - it's letter-writin' time
Honey, you already know you did a dumb thing. I'm not going there.
Sit down and write them a letter. Tell them you love them, that you're sorry you disappointed them, and that they were RIGHT (yup - you heard me - they were right!) to ground you.
Say (and try to mean it) that you will do everything you can to earn their trust again and let them know you are grateful to have parents who care enough to set boundaries.
Then... and only then, should you approach the subject of an exception being made for your semiformal. And present THAT as the perfect opportunity to "prove their faith in you is justified"
And then... don't mess up - cos if they do give you the chance, there'll be no margin for error, ya know?

I hate to say this, I can see you rolling your eyes now, but your parents are right in this. this will give you time to THINK about what you done that was wrong.
You also said that you 'might not' get to go to the semiformal, that isn't carved in stone yet, so I would apologize AS A YOUNG ADULT, do not throw a temper tantrum, and volunteer to go to a al anon meeting for teens.
Your parents CARE about you, there is nothing wrong with that. Show them that you are a young adult by ACTING like one, good luck.

First you have to understand why your parents are so upset....they are scared. No parent wants to find alcohol, drugs or anything like that on their child....
I would go ahead and accept your punishment and that you wont attend the semiformal....
you now have to earn back your parents trust...and respect. Hiding alcohol showed a huge amount of disrespect to them....
DONT do what my son does....and announce every two seconds he does something without being told....or constantly refer to things beig done so that MAYBE you could earn back your priviledges! He drives me nuts with that!
Just anything you do from this point forward do because you want to ...not because you want something.

Kiss your parents butts, do things around the house with out being told(dishes, taking garbage out, laundry, vaccuuming etc)
and if you are lucky they will at least let you go to the semiformal. Good Luck!

Maybe if you stop trying to get out of a punishment that you know is appropriate your parents might take you seriously and let you go. Take responsibility for your actions and you will be treated differently. Maybe you should sit in on a ALANON meeting and see what alcohol has done to so many families.

You shouldn't have had alcohol in your room. Don't do things around the house unless you are sincerely sorry about what you did. Seeing as you even asked this question, you probably are not going to be sincere. Would you be worried about it if you didn't have the formal coming up? By the way, if you can't even spell alcohol, you shouldn't be drinking it. And you certainly shouldn't be able to go to the formal. You're parents are right in what they did.

help you out, ok dont keep your "alcohal" in your room you shouldnt be drinking it anyway. but if you want to get out of your punishment try helping out around the house more and act like a total sweet heart to win your parents over

And you're how old...how often are you drinking, don't start, too easy to get caught up in, so you're punished , you obviously think you're old enough to drink, so take the punishment, leave the booze alone, if you think you have a problem with it, get into rehab asap...it'll save your life sooner or later.
