Do you think this is fair?

Question

ok so i know i shouldnt have done it but i forged my dads signatures on some school stuuf (only a couple of slips and my h.w diary) and today my mum found out and had a HUGE go at me and she said shes gonig to phone my school and tell them what ive done
im 15 years old do you think this is fair?

Answer 1

Yeah, it's totally fair, sorry. But sometimes having the slimy things we've done be brought into light can make us never want to do it again. So, if she says nothing, you'll be thinking and even try to not do it again, and think twice before you do. But if she does call your school, you may think about it six times before you do it again. make sense???? And sometimes having people know what you did and having the opportunity to be embarrassed about it can make you realize even more that what you did was wrong. The best advice I can give you is to just handle whatever she's going to do, and next time you think about doing something wrong, think about how you're going to feel if everyone knows you did it. If you're going to be embarrassed or ashamed, then DON'T DO IT!!!! Trust me, My mom did the same thing to me, I'm 24 yrs old now, and I know that if she hadn't done what she did, I'd have kept doing it probably. :P You'll realize it later, or hopefully with what I said, you realize it now. Things always seem worst when you're going through them, but when the smoke clears and you're through it, it never seems so bad.

Answer 2

Absolutely. Just remember that forging someone's name is very illegal and doing what you did 1: betrays your parents trust, now they are going to wonder if you forged something important like a report card or sick notes. 2: this can lead you into doing things that will be come lawsuit material later if you keep forging signatures.

Answer 3

Yes. Actions have consequences, and if you're going to take the action (forging signature), then you need to live with the consequences of the action.

If you don't want to accept the consequences of something you're thinking about doing, then don't do the thing!

Answer 4

yeah I do, you reap the consequences of your actions. If you don't like the consequences then don't do the action. If I was her I would make the school call when ever you have to bring back anything with a signature on it to make sure one of your parents signed and not you.

Answer 5

Well you are old enough to know that with bad choices, there can be bad consequences. Your mother is trying to teach you this and yes she is being fair. You must learn this lesson now while you are still young. Learn to make better choices and you will have better consequences.

Answer 6

Your mom is Right On the Money.....I did that one.....Been there Done that......It was my report card.....I forged my dad's name because it was sloppy and EASY to forge.....I got my butt whipped and grounded From Everything.....I was in High School and I Knew Better......If I were you.....I would tell mom.....Let me take care of it and take responsibility.....Let me grow up on this one......She may or may not let you.....Dad on the other hand.....well good luck.

Answer 7

Yes i do think it is fair. At 15 you should know that this was wrong to do, you should step up and pay the price of punishment. Admit to your mistake and hope for forgiveness

Answer 8

yes, because you need to learn a lesson. if you can rationalize with your mother and compromise on an internal punishment it will save you some embarassment and it will also demonstrate your willingness to accept responsibility and gain her trust in you. it will be a huge step toward adulthood.

Answer 9

yes it is fair as hard as it is to learn its a good lesson for you.next time just get your mom or dad to sign the paper themselves no matter what they will always get more mad if you compound them problem by hiding the truth from them and they might start to wonder if you can be trusted,believe me its much harder to regain trust from a parent then to maintain it.

Answer 10

I think that your mom is doing the correct thing. Obviously thats something that you shouldnt have done unless you were hiding something.
