I am going to guess that she wants to know what you will do, like chores, guarantees that you are going to be home on time, and what the consequences will be if you don't. I would write out your agreement, like a contract, to show her you are serious, and put in everything that you are willing to do, and if they aren't completed what the consequenses are going to be. Sign it, and ask her to sign it. This will show her you are aware of the problem, and you are willing to do something about it to change! Very mature and responsible. That is all parents want to see. Good luck!

give up the car for awhile. If she says be home at 12, be home at 11. it is really weird how that makes parents feel good. My mother had the worst punishment for missing curfew with out a phone call and a good reason for being late, You had to be up at 6 AM or earlier the next day and no lazing about. Worse was if we were late on Saturday night, she'd get us out of bed at 6 and we would have to be dressed up and go to church with her. Oh and no nap if you were going out that night. Taught me right quick to not miss curfew or at the very least call when I was going to be late. If I had a teenager I'd do the same thing. Show them that you can be responsible and they will change their tune.

Tell her how important this is (and don't whine or complain!) Offer to come in 30 minutes before curfew and then stick with it. I think she just wants to know you are going to respect her rules. And then why not ask her to spend tomorrow afternoon watching a DVD with you. Spend some time together. She will see you are a good kid and maybe she will cut you some slack. Hope you get to go to the party.

She's probably trying to get you to think of things that you can do around the house or for her. Is there something that needs cleaning or organizing? Are there dishes to wash or floors to clean or vacuum. Are there bathrooms to clean? Do you have younger brothers or sisters that you could offer to take care of another day? Maybe you should offer to cook dinner tomorrow? Think about all the things your mother does to make your life easier and make your house run smoother. Offer to do some of those things. It will show great responsibility and kindness on your part.

well if you drive then give up the car, or if they are paying for you cell, then turn that over. but the best thing you can do is tell them that you will take any punishment they have for you, you only want to go to your friends party tonight. but a little piece of advice if you know you have something important coming up do not mess up or your parents will flip

this is what u do u check what ur mother has in mind if u like it then go with it if not then ur on ur own and trust u will have a hard time thinking of one b/c my mother does that to me all the time. if this is the frist time ur parents said that to u then it is a test, and if ur wronng u will not go to the party at all. but tell ur parents u love them probably that will soften them up and maybe u will b allowed to go well see what happens if ur parents are nice they'll let u go well good luck!!!!

Ask her can you two set up a score system starting with 10 points everytime you misbehave a point is taken away and then your mom can take whatever she wants away. If you lose all your points you have to give up the car for a week!
