Well since there was an accident and she is only 14 and sneaking out of the house, then yes a month will be fine. She is not only being punished for sneaking out, if that were the case, then I'd just ground for the next 2 weekends. BUT she snuck out, is ONLY 14, went with a boy AND got into an accident. Considering the circumstances, a month is fine. They need to discipline her now or else it will get worse. Do you want your little sister to be the pregnant ? I hope you answer no.

It's not too much, but it depends on what you are grounding her for. I was grounded when I was 16 from my boyfriend because I snuck him into the house in the middle of the night. A few weeks later I skipped school, so I could see him. We were in an accident as well. My mother never grounded me then on from the things she knew I would do anyways, and I became more responcible about my choices. Make sure she know WHY you are grounding her. Not just because it's a rule not to, but because you care about her well being and don't want her to get hurt. But, yes, ground her.

A month? No way, I bet she doesnt do it again.. think about it.. lets look at it from your parents point of view!! Its their responsiblity as parents to protect their babies ( I know you may feel like you and your sister arent babies, but you will always be your mommas baby in her eyes ) When you sneek out and they dont know where you are you cant imagine the horror and worry a parent feels.. And the fact that she got into a wreck made it worse on her already worried nerves... What if the accident WAS serious, and your sister was really hurt.. can you imagine how the parents would feel... a punishment like that is not harsh... its the parents way of saying. hey you messed up really bad, and we cant have that happen again.. Id say your sister is lucky to have parents that care so much, think about those teenagers that have parents that dont care what they do, or where they go, or who they hang out with. I know at your age that may sound like the dream parents to have, but its not.. to have parents that ground you and love you enough to keep your heads on straight.. I promise one day when your older and have kids of your own.. you'll do it too!! Then you will laugh because you turned into your parents!!

Thankfully nobody got hurt, but if she hadn't snuck out nothing would have happened. It's all about doing things you aren't supposed to. I don't think a month is too harsh at all. Most of the time, your parents set up rules for a reason, not because we like to hear ourselves talk.

No, I don't think it's too much. Obviously she isn't making good decisions. this should help her stop and think. My friends sister snuck out one night and was killed while she was riding her bicycle to her boyfriend's house. I'm sure her parents wish they would have had the chance to ground her. Your parents make rules to keep you safe, not make you miserable. You may not believe it but they were teenagers once, too. They understand more than you think. Talk to your parents and tell your friend to talk to hers too. They love you and want the best for you.

No it is not too much. She deserves it for sneaking out of the house.

NO! I have a 14 yo and if he were to do what your sister did, he'd be lucky to see the outside world when he's 15.

A month sounds like too little.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is lucky to be alive!
She needs to learn to respect your parents and their love and concern for her. Being a parent is an extremely difficult job. You learn really fast to be your child's enemy. Children just do NOT think a parent has the right to tell them what to do - NOT!!!
Until a child moves out on their own; they must do what their parent's tell them or suffer the consequences!!!!!!!!!!!!!
