i was at my friends house. and we were watching the packer game. it was getting late, i had school the next day so my mom called me. i was in the basement with no reception so i didnt know that she called. a while later she called again and i answered and cut out. then she called me back extremely pissed off because i didnt call her back, so she grounded me for the weekend.
I thought that was unfair, so last night i got mad and decided to go sledding with my friends without telling my parents, i told my brother to tell my parents after i had left. after sledding, i went to my friends house, and myparents called and told me to come home at 12 but decided to sleep over insted
my parents took away almost everything. i had a trip planned to go to florida to see my best friend, and now they wont let me go and im grounded from everything except my computer indefinetely. i cant leave my room. i can live with being grounded for a month, but i want to see my friend more than anything. :(

You didn't follow your parents rules so you have to accept your punishment.

Well all I can say is "Tough!". Actually I'm ROFL; you treat your mum like that and you wonder why she has you stuck in your room indefinitely!!! Let's face it: it's probably the ONLY way she could think of to know where you were.
You don't say how old you are, I'm 15 and reckon you should just be thankful that the ONLY thing you've got to worry about is how you're going to get out of your room (before you turn 18 anyway, lol!!). If your mum was remotely anything like my mum, you'd have heaps more to worry about than her making you stay in and stopping you from seeing your friends for a bit. Mind you, if your mum was anything like mine, you wouldn't have dared treat her so badly in the first place...not if you had half a brain cell in your head anyway.
Still, the whole fact that being stopped from going to see your best friend has you bothered will just tell your parents that they picked on the right punishment for you. Getting punished is meant to bother you (and the more the better as far as most parents are concerned!) so there's no way that your parents are going to back down and allow you to go and see your best mate when you're meant to be getting punished. Accept it, email your mate and re-arrange your visit...that's probably the best you can hope for now.
Anyway, how do you get out in the meantime? You could try apologising or try grovelling, lol. If your mum's letting you keep the computer then you can at least email/IM/PM your mate (Can't work out why she'd do that though, kind of making me think your post is bull$hit. What parent in their right mind would shut their kid away in their room 24/7 and take everything else away from them but then happily leave them with access to the whole wide world via the computer (!!!!)...thus also enabling them to come onto YA and talk about how bad they've been and how hard done by they are now because of it!!! ).
Anyway, if you really are dinkum, you can use the computer to buy your mum a prezzie to make up for causing her all the strife. You could try that and hopefully by then she'll have calmed down enough to at least put a time limit on how long you're grounded for.
This is, of course, if you're not big enough to just admit you were wrong, apologise and take your punishment without whingeing/crying/complaining about it (believe me: NOTHING unnerves parents more, LOL!!!).
Or, if you don't mind spending the rest of your life stuck in your room (or your mum putting you on a leash and making you follow her around 24/7)...do you have any windows in your room?!? LOL! No, I'm not serious; I don't mean that!

You are paying the consequences for your actions. Next time listen to your parents. When you were watching the Packer's game, you should have called to ask if you could have stayed later, explaining that it was a one time deal and that watching the game was important. You should have accepted your punishment for that, done your weekend grounding, and it would have been over by tomorrow morning. Now you are stuck in a bigger hole. Be more responsible, do what they tell you (they have your best interests at heart), apologize for being irresponsible, work out a deal for calling them to let them know where you are and if you are going to be late. Let them know that you understand their concern and you want to do your part so that they don't worry about you. Then ask them if it is ok if your grounding is put on hold for the time you are in Florida, that you will resume your punishment of a month's grounding when you come home (making up the time you are in Fl, by adding it to the end of your punishment). And that during the time you are in Fl, that you will adhere to any rules they have and check in with them. Good luck.

Well, you brought this on yourself. After the first incident you should have just gone along with what your mom said. Parents make rules and enforce punishment to teach their kids a lesson.
(I was never grounded as a kid)
Make an appeal to your parents. Tell them that you were just so angry that you "acted out" and that you are terribly sorry for disobeying them. Write a letter. You have to do something to get back into their good graces even if that means kissing up.
They may tell you that they made the rule, you broke it so now you have to face the concequences. You may also try to compromise with them---offer to clean or help out around the home for a "reduced sentence". Even in jail they give you credit for good behavior.
Good Luck

So what's the problem? I can understand the cell phone problem, it happens. Then you decided to sneak out and go sledding and disobeyed them after that. Gee, I wonder why you got slammed? The trip to Florida? well that would wait until spring, {maybe}. What strikes me as strange is that you go sledding but plan a solo trip to Florida. Just how old are you ?

Look there is just somethings that you should go by your parents rules, the first time things happened when she called you 3 times and you were in the basement how did you not know that she was not tryin to call you, you just have to go by their rules sometimes. Maybe you can actually do better, and beg your mom can you just go to florida.

Well, gee! Why don't you sneak out again. Then you will lose your computer and another month of your time.
If you had taken the weekend grounding in the first place, you wouldn't be asking this question.
Fairness has nothing to do with any of it. You broke the rules and now there are consequences.

too bad too sad
u have not respected your mother at all this week and since your just a kid she can tell u to keep ur butt in place. u shouldve thought about all that b4 u snuck out to sled or decided to sleep over ur buddy;s house. she gave u a lot of chances. my mother wouldve probably came to my friends house and taken my butt home and smacked me all the way back while she drove w/her free hand.

If you can leave your room to go to the bathroom before you do make a note then on the way to the bathroom, post the note somewhere where your mom can see it

You should listen to your parents. They love you and only want what is best for you. Take your punishment and learn from your mistakes.
