What should I do??? :(?
So my mom's not usually mean, or strict. But, I guess she can be in this situation.
I got caught stealing. And all that happened is that I was sent home.
I'm grounded for a month; No phone, Laptop, TV, or MUSIC.
The only reason I have my laptop is for 'Summer Reading'.
I've cried every single night for the past week that I've been grounded.
My mother doesn't know that I suffer from depression, or that I cut.
And being stuck in this house is not helping that, at all.
I threatened to run away, and all she did was laugh.
I can't sit in this house for 3 more ******* weeks.
It's just me, and my mother.
No one else
What should I do?
:'(

Its time to sit down with your mom, how lucky that you have all this extra time to do so since you cant go out, and tell her the truth about your emotional state so that you can get some help. Stealing is actually a symptom of severe depression, and if you dont get some help soon youre going to be in real trouble. See this as your alarm bell ringing, its time to get some help for yourself sweetie.

the best thing to do when you are grounded is redecorate and/or rearrange your room! it helps the time go by, and you should feel a little more refreshed by the time your punishment is over. like having a new start, HINT HINT. i wouldnt suggest telling your mother that you cut because some think you do it for attention and others try too desperately to get you to see a psychologist or shrink. HOWEVER, you should find a school couselor or another adult to tell them about your emotional state because you are really gonna go too far one day and its not gonna be pretty for anyone. anyways...you should also help your mother around the house so she could forgive you easier. try learning to cook dinner, something easy if you arent too familiar with the kitchen lol help her by also taking out the trash (if there arent any men around). every little thing you do helps...and i believe that your mother would appreciate your help and see that you are truly sorry for your stealing. if you are lucky, she might even shorten your days of being grounded. good luck! ;)

Try talking to your mom. Tell her how you feel. If you are truly sorry for stealing and understand that it was wrong, sincerely tell her that. Maybe you can open up to each other and your relationship can become much much stronger.
If this isn't something you feel comfortable with, google things to do when bored. I am assuming you are allowed on the internet since you posted this question. Crafts, read a book, chores around the house. There is a lot to keep busy with even though you don't have your electronics.
