a question for teenage mums, whats a fair punishment for what i have done ?

whenever my mum trys to ground me i always sneak out, now my mum has put a lock on my bedroom door that can only be locked or unlocked with a key.

yesterday my mum got a letter from my school about my bad behaviour i lost my temper and told my mum to f--- off, my mum said she has had enough of my attitude and said i will be spending the whole weekend locked in my bedroom as punishment, i can"t stand being locked in so i have said i am sorry to my mum so i can escape lockdown, but she wont budge and said i will be locked up and thats that.

so all i am trying to do is see if i can get my mum to go easy on my lockdown punishment,

perhaps cut it done to just 1 day or even half a day, what are your opinions kind mums only please ?

    You have given your mom no choice but to take more serious actions for your behavior. If you don't want to get locked down, then you need to change your attitude and your actions. You are in control of your behaviors and actions, it is your mom's responsibility to make sure you are protected but you are making it impossible for her to trust you. Change your ways before it is too late for you and you wind up at a home for troubled teens. You are very lucky to have a mom who cares enough about you to stick to her guns and keep her word about your punishment. Try to show a little more respect for her and your school and you won't have to worry about being punished again. Being rebellious can only result in you getting into more trouble and I can promise you, it won't be worth it in the long run.

    Honestly you've blown your chances your mom has tried to just ground you and you choose to sneak out...so she has had to resort to locking you in, my advice is to face the punishment (that is a consequence to your actions) then work on your behavior don't tell your mom to f off that is crushing to a parent all they want (truly) is the best for their children and by your mom sticking by her punishment is her doing her best by you (even though is sucks at the time) So....treat your mom like the wonderful loving mom she is and remember that it is more stressful for her when you act up than you think! Don't do something that you'll look back on a regret!

    look, we have to be tough on teens cos we know what the worlds like and you're just finding out.

    My daughter snuck out one night and went off. She came back and I wouldn't have known but this man came to my door and said that he had seen her sneaking around and she was so lucky cos he thought at first she was an intruder and he was going to whack her but then he realised who it was. So, not safe!!!

    Do as your mom says. Accept punishment, and learn from it!!! Why are you behaving so bad? Ask if you can see the school psychologist and get your life sorted before something really bad happens.

    good on your mum for giving you a rightly deserved punishment, you cant just sneak out when grounded, now you have giving your mum NO choice but to lock you in your room, sorry but you deserve to be locked up and punished,
