AUTHOR: Grounding a Teen
One day, when you mother is in a good mood, go up to her and say "You know mom, grounging me and punishing me doesnt really help me get better grades. And im not trying to get out of this grounding thing...its that I wactually eant to do better in school. Maybe if i have some support, then I could do better. And if you wouldbt mind, maybe on some extra time of yours you could help me with a couple things. My friends tell me that this is what theyr parenst do, and it works. Can we please try working together?"
I no most of this might not be true, but it can work. And if you mom is one of those moms who interupts constantly,....write it on a piece of pape- that way- she cant interupt u! and in order for her to actually help you, you might actually have to start studying as hard as u can. and really try to improve your grades, in order 2 make your mom think you are realy willing to do well. But dont just stop studying after you finally got a B or an A, keep studying! It may not be the best thing to do- trust me, id also rather hang out with my friends, but I need to study. I want to go to a good college and be a lawyer, and even though you might not want to be all of this. getting a B on your report card is just as good. make sure you make your mom proud. Then she'll be on your good side, and you wont get grounded as much.
