if ur reading this, i know what ur thinking: why duz the dumbass post it here if he doesnt want anyone to read it? i dont know...i just want somewhere to write down what happened today kuz i feel bad about what i did. I know the title says not to read this but i know at least one person will...i dont really kare.

My parents are out of state in virginia; me and my bro and sis are home with my grandparents. basically since we are never given any privelages to go to the movies alone, go out with friends, ect ect, we decided to get out and have some fun even though it was against the rules. My older sister had one of her friends (i will call her sarah; she is a responsible 18 year old; strait a's...u get it) make a deal with her. Basically, we would lie to our gparents and tell them we were going to a neighbor's house to watch a movie when in reality we were going to sneak into sarah's (my sis' friend) car and she would drive us to the movies to see pirates of the carribean. Yea; we lied but we didnt actually do anything bad; we saw a movie; thats it, and we came back.
what a surprise! we got a smack down when we came back. i knew it. now my grandparents dont trust me.

IF you are a kid; the point of the story is: dont lie to anyone you love; you'l regret it.

IF you are an parent the moral is: try not to limit your kid's freedom too much or else they WILL eventually disobey you*or at least want to...

*results not 100% absolute

thats the only time iv ever screwed up bad in my 15 year life span and it hurtz to know my grandpa doesnt trust me now...hes holding on to life for his family and iv dissapointed him...dam

Oh lordy. I feel sorry for you- and grateful at the same time that my parents were A LOT more liberal than yours seem to be.. I think it is perfectly normal that you want to get out and have fun at the age of 15. How old are your sibs? What about your friends, are they allowed to go to the movies?
Honestly, I'm a bit shocked.

...my sister is 17 and my bro is 13. My sis' friends ARE allowed to go to the movies-they are 17,18 and they drive. heh...thanks for ur thoughts

I think you are a truly genuine individual for feeling bad about lying. Shows that you have a good heart.

Your gparents will get over it but just try to be honest with them.

The fact that you feel bad about lying to go see a movie should gain you some trust. Many kids your age are doing a heck of a lot worse than that, and don't think twice about lying about it either.

Hmmmm...this Memorial Day weekend, my parents were gone but I needed to stay so I could go to work. I had a kegger...and the ****ing neighbors busted me with the cops.

"dont lie to anyone you love; you'l regret it. "

Then why lie in the first place if you're going to regret it? I feel bad for you. Somehow you're ganna have to build up trust and start earning "brownie points" /w your elders. Obviously your Gparents care a lot about you and your safety.

I think you need to remind you parents there is a fine balance between being too restricted and too free. I too had somewhat stunted social development when I was younger.

I think a lot of parents struggle with that one. I do, and my kids are young (one is 3, the other is 5mos old).

Knowing that rules must be enforced, yet to what extent? My job as a mother is to keep them safe, but also to prepare them to live on their own and make responsible decisions as adults.

If, in the future, they are allowed to roam freely, I'm not doing my job of keeping them safe. However, if I don't let them "roam" enough, they aren't learning how to make their own choices and decisions. It's a very tough thing to balance.

Ok...First of all did you apologize to your grandparents? Make sure you do, that will go a LONG way.

Secondly, if sneaking outt o the movies is the worst offense you guys have done, then your parents should be thankful you are all good kids.

The real world is not nice and you can not be sheltered from it. When I was a HS kid, we used to take the train from Suburban NJ to NYC Manhattan, we were able to hit an Irish pub and have drinks galore. (yes at 15) We used to hop on the train and head back home. Looking back, we did some really stupid things as teens, but they sure were fun and is part of life.

So don't get distraught over this, your family will forgive you, if they don't you need to have a talk with them. Everyone lies at some point in their life and you could be a far worse kid.

Don't beat yourself up, part of a kids job is to test the boundries, and that is what you did. your parents need to losen up a bit...

When I came home drunk at the age of 15 my parents didn't get mad.....nope...instead they told me to change a lightbulb in the bathroom..(tough location) and extremely tough when your drunk...LOL At that point I realized I wasn't fooling anyone "trying " to act sober...my parents let me sleep it off, and shouted at me the next morning when I had a hang over!! You see they learned from my older brothers and sisters...there are ways to handle things and kids will do stupid things, as long as their safe that is the bottom line. We had a rule after that, if I were to drink I was either to sleep at my friends house, or call for a ride....I didn't sneak around and I was always straight up with my parents. It worked out well, I learned a lesson and responsibility, not be being forced down my throat, but by Compromise.

Talk to your parents tell them how you feel and you would like to have some freedoms....someday you will hit the real world and it ain't so pretty

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Well, I don't know your parents/grandparents personally, but I do know that some parents views of "fair" can be very skewed. Although we may think, oh he just went to the movies, that's not that bad, he's a good kid, other adults may think otherwise. I was banned from seeing my best friend when I was 16 because I wore two different colored shoes and wore my hair kinda crazy. I didn't do drugs or steal or anything, but she couldn't see past that, to her I was a bad kid. Once she caught me outside at 5:30 and started yelling at me that she couldn't beleive my mother would let me out that late alone. Later my best friend and I got in an accident, she had snuck out so we could go to our clarinet state finals competition. (she wasn't allowed to go because I was driving) Her mother kicked her out of the house. Just for being with me. She had to move in with me. Most of my friend's parents don't like me, none of my boyfriends' parents have ever liked me. (I wasn't allowed in my high school boyfriend's house) and teachers didn't trust me either. (My high school band director told me not to go to college for music) I kinda went on for a while there, but I just wanted to say that you never know what parents are going to think is "out of control."

Kitty is right....Growing up in NJ and now living in Georgia.....Well.....they all think I am crazy, and I think they all are crazy....

each to their own I suppose, but mend those fences, that is for sure, if they can't forgive you, then that is their lose you only live once.

I have an 18 year old daughter and I will tell you what I told her each time she got caught doing something she shouldn't have. I would tell her she is a good kid but made a poor choice. As long as she learned from the situation then it was a valuable lesson. I agree - talk to your grandparents. They won't trust you for a while. Trust has to be earned and over time you will win their trust back. Good luck to you.
