Personal Addition #6

This last week and a half I have been what you call grounded. It was for very good reasons I suposse but to be honest I think the whole being grounded gesture is such a joke and very over played. Parents ground you to try and teach you responsibility right? the reason I was grounded was for lying to them about a party I was going to. Now, this party was being held at my best friends house who just so happens to be the son of my parents best friends. So, I didnt lie to them completely. I told them I was going to a party. I just didnt say whos party it was. Anyways, they found out about it later on... my fault for showing up to my door at 5 am in what I will describe as being in rough shape. Long story short, i'm now grounded for a little while... yes I have learnt my lesson on drinking. Take it easy and stop going over board. But, that has nothing to do with being grounded. Its just my own choice. Now that im grounded ive been catching myselef "working" lots. Telling them I have been picking up shifts and really going to hang out with friends. So... does grounding really help or even work? in my opinion.... no. What about yours?
