Ungrounding? best way to talk with parents?

So I've been grounded for about 2 months. I feel wrongfully punished.I am currently grounded from my phone, car, and facebook/myspace. I was initially punished for not having my scholarship and college stuff done yet. I got all that completed on time ...

in early february. I understand the first punishment, and accept that now. But the extra month is over the top in my opinion. They say I didnt impress them. I got all my stuff done on time, and I got a 3.66 (3 a's 2 b's 1 d, I had 3 ap classes) I know thats not the best and up to my standard, but I had a ton of family diistractions. It is my senior year and I cant do what I want with my friends. I don't know what to do. This is ruining senior year. I plan on addressing all this in the upcoming week, but I dont know how. Whenever I try and talk to them they twist my words and play me out to be that bad guy (theyr;e both teachers, so its hard 2 win and argument with them) I was thinking about writing a letter so I can just give them my opinion w/o them butting in. Would that be a good idea? if you have any other suggestions please let me know. thanks

Can you talk to a guidance counselor at school? If they are both teachers, as you say, I don't understand why they don't understand that college and scholarship paperwork are a forevergoing process. I feel that in this situation here that they just want to bust your @$$. Maybe they're having issues knowing that soon their son is going to be going off to college, and want to keep you home as much as possible. Are you their only/ youngest child? If so, what I think is probably accurite. Perhaps they don't realize that you won't talk to them much after you move out because if all of the $#!^ that they're putting you throug now. They'll write Dear Abby years from now asking why their son doesn't call them; people do it all the time. They never take the time to wonder what they might have done to form such a child/parent relationship. Your parents sound so much like my friends parents its eerie (is that how you spell it?).

Writing a letter is an excellent idea. Make sure you're very clear (AND POLITE.) Restate your strongest ideas and feelings if necessary. If you're mature about this, they'll be much more likely to see you as mature enough to be ungrounded. Pray the Lord gives you wisdom patience!

Respectfully, write a letter and present your side and apologize where needed.

As a parent, a polite letter would probably really give me a chance to re-think the choices. I think a letter is a great idea.
