Drunken mishap

I’m 15 years old and about 2 weeks ago I got/was caught drunk for the first time by my parents. I knew I was drunk so I asked my parents to get me cause I felt awful. I guess that was pretty dumb.but I thought I was being responsible cause I thought I might have had alcohol poisoning. I ended up throwing up out the window of my moms car on the way home. I’m now grounded till college. Any advice? I’ve tried explaining to my parents that that was the only time I’ve really drunk and that I know I screwed up and I really just want to prove to them that I’m trustworthy. plus, its summer and its not fair that I’m not allowed out, especially after getting A’s on all my finals. What do I do???

Answer #1

omg, I actually agree with amblessed, bound to happen once I suppose… You did the right thing calling them. No matter what, they’d rather you call them than not. Now, just give it some time. You’re not grounded till college. I doubt you’re grounded the rest of summer (really, because if you had parents who did that, I dont think you’d have gotten drunk in the first place, you’d be locked up at home) I know time seems to crawl, but really, they wont be mad forever. Just keep that in mind, try not to whine too much about being grounded, and they’ll get over it eventually… oh and dont go out and get drunk at the age of 15 again…

Answer #2

sneak out!!! or bribe them or blackmail themm (thats what I did) haha or find out when they first got drunk good luck ‘Ox

Answer #3

I’ve been in that situation to. Except my parents took it differently. They were glad I called instead of getting a ride home with someone drunk. Now I am able to go out as long as I call unless I am staying there but not during sports. Advice dont argue with your parents. Do as they say anything they ask do it no matter how much you dont want to. They will come around.

Answer #4

You did do the right thing - when a child is in trouble, they should call their parent - that said, you made a poor decision to get throwing-up drunk - no doubt scared your parents - apologize again and ask ‘please’ for a chance to prove you can be responsible - tell them you know you messed up big time - it won’t happen again - at least you made the good / responsible decision to call them once you knew you were in trouble…I wish you the best !!
