No Im speaking as I remember your situation and as a parent Ask how you can come to some sort of arrangement like a trial of you going out he is doing it to see how you react, if you react childishly he will treat you that way.

Don't tell him off. That'll just get you in more trouble. I don't know what you did, but I'm sure it warranted grounding. However, I doubt it warrants your dad taunting you and calling you a lonely loser. What you can do is calmly ask your dad to not call you that anymore. Tell him you accept your punishment, but you don't think that being teased is very fair and it hurts your feelings. Calling you names is just insulting and childish.

Ummm, I'm only getting one side of the story. You've been grounded for MONTHS? Does your punishment fit the crime? Be honest. I would never have called my kids a lonely loser. Telling him off will only add fuel to the fire. I would freak him out and ask him to get me some books from the library so that I could read and study more!

When my kids still lived at home and did something that deserved punishment, I would ground them. I would not put a specific duration of the grounding. They would have to come to me and ask when it would end. My daughter was grounded for 67 days one time. I don't even remember what the transgression was but she's 44 now and still brings it up at times. We have a good laugh about it. To answer your question. No. It would probably result in additional time. I don't suppose you would tell us what your transgression was.
