  • well that punishment is a little much, unless you are in trouble alot. I would have punished you, but not pull you from school
  • I would not pull you from school unless there was more... but if you refuse to make more intellegent decisions then yeah, I'd watch you like a hawk. my kid drinks alchohol he will suffer, but then again I am one of few parents who is not hypocritical in that. I do not drink.
  • If I were your parent, I'd do a lot more than just homeschool you, little girl. You don't want to become who you're on the way to becoming. Your parents know that, and they're trying to HELP you, not hurt you. Listen to them while you still can.
  • I think they are trying to control something that they cant!!! I think they need to be more open to you age and you choices...but I do think that you need to think about what you are doing to your self and make wiser decisions!!! Dont drink... unless you are not going to leave... and for the boy... just be careful he is older and he has been there done that!!!
  • It is probaby not about fair or unfair. The issue is about your parents wanting success for you. If you want to talk to them about the issue, you need to talk to them about where you want to go, where they want you to go, and then you need to have a discussion about how to get there. They probably thought you were on a slippery slope, and it is your responsibility to demonstrate otherwise. It is not the time to tell them that they are not fair. They will perceive that as childish and it will reinforce the decision to keep a very strict eye on you.
  • You got off easy with your behavior...
  • That is way over the top, it's not even that bad. I know people who have done much worse and they are doing fine, in fact uni graduates with high paying jobs. Isolating you from society and making friends is really going to help you contribute to society hmm ;/ (sarcasm)
  • You shouldn't be drinking at 14, it's bad for your kidneys, liver, brain, heart, circulatory system and more or less every peripheral system in your body. Until you're older drinking now is going to basically ensure you can't drink as an adult because your body will shut down. I wouldn't homeschool you, but you need to stop drinking.
  • r u kidding? my parent wouldnt care about any of that i have brother that go out when ever they please and i make out with whom ever i please and for u ppl that think me and my bros are gonna turn into bad ppl get over urself my bro makes the deans list in college thats straight As and he drinks when ever he can...i think what ur parent did was nuts but if thats how they feel this should be handled thats there choice...maybe try to get close with one of them and explain why u did it...they were young once to..im sure they did the same shit
  • To answer your question I have to ask some questions. So are you saying that your parents are using home schooling as punishing you or a way of straightening you out? Do you have have history of disiplinary problems -you don't sound very responsible. Are they the least bit qualified to home school you?
  • idk, did you fuck him? you arnt really going down a good road but i dont think your parents should be homeschooling you, home school makes kids really weird
  • life ain't fair sweatheart ...... but that actually is.
  • I think you should maybe be grounded or something along the lines of that, but surely not homeschooled. that is absolutely outrageous.
  • Yes sweetheart, I do think that is fair. You have very responsable parents that love you a lot. You'll appreciate them someday.
  • Sorry this was a duplicate answer.
  • yes. but only because you were caught doing both of them at the same time.
  • I can think of more drastic and less loving ways of handling teenage indiscretion. Underage drinking could end you up in a world of legal trouble. And making out with a 14-year-old could have gotten that guy on some heavy lists. So, having you somewhere where they can make sure your safe and away from alcohol and older guys, where they can help you learn how to make better choices (I apologize if this comes off as condescending. That is not my intent.) is not all that bad, all things considered.
  • I have to ask you this. Was drinking and kissing a 17 year old the ONLY thing you have been in trouble for? I would assume that you have been getting in trouble, I would assume your grades have dropped some (maybe not, but likely) and your parents, although the evil angry controlling people you perceive them to be, are actually loving nurturing and have seen from teh outside what you are doing. I'll leave you with my favorite quote. It came from Marx. When I was 20 I thought "My parents don't know anything" when I was 23 I though "My parents have learned a lot in the past 3 years"
  • I don't think it is fair to homeschool children, they should get a better education in most schools. If it were not the case, it would not be fair either for the community not to provide good schools for its children. Anyway, consider that your parents are trying to help you somehow and they do this because they probably don't know better. Suppose - in the worst case - that you get drunk and sleep with a guy (or get raped) and get pregnant: what are you going to do?
  • It sure sounds better than what I would do if you were my daughter.
  • First off I was not raised by my fater I was raised by my mother who did not drink!!! So I was raised very well!! Second He was not a heroin adict when we met!!! We dated for 7 years and only the last 8 months of our relationship was he using!!! I did not hang out with just one croud... I was friends with everyone... even the "jock" kids where smokin there pot before games!!! I only drank... I dont think I made that bad of choices compared to the kids I grew up with!! Even though all my friends where using some sort of drug I did not... So thank you!! If my mom would have tryed to home school me God only knows what I would have done but I know that It would have only made me make worse decisions, concidering that my friends where my life!!
  • No, it's not fair... you have MUCH better parents than you deserve. In other words, it's not unfair and it's not fair. It's better than fair! And when you're mature, you'll be very grateful to them for it.
  • i know if my daughter did that...she would love to be home schooled..because that isn't a punishment..at all..your lucky your parents are so good..i don't even know what to say to you without hurting your feelings...you shouldn't have done what you did...you'll get it when you get older trust me..be happy that nothing happened to you..and learn to make better decisions in your life..your parents aren't always going to be around to keep you safe
  • As you can see by your answers, there is no "right" answer to this. Every parent is different just as every person is different. Regardless of whether anyone else thinks it's fair or not, it's what you have to live with through the choices you've made. Making better choices in the future will help you avoid all of this. Live up to their expectations of your behavior. You can make mistakes, but some mistakes stay with you for a lifetime. Learn from the mistakes that you do make. Quit making this about your parents being right or wrong. Were you wrong? Yes, I think so. Pay the piper and learn from your mistakes.
  • Live is not FAIR. Learn that now and you are way ahead of the kids in school! Your parents did what they feel is best for you. Sitting on you and keeping you away from the temptations in hopes you will grow up and mature before you get into more trouble is one answer. Being an unwed mother, an alcoholic in an institution, a very unhappy married teen: these could happen also.
  • I just found this question, and you are several months into this thing now. If you are still on AB, I'd like to know how its going for you. I'm sad to say that what really isn't fair in all this is that the schools are so out of control that they really aren't safe places for kids to be anymore. What you did would have been a major offense 30 or 40 years ago that would have had the complete attention of your teachers and principals. They would have handled it there and you would have gone on to get a fine education. Nowadays, that is such a tiny offense as to not even be a blip on their radar. These days their attention is focused on trying to keep weapons out of school and drugs out of school and trying to keep the kids from having sex in the bathrooms. So if your parents want you to grow up with an education and a future and not with two kids from two different fathers born to you in your high school years, they took the best option open to them. Kudos to them. I'm hoping by now that you are finding that you can finish your schooling much earlier in the day at home and have time to do fun activities in the afternoon. I'm hoping you are finding that you can still have time for social things. I'm hoping you are enjoying the quiet when you study and then enjoying being able to focus fully on socializing when the work is done, without being told to sit down and shut up. Most of the kids I know that are your age and homeschooling love it. My neighbor down the street is homeschooling a girl just a year younger than you. Her daughter asked to be taken out of school and homeschooled. Her mom works nights, so this young lady is taking on a lot of the responsibility for her schooling herself. She still does cheerleading and has many other social activities, but she can study in quiet. Another young lady I know who is homeschooling is using the time she saves to become a competitive swimmer and possibly an Olympic hopeful. Another young man I know is using his extra time to play soccer. I think your parents are wise and loving people. Someone who didn't love you would leave you there until you really got in trouble, and then you'd spend the rest of your life coping with that unfairness.
  • No I don't. Kissing guys is a good thing. Drinking alcohol isn't at that young of an age. Being home schooled isn't going to prevent you from drinking if you really try to drink alcohol. I don't see how it solves anything.
  • Fair is a weather condition. Personally, I'm a big believer in homeschooling - when it's done right. I plan on homeschooling my own children until they decide they'd rather go to public school. You may not like their decision, but you're 14. They are trying to do what they believe is best for you. Suck it up and be glad you have parents that give a damn.
  • Seems a bit harsh, if you don't WANT to be homeschooled, and if you're telling the whole story...
  • What fair mean to you? I don't care about the kiss, what bothers me is that you are 14 and already dealing with alchohol and you still thing that life is not fair? Wow, your future is easy to predict and you know that.
  • life isnt fair dear...gonna have to get used to it...
  • @Brittany-a couple of blow hards got to talking and really never gave you time to reply to my answer/question- "To answer your question I have to ask some questions. So are you saying that your parents are using home schooling as a way punishing you or of straightening you out? Do you have have history of disiplinary problems -you don't sound very responsible. Are they the least bit qualified to home school you?"
