Grounded, suspended, these are the repercussions of today's society, to deal with the numerous numbers of disobedience, within school and also at home. Parents today are simply taking control as the numbers increase, reducing the time length in which we normally have for our extracurricular activities, which happens to be one of the embarrassing things of all time, having a "curfew". Not be able to participate in weekend festivities, with your friends can be really depressing, "only if you would've put your phone up in 3rd period," you wonder. So I came up with a way to avoid the trials and tribulations of being grounded or suspended from school, "pay attention, as I share some tips with you".

Most teenagers today are receiving many disciplinary referrals, in which entitles you to a sentence, of 3 to 4, hours of your saturday morning when, you can still be in bed sleeping. Luckily, that early morning session of boring sit-in hours can easily be avoided, at the end of the day when class is over, go have a chat with your teacher. Address the situation, convince them to realize that you are greatly, sympathetic toward your actions that were presented, earlier the day of class. Ask can you do some extra homework, in-regards to you being punished. Yes, I know you will have to miss an hour or so, of after school fun be trust me its better than losing 3 or 4 hours of sleep on a saturday, or a punishment much worse like, suspension.

Suspension, now this one here is a little more extensive than the last one, not only do you receive a term of no more then 1-10 days of schooling, but your grade also is affected in return. Missing that much work is going to be a little difficult, because you know how much you wanna go outside, with your friends. Now this to can also be avoided, by following a little example of mine, first I received lunch duty, come on now you should know me by now, I did'nt go. For not completing lunch duty the gave me after-school detention to teach me a lesson, hmm... like that scared me, I skipped out on that also. Then they assigned me to saturday school, now that one made me laugh, me?, spend a day of my saturday in school, they cound'nt be serious I skipped, that too. Less than two days later I was called in the office, he handed me a slip of paper that, read Dear Parent , of James Holder, your child has been suspend from school for a total of 1 day, he will return to school on Monday November 3, 2008. At this point, Im thinking cool, I get to miss
