I got caught shoplifting, my parents said they don't want to see me go to jail, so are punishing me severely, they have sentenced me to 2 weeks imprisonment, I am confined to my room and my bedroom door is locked, we are having a heatwave and I have been SHUT away in my room for 4 days, I am BORED , FED UP and VERY miserable, because its so hot and sunny I asked my parents if I could go and sit in the garden for a couple of hours, they said NO NO NO my punishment is to have my freedom taken away which means NO going out and that's the end of it I have stay in my room and my bedroom door stays locked.
IS THIS PUNISHMENT FAIR ?
DO YOU THINK I SHOULD BE ALLOWED OUT INTO THE GARDEN ?

ps my parents lock my door because I have sneaked out before when grounded.

Not necessarily unfair. Two weeks isn't so long, in the larger scheme of things. Meditate. Read. Write. Draw cartoons. Make plans for your future. Heck, you're on the internet !!!!! Chill.

When you get out you'll have a much higher appreciation of the garden, and will be less likely to mess up again.

But they allow you to have Internet.

You need to understand their concern, because if it was a large-scale misconduct, you would be in prison. :oops:

They protect you :roll:
