I did the stupidest things back in the summer and last year as well and I seriously regret them now. I smoked cigarettes last year and got caught, smoked marijuana last year and got caught and finally I stole some make-up back in the summer and got caught as well. I know all of you guys are going to think wow what a dumb, selfish kid. But right now I have changed so much and I think I've changed deep down as well since before I was so superficial thinking I couldn't survive without all my make-up and go to school with no new clothing, makeup or cellphone.
Now I have cleaned my act together and it's been four months since the incident.
I have
- gotten a weekend job
- pulled my grades up mostly As
- the only time I ever went out was to go to school, work, volunteer at the local dog shelter or to the gym
- never raised my voice or argued with my parents
- did lots of housework, cooking, always did my homework/projects weeks before any of it was due
- never asked for anything from my parents
How should I ask them to possibly give me back my make-up? They are really reasonable at most times, they even said they would take me Christmas shopping but I just really miss my make-up mostly. Please help =(
Suggestion:
It's good that you regret what you've done (don't let that regret take over your life though) and have cleaned up your act. The only make up you mention in your question though is the make up you stole. Hopefully that was given back to the store. It's not yours to be given back to you. Just because you had some consequences doesn't mean what you stole belongs to you.
I think you should be able to buy some with your own money though, but that would depend on how long your consequence is. Maybe it's longer than 4 months. Talk to you parents. Ask them what you need to do to be able to buy make up again. It doesn't really have anything to do with convincing your parents (so many kids wrongly think it's the parents that need convincing to let them do something). It's all about consequences for actions. Talk to your parents and negotiate your consequences if you are able to. If not, then just accept them as they are and continue along the road you've started on to clean up your act.
