now does this seem fair to u????

Answer 1

well, yea. its kinda harsh if it is really 2 miles. but im sorry, if you wanted a more serious answer you shouldnt have stated your age becasue it just makes you seem like a winey teenager.

so you probably did talk back without realising it, i do it all the time lol.

and ppl also take oyur questions more seriously if you use the spell checker.

not trying to be mean, just helpin ;]  

Answer 2

No it's not!

Even if you should deserve a punishment this is very unfair and not logical and dangerous.

I think she is taking advantage of her position as a parent to tell you to do that because she doesnt want to go herself.

Answer 3

no not really

thts messed up wat ur mom is doin to u

Answer 4

if you really are being beaten with a rodeo buckle, you need to contact child services and report your Mom so that you can be taken out of the house and put into a foster home which might or might not be any better. the choice is yours.

Answer 5

NO ITS NOT FAIR JUST TALK TO HER ONE DAY AND SAY HOW U FEEL OR JUST SAY THAT U WONT GO TO THE SHOP COZ ITS TOOO FAR OR RUN AWAY SOME DAY GO TO THE SHOP WHEN YOUR MUM TELL U AND DONT COME BAK RIGHT AFTER STAY ONE NIGHT AT YOUR FRIENS

Answer 6

sounds fair.... don't talk back to your mom.

nice add on.... look you obiviously pushed you mom over the edge. your NOT telling us anything negitive from your end, like your just a angle being abused.

Bottom Line you are NOT mature enough to go it on your own or you wouldnt be living off your mom. and you are Not being fair to the one person in this world who supports you.

I Am Sure There Is More To It Than A Simple " talking back ".

Answer 7

No, your side of the story does not seem all together fair, (but life is not fair) There are always 3 sides to a domestic argument...your side, mom's side, and what actually happened.  We must really hear from mom to get a better grip on what happened here. so get mom in here and let her tell her side before any of us make a decision.

Answer 8

we can't make a comment unless we know more...

maybe she wants you to walk and carry weight for doing some healthy sports. Or she could try to teach you a lesson about spending much money, you know the car needs gas and gas needs money, you cant go to everywhere with the car.

and about talking back... don't forget she was 13 once. she knows much more than you, you should trust and respect her and try to talk to her sincerely i think.  

Answer 9

Unless your mom is a B*tch or someone who doesn't care i doubt that she is doing this to pick on you. You prolly did talk back. If she really is a b*tch then be the bigger person and don't complain or anything do what your told and the next time you mess up it will just be a slap on the wrist.

Answer 10

sound    dosent        

Answer 11

I think there are better ways than that

Answer 12

that is not fair

Answer 13

Ask your mom if there is another way you can serve your punishment, because you are afraid of gangs, etc. Offer to do chores around the house or something.

Just remember, you mom is under stress too. I'm sure she loves you but maybe isn't thinking straight right now.

Watch out for yourself if your parent's aren't. Growing up the way you are, I became a lot more mature and self-sufficient than most people my age.

But yeah, it definitely sucks while you're going through it. *hugs*

Answer 14

Your mother must have a good reason for making you walk to the store.  Remember, gas prices are close to $4 a gallon now, and so every time the car is not used, saves the family money.

Anyway it's good exercise for you, keeps you out of the house, off the computer and tv and is good life experience.

When you're 18, you can leave your home and do what you want when you want to.
