But wait wait WAIT....how are you on here if you lost your phone and computer? Odd.

Can't be too bad if you have a laptop or some type of computer since you are asking this question. Why not just stay in touch with friends online? Or you could ask your mum if you could "serve out the rest of your time" by going to the shops to pick up stuff so then at least you get out of the house. Maybe washing her car or cooking a meal, tiding the house or your room; all these things could help shorten your grounding.

Try to explain to your mum that you know what you did was wrong but it was because you cared for your friend a lot and were worried; she may reconsider.

Did your friend lose his hands in a horrifying threshing accident? Perhaps they got burned pulling (but not fondling!) a baby from a fire? I'm actually pretty curious what the "good cause" is here. Bottom line is you betrayed your parent's trust. And your "good cause" didn't sway them to go lenient on you, which means it was probably pretty flimsy, though I'm totally curious to see what you told them and what you think is a "good cause"

"He's Norwegian and he said the wool on his mittens chafe!"

"He said he has two hands, but they're going through a hard time and as soon as he feels he can, he's leaving them"

"The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing and neither of them understand him like you do"

"He's stressed out because all he can hear is the ticking of a clock and his one good hand is all worn out"

Do you have a TV? If so then watch TV, take up your time with reading, writing, drawing, etc. Think of stuff to do with the stuff around you. I don't know how you could get less grounding time, but i hope this helped.

you deserve to be grounded - giving a HAND JOB GROSS. ;P if you wanted to get away from camp for a friend why didn't you call your parents and explain what happened

Tell them about your friend and persuade them that you were doing it for her
