So I'm 16 years old. On December 14 I was going to a play with a couple of my friends. I decided to skip practice that day and I drove around, trying to kill some time-not doing. My dad called me and asked where I was. Well I lied and told him I was at school, which seemed a lot easier because it was much quicker to say. Well next thing I know he calls me and he finds out that I'm not at school because he came to school to see if I was there. He told me to immediately come home
When I got home he was really mad and took my car away, which I understand. He also took back my Christmas present. I went to school for 3 days that next week not being able to drive and no track practice. My mom had to drive me to school and pick me up from the bus because the bus didn't even go near my stop which was actually her work, not home. Anyways Christmas came and I didn't get anything from my dad, my uncle gave me a phone holder to go on the dash of my car, my brother gave me little things for my car, and my mom got me a nice socket set to work on my car. My dad said I didn't even need a socket set because my car if perfectly fine, the set was for maintenance. So in the end I can't use any of my Christmas presents. Christmas sucked besides seeing family which was fun...I guess that's what really matters.
I understand that I got my car taken away, but it's been almost 3 weeks now! My mom has been forced to drive me back and forth from my dads which has been like every other day over winter break which my dad said wasn't his concern. I haven't been able to hang out with any friends...I don't hang out much but of course when I can't is the only time people actually ask me.
I feel like its been long enough for me to "think about what I did" but my dad said it hasn't been long enough- he said he was originally thinking that he would let me have my car at my birthday-in May! He says it hasn't been inconvenient enough for me- school, between parents houses, and spending time with friends isn't enough? That's pretty much inconvenient in every way for me. School is going to start Wednesday and he said I can't drive. every time I speak about it I just get so angry but I have to keep it in. I don't know what to do to drive the soonest. I can't act like its nothing and just go on try to be happy, it makes me too mad. I don't want to just lose it and not care anymore because it won't help me drive any sooner. The hardest part is that I know that it doesn't matter to my dad if I drive. He doesn't care if I want to hang out with friends, or drive to school, from practice, or between parents houses. Please help me I know what I've done was wrong but it's going too far and I can't regain trust if I'm not given chances to is this even the right section/website to post?
