I got in a fight at school today and got detention for tomorrow. My mom and dad want to punish me too. Do you think it's fair?

I know juggling "school society", can be very difficult.. But fighting is simply never a good idea. I understand it could be in self defense, defense of someone else.. But fights can escalate (especially at ur age) into serious violence and injury. Your parents are worried for ur physical safety, as well as (I am sure) setting a standard for u to learn "other" ways to navigate tense social predicaments.. Therefore the punishment.. I think u should except their punishment and have an honest sit down with them regarding the incident. Telling them what caused it, ask them how they would handle it (at your age)?.. And be honest about their suggestions why they could or could not work in ur "school world".. U might be surprised and pick up some tips.. and they may go a little easier on u if they sense ur sincerity. Good luck.
