I wish to have a word with your parental unit! Parental units often malfuntion, and need to be fixed by someone with a common understanding of life. We'll miss you! :(

Yeah, Gamefreak, that is pretty harsh... A year for copying only two answers? (Which, in reality, isn't a really good thing to do in the first place.) :-\

I gotta say that is a little overboard. Maybe you could work something out?

This punishment is beyond my comprehension... I mean, I could understand getting a good talking to, or even a few days of being blocked from using the computer, but not a whole freakin' year!

We're gonna miss you. Big-time.

What's amazing is that this is at the beginning of the year. It's not like it was a huge test or anything.

I like to negotiate with my Dad in these cases.  He's strict, but he's willing to listen to reason.

During the few times I was ever grounded (I'm a REALLY good child), I would sneak on one night (two if it's an emergency) and see things. Let's just hope that Howl does that so she can see this.

Seriously, a year for two questions. Where do you live, Howl, Alabama, May 25, 1931? (The first one to tell me through PM what important event happened on that day gets twenty cookies) Get on at school, I remember there's a sight that's kinda like Google, but when you search using it you can go through any school blocking program since it counts as the search site. If only I could remember the name.  :'(

That's called a proxy, and I'm wililng to bet that Howl would get 2 years if she was caught with one.

Actually, mabye it would be twenty.  :'(

Anyways, I'm wondering, Howl, why did you cheat anyway? If you had either studied or chosen not to cheat and guess, things would have been okay (you would have gotten a bad grade for the latter, most likely, but you would still be here). Although this punishment is very harsh, you shouldn't have cheated anyway.

Wow. That punishment most definently does not fit the crime. Nonetheless, you shall be missed. Come back ASAP.

Maybe she'll be able to bargain with her parents to get a reduced sentence?

I was a defense attorney at Buckeye Boy's state.  I'll defend her in court.

Guys, I'm rebeling like the Howl you know, I didn't intend to cheat, it was only a glance, it was a spanish QUIZ, not even WORTH a detention. I've read your advice, and thanks, I feel safe with Gamefreak. :D
I'm bribing my parents with good grades lol.

It's still cheating, despite whatever subject it is. Now, if you were to take a Somalian or Aztec language class, then it's definetly not worth detention at all, as they aren't major languages in the world or in America, but Spanish is a major language (second only to English) (note, even if more speak Chinese than English, most of the common Chinese language usage is limited to a specific area, while others are spread over the entire world). It's still cheating. You deserve to be punished, but this goes over the top. Your parents deserve a year of grounding just for this (which for parents means they must work work work all day, and then do your work the rest of the day).

Yeah, that was sort of pointless whocares... Like they'd actually have a course on ancient american languages.

Anyway... VIVA LA REVOLUCION Comrade Howl!

My heart goes out to you... I mean, it is a little over the top, but I know how that is... >_> -has been grounded for two years-  Try and get on during the weekends... like, offer your parents a longer sentence, but with weekends allowed.

It will save your online life, trust me. Sure, it is a lot to check, but...
