This person wants to know how to win their parents' trust back.
Hello,
I'm sorry to hear about your stuff getting taken away again. I know it sucks, but ultimately you have to accept that this is a consequence of your actions. You knew what you were doing and what would happen if you were caught, and yet you made the conscious choice to do it anyways. I'm sure that's not what you wanted to hear, but you need to understand that it's the truth. You got yourself here, and now you have to deal with the repercussions.
As for making things right, the only advice I can offer you is to accept responsibility, and do your best to learn from your mistakes. Take this time to really think. Why did you choose to do the same thing twice despite knowing you would get in trouble? What can you learn from this? Think of your parents as well. They love you more than anything, and you really hurt them. You went behind their backs and broke their trust--trust which they had just given back to you. Imagine how they're feeling right now?
Here's the deal, hun. You messed up big time. There's no point in sugar coating it. You did something you knew would get you in trouble, and now you're stuck in the aftermath. It sucks, and it's hard, and it feels like the world is falling down around you, right? I get it. Really, I do. We all make mistakes, especially when we're young. It's those mistakes that teach us and help build us into better people. The road of life is not an easy one, but these mistakes will make you better for it. You just have to let them. Be willing to accept responsibility for your actions and the consequences that come as a result. Don't let yourself make the same mistakes in the future.

And yeah, for now, I bet your home life sucks. Eventually things will cool down between you and your parents. You just have to show them that you can be trusted again, and put in the effort to repair your relationship. I'd start by giving them, and yourself, some time to process your actions. Then, when things are a little more calm, sit them down and have a good heart to heart. Apologize for hurting them and breaking their trust. Just make sure you are sincere, and not just feeling sorry for yourself. Sincerity and self-pity are easily distinguishable, and the latter will only serve to make things worse. I hope this helps, hun.
Stay strong,

World War Academy [DROPPED]
EDIT: Hello, as you can tell this story is dropped. reason why this is the case is that I really didn't know where I was going to take this story and really, I wasn't satisfied with how I was writing here. However I am currently writing a completely new story and with it is that I am taking some aspects from here and using the ideas on my new story. New characters, new ideas, new plot, everything is completely new. So I hope that goes well and i'll leave this story up as reference for me in the future. Thank you Akani Kizuato. An 18 year old that recently started to live on his own to get away from life. With his sister and father dead from the wars as they fought in, he tried to continue life and tried not to let it get in his way. It may seem that way but with his whole life planned out, it may not seem to be. He had been rejected from all universities within the nation despite being top of his class, which is very unusual because even local colleges rejected him. It was as if he was banned to go to any of those places but uknowingly why. As he ranted, and relieved stress on the school rooftop, he had received an email from an anonymous source saying that he was accepted into some academy, which he had never heard of before. With events that lead up to his mysterious encounter with people who are there to take him, it may be quite a ride. Cover art made in Adobe Spark.

Body Modifier: Energy Required
Aria ate a fish. [Energy: 2] Finished, he ate another fish. [Energy: 2] ... [Energy: 3] Without realizing it, he had finished 5 fishes. He felt a little bloat, he lay down with a full stomach, occasionally burped. Even though he didn't want to be a big lump of meatball, he still had to keep eating. At least until he found another way to accumulate energy. After all, if he didn't take advantage of his advantages, wasn't that stupid? His mind then drifted imagining which one he would use the energy for. Should he use it on his eyes, so it shot a beam of laser, like a certain bespectacled mutant? Should he use it on his bones, so it regenerated infinitely, like a certain character from an anime? Should he use it on his brain, so he became a genius, like a scientist with a bald head? Or should he use it on his vital organ, so that he became the manliest person in the world? While he was imagining things, suddenly his ears felt pinched. "Ouch!" "Didn't mom already say you can't play with fire, you brat?!" There he realized, knowing that no matter what he chose, he was still a child in front of his mother.
