OP's kid,
If your parent shows you this thread to prove that they aren't the only one to ground their kids, I wanted to write a message to you.  You are clearly in a bit of a power struggle with your parents.  It's pretty easy and common to do that as a teenager.

Forget about the punishments your parents will or will not give you, and instead think about what you want.  You aren't an idiot, you know vaping is bad for you.  You know that skipping school is bad for you.  Why are you doing it?

Probably because school is boring, or you like the thrill.  And I don't mean that dismissively, school can be boring and everyone knows the thrill of breaking the rules every once in a while.   While these things will upset your parents, ultimately you are the one who will have to live with the long term consequences.   Teen years are when you shape the sort of adult you want to be...do you really want to be the sort of adult who skips out on responsibilities and vapes?  Deep down you probably don't.

The most adult thing you can do is to stop worrying about or arguing about your parent's phone grounding and instead focus on what you need to change to be the sort of adult you want to be. Best of luck to you.
