I've had the same thing before Pets. Kids can't leave the house for any reason if they're grounded. I think I did just end up cancelling the moodlets.
I've gotten the same, at the time I had assumed it was a conflict of some sort but didn't consider it a big enough issue to devote the time to test. I just canceled the moodlets. Good to know it's not just me. Grounding was also a result of pranks.
witch:
I just had a popup message to say my teen sim had been caught doing something they shouldn't, while the sim was at school. Apparently "fighting with siblings, missing school and pulling pranks are just a few of the things that can get a sim in trouble with their parents." According to the 'lessons' anyway.
Oops, no, my sim skipped school.
Naiad:
Ok, so the scenario, in my pre-pets-patch game if as follows:
1. Teen tries to set booby trap or is out after curfew => Teen is scolded and forbidden to leave the house.
2. Teen must go to school, therefore sneaks out (at my order) to go. (S)he gets the 'sneaking out' or whatever it's called, moodlet, specifically for going outside while punished. (or so the description said.)
3. Teen returns home after going to school and is promptly grounded again for going outside the house while grounded. Timer resets to 48 hours.
The 'scold' interaction is autonomous, I have never actually told an adult to punish a teen, since I WANT them to set the blasted trap.
Obviously, I have the 1.24 patch final Awesome, since I refuse to bork my CC, and am not keen enough on Pets to jump through quite so many hoops for it. Perhaps I will install when I have the time to deal with the borkage it will trigger.

How peculiar. Got a save for this? I've never attempted to actually punish a sim for anything, because it would not really make any sense to punish a sim for following my orders, and if they're not following my orders, I consider that a bug to be hunted down and destroyed.
I didn't keep a save during that grounding, but if it's as ubiquitous as it seems to be, it should be pretty easy to recreate. Just get a teen grounded. I didn't explicitly attempt to have the parents punish the kid, they grounded him autonomously (I believe once was for pulling pranks at the school and once was for 'trashing the house' - having a party while parents were away on free vacation).
For the record, at the time I was using 1.26, all of the expansions up to and including Pets, no CC at all, and whatever the alpha version of awesomemod that works with Pets is.
Seacret:
I had this happen when my teen Sim was three minutes late for school. He was on his way to get in the car but the action was cancelled out by the mother coming over the ground the teen for being late for school. Teen then tried to go to school again but again the interaction was cancelled out by the mother putting the teen in a time out (time outs should NOT be enabled for teens, what parent actually does that?).
Teen tried sneaking out of time out to go to school and it was cancelled a third time by the mother revoking TV privileges. I'm not sure if the loop would have kept going because I got frustrated and closed the game without saving. I found the whole scenario absolutely ridiculous. This was before Pets btw, it was back in August when I first installed Generations. I figured it was just normal game behaviour (which it seems to be) but I suppose it would be nice if that shit got stomped.
