I was never grounded. By the time I was a teenager, I had a pretty good mind for logic and reasoning, so I never did anything that my parents would ground me for. If I did something bad, they would usually take away some rights like video games or withhold my allowances for a time. Good enough reason to not do stupid crap right?
I'm grounded for that? Really?

My parents never really called it being grounded but my Mum really had a go at me when I said it wouldnt be a big deal if I wore semi casual clothes for a meeting for a Work Experience Interview. It wasnt even an interview, it was a chat outside the shop with the owner who was smoking at the time.
Just to keep her happy and shut her up I went in my school uniform I was wearing earlier. We both got what we wanted, I didnt look like a right idiot by showing up overdressed and she was happy that I looked smart enough.
I still think she over reacted, I got let go after a day anyway because I dropped alot of plates and scared a small child with my colourful launguage, I was a liability.

my parents never did that. When is was a child and in early puberty I was really nice and shy, then i spend a year studying abroad during which i was a total asshole and when i came back i was very much grown up and my parents thought that i could take care of myself.

Admittedly she was holding it and archery was over, but I had just read Naked Lunch and the crossbow was only a 15lb pull hand crossbow; adults just don't understand.
OT: My own personal one was for cutting the string on my tennis racket trying to place the shock absorber,the thing is I don't remember doing it and to this day still don't think I did it.Same thing with my dad looking at Internet porn and pining it on me when my mom found it.
Though my friend's tops mine as he got grounded by his dad for not saluting(or something similar)the Greenbay Packers.His dad is an odd guy.
I never got grounded per se. I got stuff taken away, like the power cable to my computer. Anything I did wrong character wise, i got beaten for. only happened twice that I can remember (i was born with a tux, a stovepipe hat, a cane, and a pipe. A true gentleman.)
I've since traded my parents for a much stricter form of authority figure. And with them, getting grounded is no walk in the park. Getting grounded either means your sick, or you flipped your truck cause you were drunk. The first case, you stay at home till your better. The second case you goto jail.
My new authority figures dont fuck around with DUI's, lemme tell ya. And the jail they send you isnt a fun resort kinda prison. Its definitally a federal pound me in the ass prison, cause all the asshole marines who killed people for fun in iraq, or ran people over or lit people on fire are sent there as well. And they think everyone's mouth is real purty.

I never got grounded by my mother but my father that is a noter story. He could ground me for some really weird stuff, like for not give a fast enough respond, or trying to explain my side if the argument.
I didn't get grounded because I never went out all that much. I did get banned off the PC, or shouted at though. Mainly shouted at.
I remember once my mum shouting at me after thinking I was laughing at her when she was telling me off for something else. To this day I have zero idea why she thought I was laughing - I was kinda upset at the time.
She used to tell me off for being upset - and she wouldn't shut up until I stopped crying... yeah that was noottt good. Half the time I was upset because she'd been telling me what I did wrong... and I didn't want to be in trouble :/
One PC banning I got was for smashing up bodies on HL1 when I got stuck. I was bored, and I just decided to go round and pop all the bodies... no real reason why lol. Ban didn't really stick because I just used to play on the PC when she wasn't around.
I remember once having to pay some money to my brother for slightly bending a corner on his textbook. He lent it to me, and I didn't have any idea I accidentally bent the corner slightly, and it wasn't as if I ripped it or anything, just like 1cm of the corner was bent upwards slightly. Was a bit piffled I had to give him money for something that was probably just a minor mistake I don't even remember doing. Don't think he had the book long, which is why he kicked off lol. As far as secondhand value would have gone, I doubt a secondhand owner would've noticed it.
Ironically I now have the book, as he gave me his textbooks when he graduated from uni ¬¬.

I had ridiculous paranoia about breaking the rules as a kid, and my parents were fairly understanding.
As a result, I never got grounded.

Wow. Most people love to go out at the ago of 2. That must have been hard for you.Del-Toro said:

Got grounded for shouting at my brother, the bugger gets away with EVERYTHING, and I cannot retaliate!
I was angry after that.
I have actually been grounded a lot for this same reason, but I normally get out of it somehow.

I promise not to read too far into it if you tell me more of the story behind it.Estocavio said:
Please?
Me either, although to be fair, I wasn't exactly a "rebellious" child, I was just smart enough not to mention that when I said I was staying round a friends house, what I actually meant was that I was going out drinking.Neptunus Hirt said:
To be fair a friend of mine once asked me if I took heroin because I wore a trench coat.Woodsey said:How much weed had your Dad smoked to get that paranoid?
Never got grounded. I was partially a good kid, but also that kind of punishment isn't common in our family.
