I'm grounded for that? Really?

[EHKOS]

The list is waaaaaaaay too long.

When I did, which wasn't often, I totally deserved it.

On the other hand, I once got detention for being caught in a mad rush for the door at the end of lesson, which I apparently started (somehow). Go figure.

Honestly, the dumbest thing I was ever grounded for? My mom thought she smelled pot in my room and I was grounded for not sharing.




I'll just let that one sit for a while. Strangely enough for me, I still don't do drugs. I was lucky (and smart) enough to see what they did to my parents and avoid them.

I was willing to try pot, but then I smelled it for the first time and all interest evaporated right then and there.

OT: I've never been grounded.

uhm, dunno? i've had alot of stupid punishments for shit i still don't understand as an adult, and there's too many grounding's for me to remember them all XD as a problem child, getting in shit was really just "well that didn't work, next plan."

I was grounded for getting a low mark on a test I had. My mark was only 68% and I was grounded for that, (basically no video games for the weekend). But still, I hate that it was expected of me to always have really high marks. Kids in my grade would get new toys or games for doing well of their tests and maybe a "try harder next time" if they failed. Whereas I had to keep my marks really high and was punished for being below average.

I've never been grounded in my life, my parents treated my like a human being and as a result I never did anything worth being grounded for anyway.

The only thing I can think of that's close to being relevant to this topic would be that I spent most of my school life in detention because the teachers were too lazy to single out which students were actually misbehaving and just kept the entire class behind.

Something about how they wouldn't do it anymore after their friends got angry at them for making them have to stay late. Their friends thought it was hilarious and it just gave them all more of an excuse to do it again in the next class. Rinse and repeat basically every day for 7 years.

That's why I hated high school and found a way out of it early. If the teacher's presence alone doesn't command respect, being an asshole won't help anything. New teachers were the worst. I was always happy when I had some veteran of the system who knew how to control the animals.

i was actually a well behaved child the only time i would ever get grounded is when another kid would make fun of me (i was the short fat kid) and i would hit them but that was only in front of the other kids parents when we would get home my parents would tell me i wasnt in trouble

lol

 

[kebab4you]

grounded, uhh ye I remember that.
Sorry got nothing for you, never got grounded/time out or anything like that. Got scolded once or twice but nothing more then that.

 

[C95J]

I am never grounded, my parents are awesome

But I never do anything so bad that would get me grounded in the first place...

I've only been grounded once. My parents realised how futile it was after I got up at 5 AM, climbed over the fence, got on a tram and went out before they realised I'd gone.

I don't really remember what it was for. I think my parents attempted to punish me into having a life when I was 10. It worked, because I did go out, but it did seem pretty stupid and redundant. Nowadays they tell me not to go out so much. Funny how things have changed.

Right? Like 3-4 years ago my parents gave me this crap about how I should go out and do stuff, but now they're always pissed because I'm "almost never home"

Never got grounded, my parents and grandparents firmly believed in spanking. Paddling was still allowed in schools when I was young. I got my fair share of those when I was a kid and I turned out ok. It really seems these days parents are afraid to discipline their kids. I'm not saying they need to be beaten, but they certainly need to be taught that actions have consequences.

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

I was never grounded. I never did anything to warrant getting grounded

 

[SNIPERFOX ft. Harry P.Ness]

My parents didnt believe in grounding. But then, I was a well behaved child. Again, I put that down to being brought up well

/smug.

*shame* same here...

 

[DaJoW]

Never got grounded, never known anyone to get grounded. Only learned about it from TV.

 

[Danny Ocean]

I never got "grounded" as a child.

I guess there's not much culture for grounding where I live.

Same. It seems like more of a US thing. I was put in timeout a few times, but not for anything I can remember, so the reasons were probably fine.

 

[GWarface]

I was never grounded...

Grounding kids is a joke... Punishment by isolation is not a good way to raise a child...

Thats just stupid, i mean like, this makes you want to do drugs just to tick your father off, but you shouldn´t, drugs are bad, mkay?
