My mother tried to ground me a lot. This typically resulted in me disappearing for a few days at a time (with all the stuff I needed to still make it to school, and I'd find my way there and do my work). My dad, on the other hand, was very difficult to make angry, but once I did, he and I were taking swings at each other. I'm convinced his way was better. I can sneak out pretty easily, I can find where you hid my games really easily, and most of the time, you'll never know I did it. It's harder to dodge a punch (or overpower a guy you're giving 100 lbs to in a grapple) and if you do, he'll know, and come back with another one.
I'm grounded for that? Really?

I was never "grounded" but I got a lot of my crap taken away from me as punishment. On one occasion it was because I was watching Yu-Gi-Oh because "that show is too violent and evil for a nine year old." Fuck you man.
I never got grounded. That's an american pop culture thing.
I got explained what I did wrong, and why it was wrong, so that I could do better in the future instead of holding on to my anger about unjust punishment.
Must have really messed me up.

I got grounded on multiple occasions, but I deserved it for slacking at school (I mean REALLY. I never did my homework from junior high to now on. I managed to get to the University though, so I guess It wasn't all that important 
).
I have a friend though, who gets grounded for every little nitpick. So far the most bizarre thing was, when he couldn't find his socks once. He got grounded for two weeks, and his grandma took away his guitar so he couldn't play it. Seriously, what the fuck?

My mom doesn't believe in groundingWhoaItsBrett said:
she believes in taking away or selling my possessions while I'm gone (depending on how bad I messed up)
I'll do something bad she won't care then when I come home my PS1 or my TV will be missing
(I was young and poor at the time... now I'm just 18 and poor
)
never really got grounded, so school examples, thats right examples cos my school was fuck stupid.
Sent out of class for saying "i know what a riff is" in music when my teacher was trying to explain something to me one to one.
1 week of detention for giving the reason i wasn't in one day as a ibs flare up, apparently you cant have it when your young, fucking genetic faults how do they work.
the one that takes the biscuit after my spanish teacher had just shut the fuck up (she had this thing where shed bs on for 40 mins then moan about not having done any work) i sneezed and she went fuck nuts went to give me detention and threw the assignment i had given her at the beginning of class in the bin.
so glad i'm in college fucking school sucked major ass

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.

My parents are pretty relaxed about things. Bad grades are the only thing that they would "ground" me for, and I haven't been grounded since I was 12. When they do need to punish, they've figured out that a good scolding works wonders.
Or I just have some common sense and don't get in trouble very often.

This thread makes me sad and reminds me why people don't deserve to be parents just because they put a penis in a vagina. Luckily, I have great parents, so sometimes I forget how terrible some are.
Do't get worked up at them for grounding you on stupid things like that, just laugh it off an eventually they will realise how paranoid they were being. Getting worked up about it will just make them think you are a deviant youngster. On a side note your parents sound really stupid, no offence.WhoaItsBrett said:
Haven't been grounded like that, though a teacher at my school threw me out of the music classroom because a girl was hitting me with a xylophone stick for laughs.
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.

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."
