YOU'RE GROUNDED!
So I've come back from being grounded. My parents took away my internet away for the remainder of my Exam week.
It pained me to be away from forums and the internet but Exams are an important matter.... Have you been Grounded? If You are grounded what is it usually for? Curfew? Bad Grades? Parents - How do they Ground you? How Bad Do they Ground you? What's Your Grounding Punishment? Not allowed out of the House or something taken away from you? How Long are you usually Grounded For? I personally don't get grounded that often but If it is It's usually my parents taking away my internet since I'm on it a lot XD |
Have you been Grounded?
Yes If You are grounded what is it usually for? Curfew? Bad Grades? More then likely, breaking/destroying something. Parents - How do they Ground you? How Bad Do they Ground you? They give me a huge lecture on what I did wrong and why I should have not done that and what I could have done to prevent such and such from happening. Blah blah blah. Isn't that kind of the same question as asking duration or what they took away from us? Any who it is usually not bad depending on your interpretation of "bad" What's Your Grounding Punishment? Not allowed out of the House or something taken away from you? Usually now allowed to do anything in my room i.e. use the computer, watch tv, play video games, and so on. How Long are you usually Grounded For? Usually I would say no long then a month. I don't think I can ever recall be grounded longer then a month. |
I have never, ever been grounded. My parents never saw a point to the punishment and I'm not stupid enough to get caught doing things I'm not meant to be doing.

It seems like a really stupid punishment anyway. "Oh your grounded, so you have to stay in your room with your TV, video games etc. rather than having a healthy social life." I don't know what genius thought up of that idea. |
I actually choose to stay away from my laptop when I have exams. O;
Which are currently going on, but meh.. I've never been grounded, no matter how big the crime. Not that I go around shooting people. :x |
When I was younger I was sometimes sent to sit on the stairs to think about what I've done but I think it happened twice, both which involved my brother (yeah, I'm kinda the goody two-shoes; not a good thing, trust me ;~;). But I've never been grounded. What Rekky and Vendak said pretty much sum up why I think.

Have you been Grounded?
yes... If You are grounded what is it usually for? Curfew? Bad Grades? for my Twin sister not doing her homework. very unjust Parents - How do they Ground you? How Bad Do they Ground you? they yell out the punishment =D What's Your Grounding Punishment? Not allowed out of the House or something taken away from you? not allow to be on a pc for two weeks. But that didn't really affect me at all....i just sneak some time in lol How Long are you usually Grounded For? 2 weeks =( |
Being grounded is a rather foreign concept in the country that my parents grew up in, so I never actually had to deal with it. I can recall wondering what it would be like to get grounded when I was younger, even thought it would be neat for that to happen once. XD; I don't really think it's a pointless form of punishment, but I think a lot of parents go about it the wrong way, it's not really a punishment if you make a kid stay in their room with all their gadgets.

Have you been Grounded?
Yup If You are grounded what is it usually for? Curfew? Bad Grades? I don't know what curfew is.. but I got grounded once for breaking the backdoor of our house by accident ;~; Parents - How do they Ground you? How Bad Do they Ground you? Not very bad. What's Your Grounding Punishment? Not allowed out of the House or something taken away from you? Parents - How do they Ground you? How Bad Do they Ground you? They keep me in my room for a week or they reduce my pocket money. How Long are you usually Grounded For? A week maximum. |
In the past I've only done a few things that really deserved a good grounding, but my parents never found out so the groundings never happened. Besides those few incidents they don't know about I never do anything considered terribly bad. I have a great relationship with my parents so I've never really had the need to go against them or do anything exceptionally foolish. I'm a pretty well mannered child if I do say so myself. :D

Have you been Grounded?
Yeah, who hasn't? If You are grounded what is it usually for? Curfew? Bad Grades? Making too much noise ._. Parents - How do they Ground you? How Bad Do they Ground you?

No video games and computers >.> How Long are you usually Grounded For? A day or two. |
Have you been Grounded?
Of course I have! I think that everyone got grounded at some point... If You are grounded what is it usually for? Curfew? Bad Grades? So far it was for bad grades... Don't really want to give them any more reason to ground me... :) Parents - How do they Ground you? How Bad Do they Ground you? It's usually a no-fun kind of punishment. Basically it's either no going out, no Computer, no cell phone, etc. What's Your Grounding Punishment? Not allowed out of the House or something taken away from you? So far it was mostly no computer... How Long are you usually Grounded For? It depends, but, I'd say about 2 weeks... I always get my grades up pretty fast, so I don't stay grounded for too long... :D |

No they're not going to get unhealthy, but if they're not allowed to spend time with friends for a matter of months it can be potentially damaging to that friendship. |

I've never been grounded, and I'm too old for it now. I think it's a stupid punishment though. A kid needs to play, they can't function if all they do all day is work. (Or, at least that's how it is with me.)

what entails months of grounding? i'm not saying there isn't anything but you usually get "sentenced" to a week or two rather than a month for minor things, so if what you're doing is bad enough to deserve a lengthy punishment it's your fault for doing it in the first place. consider it another part of your punishment. though i don't think your example happens very often, or at least it's never happened to anybody i know who's gotten grounded for that long. you still get to go to school and if they're a friend you've met outside of school why do you deserve to see them when you've done something bad enough to warrant months of grounding? not that i believe being grounded would really destroy relationships in the first place. you could say the parents are over reacting in giving them a long grounding over something minor but you shouldn't then say grounding is an unfair punishment, because that's the fault of the parent. if i was wasted off my ass and couldn't open my car door with a car key does that mean car keys are ineffective? |
Never been grounded. I'm just a kiss-ass :D
Not really, I've been rebellious, but never so much to land me with a grounding. |

I don't get grounded because I'm good boy :3

When I was still young enough to be grounded I never did. I got threatened a few times but that was it. But I never did anything that would get me into huge trouble anyway. Well, I never got caught... lol jk. Sort of >_> The only thing that ever got me in trouble with my parents was my inability to not ~back talk~ them.
