Page 3 – Being grounded as a kid is funny… now

It’s fairly typical that you’ve gotten in trouble with your parents and then had to deal with the consequences.

However, those groundings stick with you.

“My mom would send me to my room if I didn’t do the dishes or whatever kind of chore,” freshman Averie Tullis said.
Going to your room, no phone, or stuck at home those are some of the common punishments for every kid. Although some kids get into situations that require a special kind of punishment.

“Once when I was 4 I got my toilet seat taken away because I got it stuck on my head,” sophomore Brooklyn Knox said.

Most believe actions have consequences, however are those punishments really that necessary?

Knox remembers that specific punishment because it’s one that not many kids will seem to relate with. That’s on the far side of the grounding spectrum though as for other people their story might not be the same.

“Believe it or not as a kid I was hardly punished, the worst may be having to go in my room and cool off for 10 minutes,” teacher Jeff Frazee said.
