there are people who are being punished everyday,i think. and i feel sorry for them in a way cause in someway of my life i've already experienced being punished for a certain reason. to site some factors,i'd like to share with you my experiences. when i was a child there were moments in my life that i've been punished by my parents. well, i was kinda bad when i was a kid. there were certain things that i do that my parents didn't like.well,as a punishment i have experienced being able to kneel down the monggo seeds. sometimes with wide arms open for about 10 minutes or less. i have a sister also who have been stayed out of the house also for certain minutes and sometimes being whipped by the belt.it really hurts a lot. as a student, i also have experienced writing "i will do my assignment from today" when i didn't have submitted my assignment that time.my teacher also fed my classmate with a paper or worse,a chalk.i don't think that's right! there were also teachers that used to embarrass students for a certain reason.sometimes simple things could also be mean for that teacher. oh,i've read some article saying student dies after being beaten by teacher. poor girl, she would have faced her life peacefully without that teacher.http://www.aol.in/news-story/girl-dies-after-being-beaten-by-teacher/721978 how about you fellow mylotters,have you ever been punished? in what way? please do share your experiences here... do you feel sorry for people who suffered punishments that were not right? i feel sorry and sad for them specially when it is just a basic fault.

Hello dear friend!! I am not in favor of punishment. As you wrote that you were punished at home or school and also your friends... its really unfair.. I agree they would have punished you for a certain reason. Parents never want to hurt their child but while they have no option..they have to take such action... I am not punished since I joined school in city...because I was among toppers but I have such bad incident which is affecting my life till now and really has made my life HELL.... let me elaborate.... When I was just 4 or 5 year old, I used to go to school at my village and really teachers used to beat students so I was so afraid that I used to hide behind the trees instead of going to class... One day I was coming from water tap after drinking water and one teacher slapped me hard which hurt me a lot... After that the fear of that female teacher set in my mind... and can you believe how that fear was... students used to make me afraid with here name later even... and I have got stammering problem due to fear of that teacher... She destroyed my life... I am trying hard for job.. I have good marks... every good record but I fails in interview as I stutter so why company will chose a guy who has stuttering problem while they can get other perfect ones. Really, I am helpless... I can't do anything about that teacher while she made my life like hell. I tried several courses to improve my speech but still no luck with that even... In village I was beaten by teacher very badly and I showed those stick marks to my grandparents then my grandfather went to school and took teacher strictly... Many such instances till age of 6 or 7 .. but after that from 2nd standard I studied in city and I am an engineer now... Abolish punishments! Have a nice time dear!! Take care!! Happy myLotting!

Hello friend!! I had not done anything wrong that she hit me. Nothing wrong at all.. Drinking water from tap is not a crime and I was simply coming to class after drinking water and as we saw teacher we started running towards class and she slapped me hard... I know this problem is stuttering is big one for me and only I have its solution.. practice and self confidence.. I am really lucky man that I have got true lover inspite of stuttering. People waste their whole life to find a right person but I found it at early stage and I want to get her as soon as possible.. She is my perfect one and I also want to be perfect for her so sometimes I try to improve my speech... Punishment of any form can create serious affects.. These can be positive or negative....mostly it makes negative sense... Have nice time friend... Thanks for considering me a good human being!! Take care!! Happy myLotting!!

yeah,its more of negative effects,my friend! but it's up to the child to recover from that situation. it really takes a lot of effort to adjust things with this kinds of past experiences. sometimes other people would also can't help themselves for suffering the punishments given to them.luckily,you have got the love of your life.and being one of the professionals,my friend! you have got the best of yourself! i salute you for that!

I have been punished many times when I was a young girl but not to the extent that they would let punish me by kneeling on monggo seeds with arms wide open. That's gonna hurt really bad. maybe I have been spanked by a belt or by hands a few times or more. Good thing only my mom did that to me because if it's my dad, it's goin to be more than spanking. I have seen him punsihed two of my younger sisters and i felt really bad for them. Your teacher did that to your classmate? That is really mean and way out of the line. She shouldn't have done that. She should be jailed or something because that is child abuse. However, I have read in a newspaper a long time ago, that there are really some teachers who do that. That is the parent's responsibility to discipline their children.

I agree with you subhbhat. They should discipline their children but not let them do anything that will hurt them or is against their will.

That is really sad. That teacher you're talking about is very bad. All throughout my grade school and high school days, I have never seen too much disciplining. I went to a Catholic School, so I think that stopped them from doing that. I don't think that parents or teachers or anyone should discipline their children too much by hittng them or making them kneel on rock salt, or monggo. It's just not right. I think disciplining is good if done in a good way.

I have been whiped with belt by my father before. He ordered me to do not get out of the house every afternoon and sleep or do my assignment but because i love playing outside I do my best to escape,but there are times I got caught and then be punished using his belt. That hurt so much even it was on the butt. At school I was punished but I was just mistakenly pointed to be the culprit why the vase of the flowers on the classroom table was broken. I remember I went to restroom to pee and when I got back the vase was broken, I was kindergarten that time. The teacher began to scream at me. My olders sister was there at the time to fetch me from school , she was shocked too. I don't know what to say because I did not do it. I just accepted her anger mouth and the dirty look of my classmate. I am not punished, but more on I was reprimanded hard. I hate it. Since then I hate my teacher and my classmate. Then came one day, one of my classmate told the truth to my teacher, he told that one of my classmate really did broke the vase when they were running around. That teacher talked to my mother to apologize, my mother got angry because she never screamed at me but this teacher did and she filed a complain on school admin. I don't remember what happened after. Another one was on our junior year in highschool.Instead of attending class we cutted class because we were researching an urgent project at CCP Library, the teacher found out that our whole class was there instead of attending class and we were punished when we got back. What they did was gave us some cartolina's and they wrote there "I will never ever cut class". they ordered us to hold it from morning till afternoon in the front of school canteen were some of the student where eating, going in and out. We felt ashamed.

i guess your father just did his job as a father. most fathers were like that,they used their belts to punish their children. i understand that behavior,but not all the time. your teacher is just not acting the right way.she would have learned first what really happened with the vase,and who really have to give punishments for that. yeah,i know it's really hard to admit your own fault so,no matter how hard it is to see your fellowmen,you just take it to save yourself. why are there people who likes to see someone suffer for their own fault,right? whatever it is,i'm happy that teacher had learned her lesson. what you have in your junior high school was really embarrassing. well,at least you are all a class,not just yourself.but it really still shameful experience. i'm happy i haven't experienced that. i just remembered when i'm in high school i was really mad at my friends who cuts our class just to go have some fun and swim near our place.they were forcing me to come,but i hesitated. i just don't agree why did our teacher that time didn't punish them. it's really unfair,right? i really appreciated your posts,my friend! even in my other discussions. nice to have you here! wish we could be great friends...

hi mapuang, i never experienced being grounded but it seems like i'm a prisoner in my own house. well,it's because i used to take care of my niece and of course also do household chores here. kinda boring sometimes,it makes me sick... and if there's an outing with friends,it's really hard to ask for my parent's approval. i don't think i deserve this sometimes. but this is my life! i've also thought of stowing away.but i don't know where to go and i don't like to rebel at my parents.

Sweetie, i got one good hiding from my mom as a child. After that never again. Punishment in the right way is fair. But, to punish someone who is innocent or to some extent that it is inhuman, is wrong. TATA.

you're right there,saphy! punishment should be done the right way not to cause one's life,right? well, i think all children have passed that stage,to get something that they didn't own. i remember my friend back then,she used to have this sick that she always get something she didn't own. we got separated for years then she told me she is over with that sickness.then and there, i trusted her but she did it again! i have treated her well enough as a friend and now she's stealing from me! i think that's not fair! so,from that time on,since i've given her a lot of chances,i gave up my friendship with her.i think she don't deserve to be my friend after all that we've been through...
