Never been grounded. I'm an angel! O
I think grounding can work with some kids, but it depends on each child. When I was younger I was spanked when I did something wrong, and that seemed to work well. That's sometimes the only way to get your point across to a young child who doesn't understand much. As long as you don't go overboard with the spanking... THEN it could be considered abuse.

When Im bad I get sent off into my room to calm down. i just lie on my bed and listen to my ipod. Then my dad comes in after ten minutes and is like, what the hell are u doing. He never notices me with it. THANK GOD! I SAY to him "Mind knocking?" and he's like its my house so get a life! I somtimes start off again. not usual though. and when i do im cooped up in my room with no pudding. ONCE when i was little, i was sent off for calling my sister a *censored.4.0*. Then they had chocolate pud with CREAM, custard ect. i wouldn't have swore at her if she werent a *censored.4.0*.
Get a nice sack of Florida oranges. They won't leave a mark and they'll show your kids who's the boss.
Honestly grounding in certain cases does work, it isn't so much about the punishment as it is an offering of a second chance to regain trust. If you are grounded you did something wrong in your parents eyes, and they just want to see some restraint on your part. It is one of those punishments that doesn't work if the kid doesn't let it though.

Not really.
My parents never grounded me.

I'm going to tie my child to a bedpost and take their clothes off, with their hands tied behind them. I will then proceed to lighting a fire stoker over a fire to a sizzling 300 degrees, and then I will beat my child and slide the hot bar across their exposed weak flesh, incinerating it on contact. I will then flail them with a wooden club and tell them to clean their room next time, or daddy'd break out the acid.
Yeah. Because physical abuse works.

Depends on what you did. I don't think abuse is the answer, but some type of punishment would do

I never was grounded though.

Yes, if you don't they'll just continue to do bad things. if you ground them, they realize if they continue doing bad things they'll be grounded over and over again.
How do I know this? Well, it worked on me when my mom grounded me.

I learn from mine but then i get angry i go out of control. lesterday i got sent off to my room for running around in the landing. it has loads of models there. i left muddy foot prints so my mom told me to clean it up as me caught me and i said no. she said yes. i said fine and went to watch tv. then she said, have u done it? i say yes. she goes to check and its flithy. i say, i am not doing that crap and then she grabs my hand tight and puts a sponge in it. i kick her. She tells me not be so rude to anyone or else. i am like or else what? she says that she'll ban me from tv. i was already banned from my computer. i say ah no. my dad goes upstairs and takes my computer mouse from my room. mom held me tight.
in the end, i was sent to my room for twenty minutes and then had to come down and clean it. now im not aloud to use the computer, phone, tv. before u ask, im using my mates computer.

I believe that grounding can be a good punishment, depending on what the child has done. I mean, grounding a child because they refuse to eat their dinner isn't a good enough punishment, I would in that situation tell the child that they wouldn't be getting anything else at all that week... basically tell them that you won't feed them again. Just my idea, I don't normally like punishing people, e.g when my dog chewed up my trainers I couldn't bring myself to even shout at him.
