I'm like partially grounded right now. I have time limits for my stuff. What makes me mad, is that I finally got tetris on my wii, and I can't play it. It's not gunna be fun when I get my wii back. And I get it back on thanksgiving break... -_-
It really just depends on the kids and the parents. Whether the kids are really stubborn or not and if the parents are strict or lenient. I have gotten my fair share of being spanked, and groundings, the spanking more so when I was younger and being grounded when I was older.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I guess if one good whallup is all it takes to straighten a kid out, then okay (as long as they don't become abusive.) But if a week without something can make the problem go away just the same, that should be okay too then. It really is only just the parents decision on how to punish their children.

No.
My dad wanted to take away my laptop, my computer, and my cell phone just because I didn't want to go to work with my mother. Which, may I add, I'm not even supposed to do. Because: 1) You must be 18 or older to work where she works, and 2) It's her job.
Let me also add that I am extremely stressed from school. I have to wake up everyday at 5, go to school, and then when I come back help my mother in her laborious job and then get home at like 9. Do my homework, and go to sleep. Like, seriously. Every *censored.3.0*ing day. Then one day when I have no school and I just want to stay home all day to de-stress, and refuse to go with my mother to her job, (which she had no problem with), I get yelled at and threatened to get my stuff taken away.
I mean. WHAT THE *censored.3.0*ING HELL. I'm like seriously a good daughter. My parents never have to complain about me. I get amazing grades, I *censored.3.0*ing work, and I don't do any usual teen bee ess.
So yeah.
I get threatened to be grounded for wanting a day to relax.
So the moral of this wall of text: *censored.3.0* my life.
Also. One day, dad. One day.

My parents never "grounded" me. I did have restrictions, but they NEVER lasted. I was the first, along with me twin brother, of 4 kids. Therefore, I believe we had it a little better than my younger siblings did, but we turned out just fine. Do I 'believe' in it? I do, meaning it's not a bad thing. I agree it WILL make the child angrier and more rebellious, but a parent must take the right actions and responsibilities, meaning they shouldn't loosen up on punishments, they should always stick with them. The child might have to learn the hard way, but everyone has their own morals, and ways of parenting, so I don't not believe in that form of parenting.
Like I always say in this issue, a good spanking like we (generalizing) when we were kids would put a lot of kids in line.Numner said:
Grounding is fine, I don't see anything wrong with it. It seems the only reason some people don't like it is because they'd rather have no boundaries, consequences, and restrictions to their life. A wrongful act should always be punished in some way or another. Whether it be guilt, or something on a more major scale.

yes, i mean how could you not believe it happens. it happens all the time.
it's really important to ground yourself when you work with electronics because your static electricity could short circuit what you are working on

Grounding? I don't think that really exists. I mean if someone's Mum/Dad/Carer grounds them they can easily go back on the PC (or whatever they were grounded on) and the mum will keep saying your grounded and yet they'll carry on. It's just words.
I think the old fashion was of smacking your child helps, None of this Grounding doesn't do any thing. Smacking may seem "cruel" but it'll help your children learn.
