Hmmmm...well since parents can no longer use any sort of corporal punishment without the fear of being arrested...grounding is certainly a good option...
Maybe if kids don't want to be grounded, they should learn to follow the rules that are established by those that pay their way...
Not that I'm in favor of spanking, or whatever, in general...but some ppl only understand such stuff...
One of the good quotes from the Bible is "spare the rod, spoil the child"...Life is hard, it's a dog eat dog world out there, and sometimes the only people you can trust are your family...maybe you should be a good kid and follow the rules...and if you don't like em, then move out as soon as you can and make your own!...
Being a parent, I can say that raising a kid in this day and age in America rather sucks...Seems like all the teachers and counselors are looking to totally support the students (errr...most kids are liars, let's face it...) and perhaps are trying to take out their knowledge that they (the school system) suck out on the parents...School has always sucked, but from what I hear from my daughter, it's worse now than when I was a kid...as I noted, life sucks...
Please note, I am very aware that many kids are abused by their parents/caretakers, and that is not to be accepted, whether it be physical or mental abuse...
I'm not taking sides here sk8punk, just giving a different perspective...for all of you 'kids' out there, be aware that being a parent is a hefty responsibility, and I know that I for one do not like to be bothered by a whiney daughter who isn't happy that she don't rule the house...
LOL...I didn't realize Satan can sound so reasonable. B)
