I quit school when I was 16 years old. School was for nerds. My mom said ok, but I had to go work in the field picking tomotoes.
I got up at 4:00am and went to work picking tomatoes, like the immigrants do.
I worked from 4:00am to 2:00pm in the scorching Arizona heat and only made $30.00. I didn't know this, but they don't pay you by the hour, they pay you by the bucket ($2.00 per 5 gallon bucket loads), well it takes about 30 minutes or more to fill a bucket.
I went home sore, sunburned and extremely tired. My mom made me do this for the entire month. After the end of the month, I begged her to let me go back to school.
Well, I learned an appreciation for hard physical labor. I now am in Law School and have a wonderful job with a great law firm. I learned my lesson.

Yes it was right . The problem with kids now is parents cant punish them in fear of going to jail . That is why there are more messed up kids now than when I was a kid . We did not have councilors , or pills we delt with what ever came our way . Almost 100 % of the time parents has a good reason for the punishment they hand out . Dont ever Forget parents LOVE you .

Not the worse punishment, but the stupidest reason to be punished. I left a towell on the bathroom floor and was grounded for 3 weeks!

They took my car away from me for letting my boyfriend drive it. Were they right yes but back then no. I was suppose to be grounded for 2 weeks but after a week my mother wanted me to run to the store for her. Well explaining to her that I couldn't because I had no keys to the car...I got them back. To let ya know she should have kept them.

well my dad was a black headed red faced cherokee indian who was raised country. i once had a guy friend who was into easy e and all the other things teens get interested in. me and a gal pal brought him to the house just before we were about to go out for the evening. i had to finish my hair or something before we left. my dad told me to take him home and come back home myself and park my car for the night. just because he didnt like my friend he grounded me for the night. that was so unfair. we were just gonna go get a bite to eat and catch a movie
