How many of you would punish ur 15 year old son with the belt and 2 weeks grounding and banning from computer and tv for this?

I used to do that and I was so good other kids would have me do it too. Never got caught though. I would have to say your punishment would be right on other than the belt.

It's dishonesty and cheating - neither of which is a good trait to have as a person. Integrity is something that will get you ahead in life because you will always know you did the right thing. Doing the right thing even though no-one is watching or will know is what separates people with true integrity and those with none.
If you don't like your grades - try harder, and if that doesn't work, ask for help. Changing your grades won't ever help you learn or understand something better.
My answer to your question about punishment would be that I would explain exactly what I just did to that person. I cannot make a person learn or want to do well. In the long run, they will only help or hurt themselves when they get out on their own.
Good luck in your decisions in the future.

Non-sense. Such punishment for a 15 year is going to cause big problem. it is time for him to get an identity. He is emotionally stressed because of age. Cannot tolerate rebuke. In order to protect his ego, these mistakes are committed. The parents want more than what he can give. Hence the problem. Leave him to his abilities. convince him through counseling that what he did was wrong. That will do better. Show that you knew what he did and why he did . Tell him it does not matter for you but will tell upon his personality in future. Leave it there and see the magic with which it works.

wow, sounds like it truly is coming from a sore 15 12 months previous son. at the start, replacing a grade is mendacity. you're trying to provide your self credit for something you didnt earn. im guessing you replaced an F to a B or something. thats a huge deal. failing is a great deal. in case you replaced like a B to a B+, that punishments a touch harsh. yet look on the shiny area, you are able to artwork on bringing that grade up at the same time as you cant do something exciting...

Well I wouldn't call it lying. I would make sure he had time to apply himself to school work till the next report card came out. No sports, no TV, no computer

I don't know as I would see it as lying, but it would definately send up a red flag that something wasn't right. Could be lying, could be lack of concentration due to another issue (new girlfriend, drugs, etc...) I think I would absolutely have a talk with them. Good luck.
