Well my mom is kinda strict so I tend to get grounded a lot. Like if she tells me to do something more than twice or if she feels I'm not respecting her enough, I get grounded. That means no phone, friends, TV, internet for usually that day, and the day after.
Well a week ago, I got grounded for forgetting to mail something my mom told me to mail. She told me to just go up and take a shower. I took a nice,long, warm one. When I came out, my clothes were replaced with my school uniform (skirt, polo, dress socks). I went to find other clothes to change into, but they were gone.
She said this was a new type of punishment. I had to wear my uniform (keep in mind this is summer) for 3 days when I get grounded. She even safety pins my shirt so it won't come untucked and I have to have 2 of the 3 buttons done on my polo. I can't use the phone, computer, or TV. But friends were allowed to come over and I could go to their houses (but why).
Is this worse than being grounded?

In addition, when I'm forced to wear my uniform, my mom has me run errands in town where I have to go outside in my uniform. It's so embarrassing!

Yeah, it probably is worse than being grounded, and that's probably the point. You don't mention how old you are, but you are obviously old enough to do simple things like mail a letter for your mom when she asks you. She probably thinks she can embarrass you into being more responsible. My suggestion to you is if you find that you can't remember things, you start learning to write them down and organize. And if you show your mom some respect, she may learn to respect you as well.

You are quilty of not listening (like all your friends) and your Mom has found a way to help you be more aware of everything else around you.
At 15 yrs old, I grounded my daughter from her room till 8 pm everyday for 2 weeks because we were not relating to each other which was causing a big problem.
It's hard for teens to see their parent as someone who has 'Been there, Done that', but we have and we are trying different ways that didn't work on us when we were teens.
PS Remember this, you will be a Mom someday, too!

wow... and that i theory my mom become strict! in my view, what your mom is doing is somewhat over the superb. What teenager does what they're meant to do while they're instructed to? Has your mom continuously had strict policies for you? because of the fact if no longer, your mom ought to purely be doing this because of the fact she realizes which you're turning out to be up, and he or she has much less administration over you and what you do. Making you place on your uniform for punishment must be her way of preserving you decrease than her administration. in the journey that your dad lives with you, try speaking to him approximately it to verify if he can talk your mom right into a miles less-embarassing punishment. in the journey that your dont stay at the same time with your dad, try speaking to an aunt or an in depth relatives chum.

You aren't listening to your Mom....now she may be picking and choosing battles that I wouldn't necessarily pick, but if she asks you to do something and you forget, and you do this a lot, and she's getting fed up with you not listening, and the punishments she's been giving haven't yielded any results, meaning you still don't listen, then yes, she is just getting creative and trying to find a way to get your attention. Start listening to your mother.

Well gee guess what. If you LISTENED to your mother and obeyed the rules she has you WOULDN'T BE punished like that. Because when you get a job in the real world, you'll have a boss telling you what to do, and if you don't listen to him, or you disrespect him, he will FIRE YOU. Which is a LOT worse than being grounded, let me assure you.
Your mother is trying to teach you a lesson you will need in life. LISTEN to her. DO what she asks. Period.

Good for your mom...she's being creative with punishments because you're "grounded a lot" and apparently that hasn't worked, so she's come up with other ways of dealing.

Well, your mom is downright mean. You can do something about it like rebel or runaway. Calling the cops or social services if you think she is punishing you to hard.
Just dont listen to her. I mean sersiously, try and push her away because she isn't doing this to, and I quote, "make you a better person."
Talk to her and ask her to stop because what she is doing is ridiculous and if you think its going to far, do something about it.
