Detentions are given in some schools (not all) for bad behaviour. It usually involves either one person or a whole class staying in during recess, or after school, to do some extra prescribed work.

Grounding is what some parents do to try and help their teenagers behave more responsibly - it's to do with taking away privileges. I don't think there are any rules - each family decides what works for them. Some might not allow their teenagers out of the house, other than for school, for a set period of time. They probably also wouldn't allow friends around either.

Others might 'ground' their teenagers from the television, or computer games, or whatever else it is that's taking up too much time or causing their bad behaviour.

I don't personally agree with grounding - I prefer family discussions and reasoning, and letting teens set their own limits on the whole (I have two adult sons and it never occurred to me to ground either of them). But for some it seems to work well.

Dentention i think it is a ridiculous thing. A student sits in a room for an hour or less and then leaves. A student can just get trouble again and doesn't do anything help the child.
But, grounding someone is another story. When you are grounding it taking the previges away from a child. Like, not letting them go to a friends house, no iPod, no TV, no computer, no videogames or anything they like to do.
You, or the parent do these things because it teaches them that what they did is wrong and it you do it again, you don't get things you don't deserve.
There are no rules for grounding, you make them up to punish your child. Before you ground your child, Tell them what they did is wrong and they shouldn't do it again.

Detention is a punishment that schools administer, often it consists of sitting in a seperate classroom or other area with desks or tables, and doing classwork assigned by your teachers. Usually, there is no talking, or getting out of your seat allowed. Bathroom breaks are usually restricted to only certain times. Lunches are at a seperate table from the rest of the kids, and also in silence.

Grounding, is a punishment done by parents.
It can consist of several things depending on the offence or age of the child. It can range from simply not being allowed to play with friends, or no phone. To no electronics at all, or even being grounded to your room and not allowed out except for using the bathroom and meals.
It can range from only two-three days, to a couple of weeks if it was a serious offence.

Detention: SCHOOLS do this: make you stay after school for a certain period of time for misbehavior. (punishment)
Grounded - PARENTS to this. (for whatever reason) usually because you messed up. Attitude, grade, behavior issues. RULES of grounding...ask your parents for this one. ALL parents are different.
Personal rules for grounding in our home: NOTHING moves or shakes until grounding is over.

detention was made to get kids to understand that they are misbehaving,and the most important thing about grounding is that u need to stick with it, if u say they cant use something or do something for a certain time period than don't give in until the time has passed.

It depends on how old your kid is, and what they did.

I am 13, and when I get bad grades my mom just takes away ALL of my electronics. That works, believe me. I can't live without those.

If I'm being smart to her, she puts dish soap in my mouth and makes me sit there with it for a few minutes.

For my house it's:
.No TV
.No Computer
.No iPod
.No friends
.No music
.You come home directly from school and go to your room, do homework and then you stay in your room until dinner, then you go to bed after dinner
.No sleepovers
.No phone(for my 12 year old, her cellphone is taken away)
.No shopping
.No going out
.No fun on the weekends

It's basically anything they like to do: they can't do it.
