What type of punishment did your parents use when you were a teenager?

i didn't live with my parents as a teen. i moved out at age 13. so i guess my punishment was being kicked out. before that i was grounded a lot, given time outs and hit by their hands and objects. usually hit by wooden spoons from the kitchen.

Hello,mamasan,my parents have never punished me when i was a teenager,even when i had done something naughty,they would just tell me not to do it again,they thought that smacking did not work on teenagers but would only hurt them,but i had developed self discipline when times go by.

my parents discipline us (siblings) by spanking us on our butt when were in trouble or do something stupid that might hurt one of us siblings, also when were on our teens they discipline us by grounding us in using phone or going out with friends for a week! well all the discipline and hardwork my parents did makes us a good person now :)

I don't recall being punished much as a teenager. I think the only time I was punished was when I snuck out of the house. I was restickted for two weeks. Not bad huh.

My parents often used the restriction method when we were teenagers. If you didn't follow my dads rules and you were caught he restricted you to staying on the property. If you broke the rules while on that restriction he made you remain in the house. Next step was to take away everything. My dad passed away before I became a teenager so I didn't have that kind of punishment. I wish I had.

When I was a teenager I use to get beat alot but then again not as most as other people my mom was very sweet to us and everyone else use to say we were spoiled but I never thought so but whatever

I didn't live with my parents or anyone as a teenager. I ran away from home at 13 due to physical abuse by my father. I couldn't take it anymore and noone else in my family could stop it so off I went to the carnival for many years. These events happened in the early 60's. It was always hard to prove physical abuse at that time and it usually was overlooked as "disciplinijng an unruly child". Now I recall almost losing an arm for stealing some pocket change from dad. He had a razor strap that barbers use to sharpen their blades. He beat me so hard acroass my arm gangreane set in but luckily it was caught in time. I've lost a lot of feeling in it due to severe nerve damage. He caught me and my older brother playing with wet towels snapping them far away from each other but enough to toss a load of water on each other. He beat us both with the wet towels leaving huge welts on us. So I wasn't treated very nicely as a child. Thanks for this opportunity to relate this also. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I really didn't require much punishment as I was such a model child. *large sheepish grin* Mostly my parents would remove privileges or 'ground' me. For instance, they would disallow phone calls for a week or they would say 'no TV for a week' or something like that. Grounding meant that I could not go anywhere except to school or work or church. No outings with friends, no phone calls from friends etc. Grounding was in week blocks.

I too was spanked by my father when I did something mischievous.My worst punishment was that my playing hours was banned.After returning from school ,I tossed my bag and went to play football straightaway.I couldn't focus on my studies if I didn't sweat it out on the field and the worst punishment for me was to stay at home during those hours when my friends were playing.I couldn't concentrate on anything and was so close to banging my head on the wall ,lol.Well,most of the times my parents would realise that the punishment didn't help much as I was like a trapped bird trying to break free.So, they would lift the ban with a warning not to repeat my misconduct,lol.

Spanking is not common here . In our childhood, we were beaten up with canes( usually thick bamboo sticks) for our pranks. But I have never beaten up my two children while they grew up. I spared the rod but I am quite sure that I didn't spoil them. ( Ref : proverb -" Spare the rod and spoil the child ")

I experienced once in my whole life the spank of my father to me when I was a maybe 8yrs. old then. That was the first and last punishment I ever recieved and the rest only talking to me seriously and warned me if I do it again but maybe I was nice that time and of course afraid to commit again another mistake thats why I'm really carefull of doing something wrong.

When I was a teen ager they used to ground me and I can't go ou alone without my mom coz I don't have any brothers or sisters I always be with my mom to go out. Only once in my life my father spank me at my buttocks it was because for me also for not doing it again.

My parents disciplined me and my 2 sisters by spanking us only if it was the last resort. Otherwise we mostly were punished by being sent to our room for awhile, we couldnt play with any toys or watch tv while we were punished which made us always try to listen to them because for a kid to be in there room with all there favorite toys and not play with them is REALLY TEMPTING FOR A KID...so I think it worked.

Spanked, scolding is normal for me when I am a teenager. Thereafter, my parent punished by asking me to recite chinese 300 Tangs Poem and some other article they can find. That's is tough though but good for me.

Well I always got the Blame for everything even if it was my Brother and my Mum used to use the Carpet Beater on me I will never forgot the day she hit me black and blue when my Brother broke one of her Ornaments and blamed me She would not send me to my Room as I used to love sitting in my room reading lol

My mom was bit harsh when I was a kid when she gives us punishment. She would really spank us when we failed to do our assignments and failed to study. We were also not allowed to watch any TV at all during weekdays.All we need to do is study and be good at school. We'll it may seem a bit harsh but the results were great. All of my siblings and me graduated and now have a good profession. The punishment does lessen as we grow older because she already saw in us that we are responsible in our studies, thus no need for puishment just to push us to study.

Those were the days when my mother would beat us (me and my younger brother ) black and blue with a thick stick. She had the bent of mind that she would not spare the rod and spoil the child. Our pranks were never forgiven.

Well, this is no laughing matter, but my mother was pretty abusive all my childhood, so when I became a teenager, I couldn't take it anymore. One day I came home from 7th grade with mascara on. She back handed me in the hallway, screaming "What is that SH** on your face???" She kicked me and hit me and pushed me all the way down the hall and into the bathroom, where I got into the shower and pulled the glass door shut. The next day, I ran away. The cops found me, took me home. She beat me. I ran away, the cops found me, took me home. She beat me. I ran away again, I came home in the middle of the night on my own, she woke me up at 5AM and started beating me with a belt...then shoved me out the front door where the police were parked, they took me to Juvinile Hall. I spent a couple nights there, went to a hearing and they sent me home. I did NOT want to go home. I'd been abused long enough! We got home, she beat me. I ran away. I was gone for a few weeks and then she found out where I was, the cops came, arrested me, took me to Juvie, we went to a hearing, the judge told me I could go home. I told him I didn't want to go home. My mom was sitting in the chair next to me. She cried. Funny. They asked what I wanted them to do with me. I asked to be placed in a foster home. They said they'd discuss it, I got to stay in Juvie for a few more weeks and then they found me a wonderful foster home. I was there 4 months. Long long story, but here I am 50 years old and me and mom are still trying to get along. It was a tough life. Nowadays, she'd be in jail. Back then, child abuse had to be so severe for a parent to be arrested.

i found that in my memory,my parents never spanked me.i was a naughty girl that time,and my teacher at primary school always angry at me,and they threatened that they wanted to see my parents.but this was the last one i scared about.because my parents would think that it was normal a kid being naughty,and coz they never spanked me,so i didn't scare.now,i grow up,and when i take a look at my life when i was a child,i always laugh at myself,why am i so different from the kid before?lol.

I was never really punished when I was a child and even until now that I am turning 20. Some say I am spoiled but I don't think I am. My parents, especially my dad, just doesn't believe that hurting your child will do any good more than harm. My younger brother though was spanked quite a lot of times when we were kids by mom. Anyway, the most that I could call a punsihment was when I had a chaperone when i go out. That's it. When I do something that is wrong and makes my parents upset and furious, they just talk to me about it like an adult and we explain each others' side. That's how they discipline me until now.
