Do You Think I Deserve To Be Punished And Treated Like A Common Criminal ?
56 Answers
2 weeks ago I got caught shoplifting, as I am only 16 the shopkeeper called my parents instead of the police.
my parents said they don't want to see me go to jail so are going to punish me severely, they said they were going to make my punishment as close to prison life as possible, they sentenced me to 3 weeks imprisonment, which is HALF the school holidays.
MY PRISON DAY,
I have to get up at 7am, then shower and get dressed i am not allowed to wear my own clothes i have to wear my school clothes, navy blue shirt and black skirt, i then return to my room and my bedroom door is locked, i have to eat all my meals in my room , i am NOT allowed tv, phone etc, i am allowed internet for 2 hours par day as a privilege for good behaviour, this privilege can be taken away at any time, each time i am set written work to do,
each day i have to write out 300 times STEALING IS ONE OF THE WORST THINGS YOU CAN DO
i also have to write a 6 page essay each day, today i have to write an essay on UNACCEPAPTABLE BEHAVOUIR AND PUNISHMENTS, i am confined to my room at ALL times i am only let out to use the bathroom, otherwise my bedroom door remains locked, lights out and bed 9pm.
i have served nearly 2 weeks of my punishment and i HATE it so much i have begged my parents to let me off the last week , but they refuse, i am SO SO MISREABLE i have lost my freedom and i want out,
DO YOU THINK I SHOULD BE LET OFF THE LAST WEEK OF PUNISHMENT ?

I would have made my child write a letter of apology and got to the bottom of why they had behaved in such a way to start with.Then they need to go and explain themselves to the shop keeper and ask if there is any way they can do anything further to apologise. I think locking a 16 year old up is a bit weird tbh and frankly I'm surprised she's abiding by it.
I was caught shoplifting once. Thankfully the market stall holder just told me to put the item back. I walked away mortified. The thought that my parents and grandparents could have been informed was more than enough to prevent me ever thinking about doing it again.
If they had been told, they'd would have been deeply disappointed, but I don't think they'd have locked me in my room for three weeks.

If you want forgiveness, start by showing how sorry you are. For example, a nice gesture would be to say you want to go round to the shopkeeper, apologise sincerely for all the trouble, and offer to do some task to make it up to them, like cleaning the shop window or washing the van. If you tell your parents you want to make amends, instead of being defensive, they're likely to be less strict. But you MUST then keep up your end of the bargain, or you will lose their trust again.
hi its bigbecky,
we are having a heatwave and its hot and sunny outside, I asked my parents if I could sit in the garden for a couple of hours, they said no as my punishment is loss of freedom so that means NO going out of any kind I have to stay in my room and my bedroom door stays LOCKED !,
what harm can there be in me sitting in the garden for a couple of hours?
this punishment STINKS
