Do You Think Making A Teen Write Essays And Lines Is A Childish Punishment ?

[bigbecky]

as you all know this weekend and the further 2 weekends I am in punishment,i will be confined to my room and my bedroom door will be locked, I have been moaning to my parents about keeping my tv to relive the boredom, they have said NO entertainment allowed as I am being punished, now my parents have set me tons of work to do,
1 ) write a 4 page essay on the importance of obeying the rules.
2 )write a 4 page essay on what I have learnt from being punished,
3 )write 200 times, I will not sneak out while on punishment.
4 ) write200 times, I will obey the rules or accept being punished without complaint,
my parents said if I don't do the work my punishment will be extended,
I think writing lines and essays is a childish punishment and surly being locked up is punishment enough don't you ?

Punishment for what?

Have you got all night for the list Daisy?

oh come on Andie
you have had a good go today
the ding-dong with Nigh
about 10% is readable IMHO and over many threads

why dont the parents make her copy out something useful
like Racine - hey did anyone see that came up on Univerity Cack-up and no one got it ( who wrote Phedre, Britannicus ?)
Clearly too young to remember Diana Rigg in the title role - Phaedra Brittanicus at the South Bank in the seventies ...

and hey coming back to Becs
why dont we petition the parents to let her out
at least that would stop the whining and gibing

[kvalidir]

She got caught shoplifting Vodka, got grounded then sneaked out to a party her parents said she couldn't attend Daisy, in a nutshell.

[kvalidir]

I like her whining and gibing though Pete, it strokes my subtle sadistic side :)

Like the new avatar kvalidir

[Mamyalynne]

Subtle?

Ha!

Inspired by my boyfriend and Retrocop ( not one in the same person I hasten to add). It's Janine Melnitz from Ghostbusters , but she does look like me :)

[Peter Pedant]

if they arent feeding her - poor Bucks - er Becks I mean (why do I think she is a man?)
then eventually she will become too weak to type or talk

hey has anyone noticed - one of Becky's frenz is up next about a lad who apparently loathes her or something. god I can see why

[O god sozza - we're gibing - becks is jibbing]

[scorpiojo]

:-))

I think becks essay really should be
to what extent does the president and senate have the power to vary the selection of a supreme court judge ?

I thought up to this week - senate scrutiny was relevant and beneficial and democratic. The party political shenanigans have persuaded me otherwise. I used to think the tap on the shoulder that the Lord Chancellor gave English hopefuls was the worst but now I can see one even worse system.
In 1820 the political struggle over the kings divorce bill became intense because if the bill were defeated there would be a change of ministry. And then it would be someone else's go at prime minister. So his private matter became a subject for crude public comment.
( according to Princess Lieven writing to Prince Metternich).
In the event, clause 2 was carried by one vote - and the prime minister advised the King that clause 1 would follow and a change of ministry so the whole thing was abandoned.

and here we have 200 y later ....the committee deciding on a judge for the next 40 y is not judging him but dividing on predetermined party lines

shocking the crimes committed in the name of democracy

[Peter Pedant]

what a world we live in
to continue becks essay [ on freedom democracy and everything!]

Trumpo has agreed to a limited FBI investigation of Brett Kavanaugh even tho he is critical of the investigations into his OWN conduct. Only in America as they say ....
So then it goes to a full senate vote where the horse trading begins anew. Again the game is playe don party lines

we look on and wonder

[Peter Pedant]

well yes or no
I dallied too long in bed this afternoon
alone I hasten to add
and now I am sleepless....

O tempora O mores !
