yeah i've never been grounded before either...

but we're so limited in wat we can do (1 hr TV, 1hr internet) i guess there's not much reason for them to stop me from doing it... coz for the rest of the time i had nothing to do but study...

I've only been grounded once for like 1/2 a day because the grounding didn't go very well...

i wanna hear the story! why didnt it go well?

Well I was locked in my room for the first part... Then my brother came in to get something. On the way out he pissed me off and I beat him up. Then later I got bored after staring at the ceiling so I started climbing to the top off my bed and then jumping off to practice breaking a fall. My parents thought it was super noisy jumping onto a wooden floor. So I stopped. Then I took my phone and blasted the music so my parents asked me to go out with my friends for the rest of the day.

I think studying nonstop does nothing but stress the kid :/, i know some random general knowledges like the ones Steam asks but he never gave me any price, but i never learn anything really from studying, I learn most of my every knowledge from National Geographic, Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, History Channel, G4(about games

), sport channels such as ESPN, and movie channels for entertainment

I was never grounded, I was banned from the computer for 1 week once as I was hogging the telephone line back in the day of no DSL. When was a kid, I had a 10 minute time-out for playing with the powder you put on a baby's bottom (the word has escaped me). xD During the time period, I was also punished by getting whacked on the hand by the wooden handle of the feather duster thingy.

As for books, for me, some I find so interesting, I just can't put it down. For other books, it's a major struggle... Haha.

Now I must paint! @_@

Haha, yeah, true when I was a kid. As I grew up, my parents mellowed out. For example, my dad would accept even a C if he knew that we were honestly working our hardest. However, if we were to get a B on something he knows we can get an A on, he gets upset. My youngest brother didn't experience the same punishments me and my younger brother did. xD

I think my mother said when I was really young, like pre-teen, I was very well behaved. I don't really remember though. Teenage years, I was just honest and respectful for the most part. I did things that would probably get most kids grounded, but I never got caught and I was mature and responsible about the stupid stuff I did, lol. My mother trusted me.

My father and I shared a sort of mutual apathy for one another and just left it at that.

@viasta- you'll be surprised at the random bits of knowledge that stick with you from studies, but yeah you can actually learn a lot from other sources too. It's mostly just filler until college-level studies when you actually choose what you want to learn.
