I Wear Short Trousers

when i was 13, i got into trouble with the police, as my parents did,nt believe in corporal punishment, i was punished by being put back into short trousers. i would have preferred corporal punishment, as i had been in long trousers since i was 10, there was only one other boy in my class in shorts, and the embarrassment was intense, i was kept in short trousers until the fourth year when i was nearly 15, i sort of got used to the teasing after a while and actually started to enjoy wearing the shorts, i like to wear shorts now as an adult

I respect your parents for dealing with the police trouble their own way. If all boys wore short trousers until at least 14 the world would a better place. Wearing long trousers from age 10 must of encouraged bad attitude. You talk about going back into short trousers at 13 as intense embarrassment but really the only embarrassment was getting into trouble with the police.

I like to think I would deal with the situation the way your parents did. However in reality a boy under my charge would already be wearing short trousers long before he misbehaved.

@ArishMell

n the days when "family planning" was far more difficult than it is now.

If this refers to the person who posted the title story then I think you are being unnecessarily charitable to those who at that time would complain about being unwilling parents. Condoms have been easily available for considerably longer than he has been alive and the pill was available on the NHS from 1961.

@ninalanyon A good point, but I am not sure in which country his family lived at the time so contraception might have been much harder to obtain.

@ArishMell I was raised in Saskatchewan Canada in a french-speaking and catholic family and I suppose that my parents never used the anticonceptional pill which dididn't exist at that time, I learned that the only method authorized by the Church to birth contol was the Ogino-Knauss method known as the thermometer method.
