I Got The Cane Or Slipper In The Sixth Form
By way of background I was never punished at primary school apart from receiving 1 whack with the slipper along with a lot of my classmates for being out of class when we shouldn't have been.This was in my 3rd year of primary school. My parents up to this point had never formally given me any punishment apart from the odd slap round the legs.So i guess I had been a well behaved girl up to this point.
When I went to senior school we were gathered together for a first day assembley where the Head laid out details of what was expected of us girls especially in the behaviour department. She emphasised that the school was run on very strict disciplinary lines and that any girl who stepped out of line could expect to be punished. The ultimate punishment was expulsion from the school but there were other forms including use of the cane. She even had an example of a cane on the desk behind where she was speaking from and picked it up and swished it and this put the fear of god into me.
Anyway I was very well behaved until the 3rd year when I had reached the teenage years and was 13.We were in a gym class and I was messing around on the wall bars and caused a girl to fall off them.She hit the ground with a terrible thud and everything fell silent. I was sent to the changing room and told to wait there whilst the girl was attended to. I was in a state of shock. The girl turned out to be unharmed with no broken bones or anything worse than a cut where she had hit her head on the floor. She left the school soon afterwards.
I was marched to the Heads office still in my gym kit and had to wait outside while the gym mistress told her what had happened. I was then invited in to the Heads study to learn of my fate. At this point it didn't occur to me that I was going to get the cane.How naive I was.The Head asked me what happened and I gave her a fumbling reply saying something along the lines that I was very sorry and didnt mean to harm her in any way.The Head told me that she was surprised at me as I had always been a well behaved girl and never been in trouble with her before.However she said this was a serious offence and that I was going to be punished.She said she had no option but to give me the cane. With those words my blood ran cold at the thought of getting caned.She said as it was my first offence I would get 3 strokes across my backside.
She then went to get a cane from her collection in her cupboard and told me to bend over the desk. She then told me to lift up my skirt so she could punish me over my gym knickers only.The cane was placed on my bottom and then lifted off and I heard that terrible sound of it swishing through the air and then striking my bottom. I cried out when it hit my bottom and it was the worst pain I had ever felt. The second and 3rd stroke were delivered equally hard and I was in floods of tears when it was over. I had to blub in the toilets for a while then go back to the gym changing room to get back into my uniform. the rest of my class mates were changing but nobody was saying anything.I had to undress and shower before getting changed.Any girl that looked at my backside in the shower could see 3 distinct marks so there was no doubt what my punishment had been. The shower water made my bottom sting even more.
That was my first punishment. If I was sensible I should have learnt a lesson. But no 6 months or so later we were in a swimming class and I pushed a girl into the pool who wasnt a very good swimmer and had to be rescued.I was immediately sent out of the pool and back to the changing rooms and told that I would be visiting the Head when we got back to school.I knew this time that I would be in for another dose of the cane.The pool we were using was about 25 mins from our school so i had the agony of waiting that time knowing my fate.
I was taken to the Heads office and when I went in was again asked to explain myself.I rambled on again about not meaning to cause any harm to the girl. The Head cut me off and these words always stay with me .She said Carly you said that last time but clearly you havent learnt your lesson.The parents of the girl you caused harm to last time wanted to have you expelled but I resisted that request.However i am going to have to think very carefully about your future at this school.I will be phoning your parents when i have dealt with you.I am going to cane you and this time you will receive 6 strokes across your bottom.
She went to her cupboard and brought out a thicker cane than she had previously used on me. i had more protection in the way of clothing this time.My school skirt along with tights and knickers underneath.I was told to bend over the desk and then recieved my punishment which was doubly painful and again had me in floods of tears.After composing myself i had to return to my class and sitting down was not easy as my backside was very sore.It was lunch break shortly after and my class friends grilled me about what happened.
The third and final time came a couple of years later when I was 16.There was a group of 12 of us who were caught smoking.The rule was that smoking meant an automatic punishment with the cane of at least 3 strokes.We were told by the head that we would be caned in groups of 3 and the number of strokes we would get depended on previous offences. i was in the last group with a girl who had been caned once before and another who had never had the cane.This girl was trying to find out what it was like and we werent helping her much by telling her to think of the most pain she had ever experienced and then multiply by 100.
The girl who went in first was the one who had been caned before and she received 4 strokes.The cane virgin girl and I could hear the sound of the caning from outside the office and when she came out she ran off down the corridor in floods of tears.This did nothing for the state of the other girl who was in next.She received 3 strokes and yelled out with each one and came out crying uncontrollably.My turn next so the head saved the best till last.I was told because of my previous offences i would get 6 of the best and went through the routine I was used to now.My 6 strokes were delivered across my bottom protected by school skirt and knickers only and was equally as painful as previous experiences.
I feel that i definitely deserved all my canings and hold no resentment whatsoever towards the Head..Although all this took place 40 years or so ago the memories still remain very vivid.
