I Have Been A Victim Of Unfair Punishments At School
Right, I don't think this is the right heading for this, but I don't care. Me and numerous others are all in the same situation with this, and I'm going to start a revolution to (hopefully) change parents' attitudes a bit! So anyone who's a parent sit back at try to understand this for our point of view...
In quite a few cases if a child/teenager gets into trouble at school then we get punished at school. But those of us with stricter parents get punished again at home. So in effect we've been punished TWICE for the same thing. However, what is really unfair is the punishment at home is usually even harsher than if we'd done the same thing at home. So not only are we getting doubly punished, we're getting even more than that!
So, how can that be fair? Mess up at home, get punished once. Mess up the same away from home, get punished harsher. Mess up the same at school at get punished even harsher again, as well as suffering whatever the school want to dish out.
Now, don't get me wrong - I'm not saying I don't deserve any punishment, because that would just be completely stupid! BUT why does the level of punishment vary so much?
