My general opinion on parents "grounding" their kids

[Vegetarian Zombie]

I don't think it's very effective.

With my personality, at least, I get pissed really easily and being grounded for a week for me would be a week to boil in anger, pretty much.

I think it would be better if you were to learn on your own the repercussions of negative actions rather than being grounded.

detention and suspension in school are a lot like being grounded
they restrict you for certain things for a period of time
during that time you're (supposed) to think about what you did and how to not do it again/make the situation better/resolve what you've done

That is highly illogical. Humans aren't perfect. If you suspend them from something, at least for me, I'm not going to think, "Aww, I'm really not doing that again. Look what doing that got me into." I'm going to think, "I am so loving mad... I barely did anything wrong... What the forget."
SERIOUSLY, THAT IS WHAT I WOULD THINK.

If I were a parent I'd stage a fake kidnapping to scare the stuff out of my kid
Which is why I'm not a parent

...Not letting me go somewhere is just making me wish I were dead...

Really?

I'd totally do that too.

...Or something similar to that.

OP is a whiny bitch.

You can get killed outside at any time no matter how "safe" it is.  Considering you would be willing to do really stupid stuff like getting pepper sprayed in the eyes for $5 then yeah I'd be worried too (but also worried because my son's a dumbass).

Basically you're just whining because you're being a disobedient child.  Grounding always works.

You can also choke on food, so don't eat food.

Yes of course, but that doesn't mean you're going to always die from choking food.  You can choke on it but choking is an involuntary reaction to items or objects getting caught in the windpipe to your lungs.  Because nothing should be going there your body starts to push it back up by violently forcing air out of your lungs to push it up, out and over to your esophagus.  Or for you to spit out.

I see your point but eating food is necessary to survive anyway.  I'm talking about thinks like people with weapons, reckless drivers, etc.

Don't be a little bitch and cry about how outside theres a chance of dying
if you die, well, woop dee loving doo. youre dead. you died pretty damn happy too.

whenever mother grounds me I feel like I must do something to spite her and it turns into a big passive-aggresive war thing.
is fun!
