it sounds like you were getting beaten at a very young age Lucifer, very sorry to hear that, I don't think thats right in any way.
I got detention for sliding down the hard floors in my stockings. They give me detention for everything.
Meh, yeah, I was beaten a lot when I was a child. Limbs, wood, sticks, rubber, belts, fly swatters, wooden spoons, fists, palms, you name it. From the time when I was about 3 until 8 years old I was beaten almost daily. Oh yeah. Also, when I was 3 years old, I said something that my dad didn't like, so he slapped me in the face and busted my lip open. I think he felt pretty bad about it, though, as he was cleaning the blood up.
I'm very glad that has stopped, no 3 year old, or 8 year old for that matter, deserves to be beaten, I hope that it hasn't scarred you too much, you seem like a great kid. Out of curiosity, were your parents alocoholics? What caused the beatings to stop at age 8?
Wow, heh, I'm glad you think I'm a great kid. Thanks. But no, I don't think that it has really scarred me at all. I don't want to sound like an ass, but I've basically been the perfect child for them. I've never really gotten into trouble at school or anywhere else. Also, I don't think I've ever even done anything that they wouldn't approve of. My grades in school are very good, too. I guess I'm doing all right. No, not at all. My parents hardly ever drank then, and they rarely drink now. And actually, the beatings didn't totally stop at that age, I guess they just slowed down. I really don't even remember now. I was definitely beaten after age 8, but... I don't remember anymore. The last time my father hit me was probably about 6 or 8 months ago, though. It doesn't really bother me anymore, though. However, I don't think I could ever hit a child...
Well, I can tell that you don't deserve it, and I hope that soon you can make your own life for yourself outside of your parents home.
Thanks a lot. I plan to do so very soon, too. I'm leaving for college this coming summer. I've been waiting for quite some time.
wow derek we have alot in common .....i'll just say i know where you are coming from, from experience
i got kicked out of school in 3rd grade because my mom and the principals wife didnt get along. that is a bullshit reason for expelling me and my brother, but it was a private school and they are allowed to do what they want, i guess that includes expelling kids that didnt do anything. in fourth grade i stole a bottle of vodka out of my teachers coat pocket. i didnt drink it though, but then the teacher found out and i got detention, the teacher got in more trouble than i did. in second grade me and my best friend tried to sneak out of school during recess and got caught. i dont know where we thought we were going, the school was in the middle of nowhere. i got in trouble for lots of stupid things when i was little
I think Ohio University is where I'd most like to go! Heh, what a coincidence. I plan to study journalism, and I hear that OU is the ideal school in Ohio to do so. Crap, now that I think of it, I have to apply soon.
i got spanked w/ a belt for graffiti-ing the inside of my closet...punishment def didnt fit the crime...wtf...
oh i just remembered a couple: when i was 10 my dad got pissed off at me because I didn't use the same technique as him to wash my face (him:fill sink with water, soak soapy washcloth and then wipe face, also rinse with same water in sink. me: cold cream on face, rinse off with fresh warm water.) so yeah he was pretty pissed about that. also i got a detention in grade 10 cuz my tech teacher was pissed when i didn't appreciate his flirting, so he made something up and told the principal to give me lunch duty for a week but the principal just gave me detention.
In 5th grade I got suspended on the last day of school for putting a razor blade in a hotdog and bringing it up to the lunch lady and saying "I found this in my hotdog."
When I was in 2nd grade my teacher hit me for asking my friend where a certain book was in the library. The poor teacher didn't know that my mom was in the same room. It was nice seeing that mean lady apologizing like that.
I got in trouble for supposedly shooting out a window with a BB gun, but that BB would have to be like the magic loogie from Seinfeld. There was about 4 trees, 400ft, a 6ft fence and a little hill between me and that window.
